| | 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.

|
| Gee Mikey Mouth. I didn't know you were a CAP wanna be.
|
| I figured out you were a pilot-wannabe some time ago, Okie.

One of the many thousands of things you know nothing about.

And yet I still have you pegged, Okie.
