Or written out the Civil Air Patrol. There is a group near my location and I wanted to know if any of you were/are in the program so I could get recommendations as to either or not to join. A little help here?

EDIT: Ive joined the CAP, thanks for your advice guys! Hooah!

CAP is a pretty cool program to get into. It's something that a whole ton of people enjoy doing. You'll like it.  

[Bossman Joe]

So do you know any particular pros and cons in the CAP?

Civil Air Patrol is the official auxilary of the Air Force. It has 3 missions. 1) Aerospace education 2) Emergency Services 3) Cadet program

The emergency services for example is basically search and rescue. You do a lot of downed plane searches. Aerospace Education is a program that was created to give kids a positive outlook and good understanding on aviation.

CAP meetings are pretty interesting from what I hear because there is always some sort of military atmosphere.

CAP has the same ranks as the Air Force and you wear their uniform with modifications.
