I earned the rank of Cadet Colonel in Civil Air Patrol. 30+ years later I still utilize the skills I gained from CAP. Wonderful organization to be a part of.

For 12 yrs I've had the privilege to be a part of this outstanding organization, despite my disability of Cerebral Palsy I answered the call to service, and whilst we aren't paid monetarily the best payment for me is the thanks of those we help, the veterans I've worked with throughout the years, plus mentoring and leading the generations of tomorrow's leaders!

I retired from the USAF 25 years ago and I am now getting involved with CAP. It's time for me to give back. Thank you for your service.

The air force version of the coast guard auxiliary. Just like sea scouts or young marines, they're basically boy scouts in air force uniforms. The adults are like scout masters. They were usually pretty fun when they shuffled up to you in their cap uniform and started giving orders.

@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 4 жыл бұрын

The Young Marines & Naval Sea Cadet Corps are Youth Cadet Program similar to High School JROTC. The Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary & Coast Guard Auxiliary & State Guard are used by the Department of Homeland Security to provide Search & Rescue to the state .

@jacobj3236 4 жыл бұрын

So the boy scouts do search and rescue and work alongside the national guard during disasters? Didn't think so. Also, if they are boy scout equivalent, how is it possible that if you are in the CAP and have a certain rank, you can join the Air Force with the rank of E-3? CAP were the only ones in the air during 9/11 also and take footage of disasters to help assess the situation for the military. They aren't boy scouts. Not everyone wants to go to war.

@CreepaZX 5 жыл бұрын

You can join your local squadron as a senior cadet, and learn with other seniors with you. I'm currently the rank of an Airman, so I don't know much. You'd need to look up more on the site, and get information about your local area and it's squadron.

@ronaldrobertson2332 4 жыл бұрын

You would very much be welcome as a senior member. As a mission pilot, when you complete CAP/ES qualifications, and your status as a paramedic, you would be welcome as a ground search and rescue team member. For more information, especially for the location of your local squadron, go to: gocivilairpatrol.com. That should set you in the right direction.

There’s more than one place for you in C.A.P. you could be a Squadron Medical Officer, a Pilot, and first aid comes in handy on SAR missions.
