Hey, I was wondering when you were going to post! Anyway, I was tired that day, I had a small lunch, and He was giving off the commands too fast, I was nervous, and I perform better in an actual flight. Just my little complaints, lol. So, SHUT UP!

I'm a C/CMSgt in CAP now (gotta brag), but it's an awesome program. Check out the site, http://www.cap.gov, You can find units near you. It's pretty good for your future because if you make C/2nd Lt. you get a rank up when you join the real military.

Hmm, I've heard of CAP, but I never considered joining it. Guess that's because I never knew there was one in my area.

I don't suppose it would be too late to join if I'm a senior in high school?

I don't suppose you went to COWG encampment this summer?

And yes, I agree, CAP is awesome. The best program around. I just made C/2d Lt.

I am in the Civil Air Patrol right now. I am a senior airmen. This is a great program, especially if ur intrested in the Air Force. I get to do really cool things that others dont get to do (like flying, being in parades, and numerous other things). I highly recommend this program.

If your going to do CAP which I highly promote, do it and stick with it, your entire life is going to be a constant back and forth, sometimes having a good time with people you like, and sometimes trying not to rip someones head off, might as well get used to it early. So dont be a quitter, and have fun doing it, It will earn you some rank if you ever decide to enlist.

I was in CAP for a few years. Then I quit because the officers were playing favorites with the cadets, making things quite unfair and not enjoyable at all. If run properly though, it is a decent organization.


I like these calm little moments before the storm.

Hey amp...
I was actually in CAP for two years...I had a blast... something then happened with one of the senior members and I decided that I didn't need the negativity in my life, so I decided to quit, but otherwise I positive that I would've gone really far in that organization... It was sad because it was right after I got my 'permit' to be part of a Ground Team...
