As a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol I know there is a lot of time, effort, emotions, professionalism, and dedication that go into being a cadet. It can sometimes be overwhelming but it is so much fun and worth the time and effort. I'm writing this story to help some of you that may be struggling with CAP and for some of you who just want to learn more about CAP. I will write about uniform stuff, customs and courtesies, honor guard and color guard, O-flights, NCSA's and some of my experiences in CAP. I will also try to write about search and rescue and cyber patriot, but I don't do either so that may take a while. Some of this might apply to Air Force JROTC/ROTC I'm not sure, I've never done JROTC/ROTC. I hope y'all enjoy!
