Civil Air Patrol is the best program in the United States today for young men and woman. Whoever said it was a political disaster does not know what the hell they are talking about. They are only getting one side of the whole show. This program is great. We do Search and Rescue, Aerospace Education, and promote manners and a good path to life. If you get far enough in the program you can earn advance rank in the US military.
Civil Air Patrol search and rescue teams found me and i am alive because of those outstanding individuals.

ROTC does nothing but prepare THEMSELVES for the military, CAP does emergency services, search and rescue, aerospace education..etc. While you guys are marching around on power trips and deciding who has the shiniest boots, we're out learning to fly, locating downed aircraft, and going to special schools that qualify us to make a difference. CAP encampment is our equivalent of your Army ROTC Bootcamp and a prereq for Ranger School, Blue Beret, and several other elite programs. I would love to see our drill-teams show down. And as far as being 'wanna-bes'..who's a wannabe? the guy who isnt yet in the service, but kisses his commanding officer's ass for that recomendation, or the volunteers who actually have authorization to assist in military maneuvers? Ur not yet a soldier so dont get all big and bad and secondly, the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and USMC, really appreciate what we do, so we could care less about your whiny opinion.
No such thing as a bad NROTC cadet or Marine option cadet?? yea, cause you all equally suck..i'll admit we get some bad cadets, but they sure dont make it very far.

Civil Air Patrol is a great program youth, ages 12-18, and adults, to learn the core values of leadership, learn about aerospace education, and develop character that will last a lifetime. It is also a great program for people who like to serve their country and help people. Conduction search and rescue operations is the least to say. Along with practice flying, and numorous amount of national activities, I can easily say that C.A.P. is the most sophisticated program for getting people ready to join the armed services, but more specifically, the Air Force. As for the senior members, they can enjoy their post Air Force years in C.A.P. serving as executive officers for certain activites, and helping the cadets with guidance and what not. This is a very good program. I was in it. If you want to strive, join. If you get far enough, you can go into the armed services starting with 3 stripes, nice huh :)
Civil Air Patrol pretty much beats boys scouts and JROTC. They just don't compare, thats why I've seen so many switch over, but if you do both at the same time, you rank up faster, if that's your MO.

a overrated boy scouts that goes around giving military ranks to kids even though no one respects them.
I'm never going to fly a plane if some 12 and 13 year old kids from the Civil Air Patrol are going to be my only rescue!

"Tony joind the Civil Air Patrol because he was too old for the Boy Scouts and too young for the Air Force. What a lame-ass wannabe!"
