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. Paul Davis "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:O3Qhc.1996$w96.428947@attbi_s54... 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
