Trent,
My view of the CAP is colored by the fact that about the only time I see
them is the cadets at OSH. Marching in formation, harness's loaded down
with loads of crap (200' of rope, I'd swear), etc. I can't help cracking
a smile or giving a chuckle when I see a bunch of them marching by.
OTOH, they do act like perfect normal teenagers/young people when they
are not on duty.
Someday, I'd like to ride along when they track down errant ELT's on the
ground. I watched them as they homed in on a piper that must have had
one on.
