When I was a kid I joined the Royal Canadian Air Cadets in an attempt to
get a pilots license on the cheap. Didn't work - my smart-assedness
didn't work well with junior Hitlers who think that an Air Cadet rank
gives them sort of power.


I joined CAP as a kid. Earned a 15-hour flight scholarship, then did janitorial
work at the local CAP office in exchange for flight time in the squadron
Citabria (earned 80 hours). But then, I *was* one a'them mini-Hitlers. :-)
