Initial set up of Great Start (Cadet) page.  &lt;br /&gt;

The Cadet Great start needs updating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. National&#039;s most recent document is from 2008.  In 2018 it was revising it but nothing new has been released.   https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/programs/cadets/library/greatstart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. There are countless modified versions at units across the us; all have some merit but nothing is consolidated; Alabama has a nice guide that we could use as a template:&lt;br /&gt;
https://al032.cap.gov/join/cadet-great-start-program&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. (more recruitment; less great start) This site has helpful information and video links: https://lawrencecountypa.cap.gov/join/faq-cadets&lt;br /&gt;
