How successful and for what reasons was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred in an attempt by the Japanese to gain control of as much land as possible. The attack itself was very successful by damaging the ships in harbor. The one major point that was not expected was that none of the Aircraft carriers were in the harbor during the attack. Had they been, the US Navy would have nearly been wiped out according to information I have read. The information I have has come from various websites and books like "Day of Infamy" by Walter Lord.

Does Hawaii have an island named Hawaii?
Yes, there is an island called "Hawai'i" in the archipelago.
The island has several nicknames: "Big Island" "Orchid Island" and "Volcano Isle," which are used to distinguish the island from the state, since they both bear the same name.
Even more confusing is the fact that the Big Island is in the County of Hawai'i as well. To avoid confusion, island residents typically refer to their island as "The Big Island."
The name of the island, the county and the state is derived from the Polynesian word for homeland: "Sawaiki"

What do you need to do exactly to get promoted to airman in cap civil air patrol?
Talk to the officer in charge of documents and the like and ask for an 'airman promotion contract', on this contract is a list of stuff you have to do. First you must obtain a complete uniform which for most squadrons is a problem due to garbagy supply lines. Second you must memorize the cadet oath. third you must participate actively in the squadron so if your flight is doing traffic control at an airshow or rodeo or training on a base then you should be out there doing it. Fourth you have to take a test called 'leadership chapter one' (again talk to the document guy) and pass at I believe 100 percent. fifth you have to pass a Physical Training test which can vary by age and gender. sixth you must participate in a "moral leadership forum" which is a fancy term for listening to a chaplain talk about the meaning of life ( and if religion bothers you don't worry the fellow at mine rarely ever talks about god or religion). lastly get an NCO or an officer to confirm that you have accomplished these tasks by signing the document then take it to your squadron commander who should be the head honcho (adult) senior member. once all this has been done and once national headquarters processes it you will receive an e-mail saying you have promoted from airman basic to airman.
mine took about five months because we had a lot of trouble getting my uniform. you can also get a promotion contract off of your squadron website basically if you live in newyork city or something type in "new york civil air patrol" or if you live in spokane type in spokane civil air patrol
