Hello,
I recently read the insightful article about a Senior Citizen’s take on prepping. She mentioned that she had her grandson join the Civil Air Patrol (CAP [1]). I am a cadet member of the Civil Air Patrol, and have been for three years. The Civil Air Patrol [2] is the auxiliary of the United States Air Force, and performs Emergency Services, as well as Cadet Programs and Aerospace Education. There are quite a lot of opportunities in CAP; everything from learning to fly, roughing it in the wilderness, and looking for downed aircraft. I strongly recommend the program for anyone interested in Aviation and Preparedness, and you can meet quite a lot of like-minded people there as well. Not to mention the positive influence it gives to young people. Thanks again for all the work you do with SurvivalBlog. Semper Vigilans! – Andrew A.
