I was a cadet in CAP while I was in high school. I was an interesting and
educational time. One of the best times was a two week encampment at the
Air Force academy. I got a ride in a two seat F-16 that I still remember 24
years later like it was yesterday. There are also a lot of benefits to the
kid that is looking at going into the Air Force after graduation. I think
they go in as an Airman First class.

People I talk to tell me CAP is loaded with military rejects and

wannabes
and
former military with large egos. While the flying part would be fun if

you
actually got to do it, the environment doesn't sound too appealling.

Having
played that game once in the early 70s, I wouldn't want to go there

again.

I've heard these same stories. Nonetheless, my son is planning to join

CAP
this summer.

I'll report back here from time to time on the environment they provide.
