| | | 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.

| | That's because you have never finished anything. If they won't let
| you
| | run it, you pout and go home.

| |
| | Back to the battleship flame technique, eh lamer?
