Crap happens. I've heard of some in my local wing. Most of us
work what we can against it, and hang around to do the job.
Actually, the negative things in CAP aren't much different than the
negative things in most other organizations I've been in or
observed. "They" isn't everyone; and most are volunteering their
time and resources even though things aren't perfect.

That's true, but the percentage is much higher..

I was being harangued into joining a chapter years ago because I had
a lot of big tailwheel time and they had a very beat up Otter they
wanted to fly. Most of them were OK and at least they actually were
attempting aviation, but they still had so much crap going on anyone
in their right mind would run a mile.
Then they got an AT-11 that "needed a bit of work" I wanted a
personal notam if the thing ever got flying (fortunatley it didn't)
so's I could rapidly get out of its operational range in case it fell
on me.

First, from you a couple days ago:
Most of them are little tinpot power freaks who are too crazy to get
clearance to be security gaurds at pillsbury bakeoff.
Now,
Most of them were OK...

So, basically, you left because you didn't like their airplane and now
they are all bad guys.

Nope.


Wrong.

There are some power freaks and politicos, like everywhere.


Yep, but not a few.

Most are
guys like me.

Not in any squadron I've come across.


We volunteer to go looking for people and stuff when
needed, pay for the training to do so, and put in lots of time. Many
of the services are other than SAR. When you carelessly paint with a
broad brush, you do a disservice to an awful lot of good people.


Nope, the good ones are great. Just not many of them.


Maybe they don't miss you.

Dunno.


You call people names way too often to be
good company.



Mebbe, besides the point, though.
