| | 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.
|
|
|
| I don;'t care.
|
|
| And you obviously are obvlivious to everything outside of your own world
| view, which pretty much just consists of your illoeceal valve.

Exactly the problem. You don't care about anything, or anyone, except
yourself.

That's one of your many illnesses.
