Seems the one's that CAP picks for flight/training are more a matter of
politics than talent.

My experience with the CAP left the bitter taste of bureaucratic
politics in my mouth. It also raised concerns about military drug
running. Perhaps my intuition wasn't too far from the truth:

Air Force jet was used for drug run, authorities say
NEW YORK (AP) - A U.S. military pilot and a sergeant were being
held on federal narcotics charges after admitting they flew an Air
Force jet from New York to Germany and returned with 290,000 pills
of Ecstasy worth millions of dollars, authorities said Wednesday.

What the hell does that have to do with CAP.


On the military field where the CAP post was located, I observed some
suspicious activity among the pilots who instruct CAP cadets.
