I was actively involved in a squadron, visited many more, and I know what CAP is and in theory should be. Further I know what CAP should not be.
I am sick and tired of CAP being treated as an alternative to legitimate businesses; FBOs are not the evil empire. Speaking from personal experience, this is a driving reason behind Senior member involvement (other than cadets' parents).
Quite honestly life and limb should remain entrusted to the professionals. I've seen so much BS from the low to high levels of the organization hold up real world missions that I want to puke.
For these reasons CAP is not what it should be.
Hey-I like the cadets. God bless them, truly. Heck, I'd have half a mind to stick around just to see them develop... However, I can't justify in my mind the rest of the organization especially for the above reasons.
