| | The response of a lot of CAP members in this regard seems to be
| | variable. Just two days ago, there were three officers in
uniform,
| | two Air Force and one Army, and a guy in a CAP set of BDU's at a
| | local disaster drill.
| |
| | Standard protocol would have been for him to come up to us (he
had
| | a first lieutenant bar on his uniform), salute, and say how are
| | you, good day, or something similar. He certainly would have
been
| | welcome to stand with us, share ideas, and come up with some
ways
| | we could work with CAP and the military to enhance our disaster
| | preparedness.
| |
| |
| |
| | They're supposed to, but in fact a large percentage of CAP
| | personell are as
| | crazy as bedbugs and are only there because they're not qualified
| | to be a security gaurd in a mall.
| |
| | This is true to a large degree. However, there's also a mixed
bag.
| | Many members were in the real air force and many have retired from
| | the same. I know several CAP colonels who were real colonels in
the
| | real USAF. There's also a lot of members who just like to fly and
| | have fun and could care less about the pretend military gig. The
| | pretend air force aspect of CAP is mostly for the cadets. Paying
| | $70 per year in dues does not make one an officer, although there
| | are many who seem to think it does. For senior members, there's
| | also the option of wearing CAP distinctive uniforms which display
no
| | rank insignia. That's the option preferred by those who don't
| | really want to pretend they are in the military.
| |
| |
| |
| | Yeah, true enough, there are a lot of good guys in the CAP, They
are
| | in a minority, though. I can't see how they can stand it.
| |
| | It all depends on the squadron you're in. Some are more into the
| | flying aspect and less into the pretend military aspect. Those tend
| | to be the more capable squadrons for air ops because they are less
| | tolerant of pilots who can't fly their thumb up their arse. At
least
| | in my observations. There's lots of CAP pilots who don't ever fly
| | unless it's on the CAP dime. As such they may go 3-4 months without
| | flying at all. Those types of guys aren't well tolerated in
squadrons
| | that are more serious about the flying aspect.
| |
| |
| | Whatever turns them on. Not worth my time to even think about them,
| | mostly.

| I seriously doubt they give a **** what you think. Most intelligent
people
| don't.
|
| That explains why you reply to each of his posts.
