Nicely done! I used to be a cadet in the Michigan wing, decades ago. Had lots of fun adventures, including catching a ride on a C-130 to Cape Canaveral and the KSC. Anyway I just wanted to give you some encouragement, not least because we seem to be neighbors -- I'm in the Goddard/Greenbelt area myself.

I am in the CAP Ohio wing composite squadron and I am loving it.

Yo! The photos you showed are from 2023 "Pass and review" at AZ Wing Encampment. I was Bravo flight commander. Awesomd video!

Yuma Rudie is my all-time favorite CAP Major because, well, he's like the CAP superhero, you know? I mean, he's always super-duper dedicated to CAP stuff, whether it's emergency thingies or teaching about spacey stuff, and he does it with this crazy passion that makes you think rockets are like, totally the coolest things ever. Plus, he's, like, the best mentor ever, not all bossy and grumpy, but, like, super friendly and helpful. And guess what? He even knows how to fly those big metal bird things, which is just mind-blowing. So, yeah, Yuma Rudie rocks the CAP world, and that's why he's my favorite.

It's unfortunate my Matriarch and Patriarch were terrible to say the least. Some of you were lucky to have great parents. Be fair to the fair and dwell in knowledge🥂

I was in Cap for 14 years and made it to regional staff. It became way too political, and the higher-ups were more concerned with self before service. Crying shame. Used to be a good organization. Get rid of the personal politics and you'll bring back the quality.

Is this citizen only? Can green card holders apply?

Are you still apart of the Cadet Program? If so, do you have any tips for studying for milestone tests, specifically Wright Bros?

[jonasbananas]
