other than airsoft

Junior Civil Air Patrol:

Civil Air Patrol's first cadet program was started during World War II as a way to provide training for future pilots. Since then, the program has flourished, combining Aerospace Education with Leadership and Career training.

Today, CAP cadets are those members who join between their 12 and 18 birthday. Cadets who turn 18 may either become a Senior Member or remain a cadet until 21 at their own discretion. Cadets who join the military automatically become senior members when they receive their first orders.

As a Cadet progresses through the cadet program, they earn various achievements by successfully passing both Leadership and Aerospace Education tests. Test questions are derived from reading materials supplied to cadets, but the program is also designed to allow cadets to fill ever increasing leadership roles that are pertinent to their Leadership Studies questions.

As cadets advance through the ranks, they also progress through four stages of development. The first phase, The Learning Phase, introduces cadets to the CAP program, and cadets who pass all requirements receive the Wright Brothers award. The second phase, The Leadership Phase, begins placing more responsibility on cadets as leaders of newer cadets. Cadets who complete The Leadership Phase receive their Mitchell Award, and are eligible for advanced promotion upon enlisting in the military. The third phase, The Command Phase, places cadets directly in command of other cadets, allowing cadets to accomplish tasks through their staff members for the first time. Cadets who complete The Command Phase are awarded the Earhart Award. The Executive Phase is the last phase of the cadet program, and focus cadets on the operations of an entire unit. Cadets completing the command phase are awarded the Eaker Award, and may, upon passing an extensive cumulative test, may be awarded the Spaatz Award.

As cadets progress through the program, they are placed in charge of lower ranking cadets. Cadet's aren't given full reign over the others, but instead are expected to instruct classes and mentor each other. Senior Members, the adults of the program, also play a large role in mentoring and evaluating cadets. The numerous awards, achievements, and opportunities available to Civil Air Patrol cadets allows them to foster their leadership in an academic and forgiving environment.

OHHH ok Now im informed and can give my OPINION.
I believe books and written tests(although i LOVE to read) can't teach you what you physicaly do and experiance. It does seem alot safer than what i would support because I like more physical learning. The CAP seems like a lot of self gratifying awards with little learning benefits based on a good idea much like the FCCLA. It would not be my cup of tea. Now ive run outta points to write about so you start can start hating me about my opinion.........NOW!!

Back to topic: I do nothing but School, Watch the AA forums and clean my rifle.

What the heck do I do?
School for me won't start for another week now, but that'll be priority #1 when it does start. Then there's skiing,
writing and recording music,
hanging out with my friends,
talking about how much I need a gf
going to parties, dances, raves, things like that,
and wasting whatever time's left on the interwebs.

No surry, Im not the Senior Patrol Leader, just the webmaster and scout.
SPL. stands for specialist (marksmanship and "sniper field craft"). Im not really planning on going any further in BS...just gunna concentrate on JCAP and airsoft for now haha. Theres not much for me in Boyscouts anymore...Ive experienced all there is to experience.

yeah, i feel like ive been in it too long, but , its a commitment, just like alot of other things

Cool! I should be getting eagle in about 2 years if all goes right. This summer I went to sea base, and next summer I'm off to philmont!!

very nice. Philmont is really nice. (even better for airsoft) but you'll enjoy it. Don't bring anything electrical out there if you go late summer. It rains a lot. + there is like no electricity to charge anything on a 11 day trek
