If you look at our missions as a organization you will notice that Cadet Programs is just one out of 3. The others being Search and rescue, and aerospace education. Our main goal is not to be cadet centered. We do some missions for the AF and Homeland Security. Some of the work we can do would be search and rescue, border patrol, and even walking up and down the flight line doing security for an air show. Cadets can participate in most of the activities listed; however, there are some limitations. Because the majority of cadets are minors they can not participate in some SAR missions, and border patrol.
Other difference's would be in the grade structure, how we promote, and training. We are also the Auxiliary of the USAF.
We also have Senior Members. They are the adults in the program. Some work with the cadet programs, to help run things and assist in the training of cadets. But others may only work in the SAR missions, or even at Group, Region, or Wing level.

There’s are many more things that make us different from JROTC units, but when you narrow it down it's the goal of the programs.

Back to the Air power and hoorah thing. I have never heard a cadet in CAP say air power. And come to think about it, I have never heard anyone say air power. My Sq likes to use Hoorah, and many others around mine. I guess it matters where you go, sort of like the soda vs pop thing.
