{Suggestions:
1. View the Power Point Presentation at: https://tests.cap.af.mil/ops/tests/genes2004.ppt If you don't have that program on your computer, go to our Training page and scroll to the bottom of that page and select the one you need under "Tools".
2. BEFORE you click on the button to Grade each test, print out the Test; then, when you get your grade and if you haven't passed, you can click on the button that gives you the correct answers to the questions you missed so you can re-take the test and get your Certificates -- don't forget to PRINT OUT each Certificate -- then FAX, or copy and deliver, to our Squadron Headquarters so they can be entered into your file, etc.}

To obtain a CAP Driver's License, California Drivers need to get a copy of their Driving Record, from the Department of Motor Vehicles, then submit that and a copy of the California Driver's License to our Squadron Commander to be forwarded to Wing.

Civil Air Patrol MALL Here's the direct link to this shopping program - suggest you bookmark this link as a favorite and rename it: "Retail Mall for CAP Donations" because, the opportunity to purchase items from many well-known retailers, with the retailer donating a portion of the sale proceeds back to the Tahoe Truckee Composite Squadron. The amount of the donation varies with each retailer. You need to select NEVADA as the state, so that you can then select Tahoe Truckee Composite Squadron for this to work for our Squadron; once you have done that each time you return to the site it "should" have our Squadron at the top of the page so you don't have to go through the above procedure each time -- probably only works that way when using the same computer.
