The best organization for young people who are motivated to join the military (especially the Air Force).
Civil Air Patrol is freakin awesome.

Civil Air Patrol is a great program youth, ages 12-18, and adults, to learn the core values of leadership, learn about aerospace education, and develop character that will last a lifetime. It is also a great program for people who like to serve their country and help people. Conduction search and rescue operations is the least to say. Along with practice flying, and numorous amount of national activities, I can easily say that C.A.P. is the most sophisticated program for getting people ready to join the armed services, but more specifically, the Air Force. As for the senior members, they can enjoy their post Air Force years in C.A.P. serving as executive officers for certain activites, and helping the cadets with guidance and what not. This is a very good program. I was in it. If you want to strive, join. If you get far enough, you can go into the armed services starting with 3 stripes, nice huh :)
Civil Air Patrol pretty much beats boys scouts and JROTC. They just don't compare, thats why I've seen so many switch over, but if you do both at the same time, you rank up faster, if that's your MO.

1. A rare and sometimes pricey documentary based on punk bands from the West Coast scene of the early 1980s.
2. A film with rare footage of bands such as the Germs, X, Fear, Catholic Discipline, Black Flag, The Alice Bag Band, and Circle Jerks.
3. Penelope Spheeris's footage of the early West Coast punk scene which ranges from obscure bands to better known bands of the scene of the time. Her work on the film shows the raw, gritty, and visceral era of punk rock. Interviews are conducted with fans who experienced the movement when it was something to be proud of. A film void of the big three of punk (Ramones, Clash, and Sex Pistols).
4. A must have for any person that has an interest in the old school punk scene.
Hey Frank, did you see the Decline of Western Civilization? I paid fifty bucks for my bootleg copy, but the footage was well worth it. It provided me with alot of great footage, interviews, and interesting facts of what the scene used to be like.

The theory that alcohol is the cause of the existance of civilization. In the theory, alcohol is considered to be the "enlightenment" of man.
The Alcohol Civilization Theory was invented by me as a joke.

Civil rights were formerly things like the right to life, liberty, and property
More recently things like the right not to be offended and the right to marry insects.
Annabelle is fighting for her "postmodern civil rights" she wishes to consummate her marriage to a dung beetle.

ROTC does nothing but prepare THEMSELVES for the military, CAP does emergency services, search and rescue, aerospace education..etc. While you guys are marching around on power trips and deciding who has the shiniest boots, we're out learning to fly, locating downed aircraft, and going to special schools that qualify us to make a difference. CAP encampment is our equivalent of your Army ROTC Bootcamp and a prereq for Ranger School, Blue Beret, and several other elite programs. I would love to see our drill-teams show down. And as far as being 'wanna-bes'..who's a wannabe? the guy who isnt yet in the service, but kisses his commanding officer's ass for that recomendation, or the volunteers who actually have authorization to assist in military maneuvers? Ur not yet a soldier so dont get all big and bad and secondly, the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and USMC, really appreciate what we do, so we could care less about your whiny opinion.
No such thing as a bad NROTC cadet or Marine option cadet?? yea, cause you all equally suck..i'll admit we get some bad cadets, but they sure dont make it very far.
