| | | 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.
| |
| |
| |
| | Bwawhahwhahwhahwhahhw!
| |
| | Back to the battleship flame technique, eh lamer?

| | | On the other side of that coin there are those who expect to join
| CAP
| | | and think they have a "right" to start flying missions the next
| day
| | | because
| | they
| | | have X number of ratings or whatever, or they are simply a low
| time
| | | pilot who wants to fly CAP planes on the cheap, yet contribute
| | | nothing to the organization. Or they simply join up one day and
| | | expect the organization
| | to
| | | bend around them rather than wanting to be part of a team. Many
| of
| | | them wind up like you and quit. Good ridance, I say. CAP has
| over
| | | 500
| | aircraft
| | | in their fleet, so it should come as no surprise that they are
| going
| | | to auger one in now and then. The nature of the business involves
| | | some level of risk. Of the crashes you mentioned, all involved
| very
| | | experienced and competent pilots. Perhaps they did do something
| | | stupid, but if you think you are smarter than they were, or a
| better
| | | pilot, you have the type of attitude that often leads to a smoking
| | | crater at the end of your flying career.
| | |
| | |
| |
| | Are you in uniform? Did you salute Viperquack's first post?
| |
| |
| | Pretty funny coming from someone who salutes janitors.
| |
| |
| |
| | Bertie

| |
|
| Interesting how easy you can lie.
|
|
|
|
| Really?
|
|
| What lie, fanboi?
