I been active for 5 years now and was a cadet from 1969 to 1973. It is a
volunteer organization with many USAF rule and reg's. The rules are not
to bad for anyone with former military experience, however there are the
usual political issues as there are with any volunteer organization. The
level of which depends on the units and state you are involved with.

As I pilot, my personal view is that if I go down I sure want someone to
come looking for me. And if I expect that then I need to be willing to
return the favor if needed. There is training involved and it is much
more professional and demanding as compared to the early 70's.

If you or anyone has the time to commit I recommend it. Give it a try
and it is volunteer you can quit any time.

So - what's the story? Is it a good organization to get involved in?
