Character Development Instructor
Chaplain Corps Character Development Instructors
What is a Character Development Instructor and what do we do?
-
A Character Development Instructor (CDI) is an officer or NCO who is appointed by the CAP Chaplain Corps.
-
Primarily a CDI receives special training to facilitate the monthly Cadet Character Development sessions, and the Senior Core Values instruction.
-
Secondarily the CDI assists the Chaplain Corp by providing administrative support, mentoring, and other duties which may be assigned in a unit.
-
CDIs serve at all levels in CAP. If a wing does not have a Wing Chaplain, a qualified CDI may be appointed as a Wing Chaplain Corps Coordinator.
-
A CDI may choose to become involved in Emergency Services. They receive training to support the Mission Chaplain by becoming a member of the Chaplain Support Team as a Chaplain Support Specialist (CSS). The CSS rating is only an Emergency Services rating.
