Yeah, those fueling jobs sure makes you appreciate the low wing Pipers and Beechcraft.

I participated in CAP as a cadet for about 5 years. While a great experience, I would definitely not recommend it for attempting to build time. During my membership, I might have flown a total of 10 hours. (small squadron with a lack of competent senior leadership) While it might be a worthwhile aviation-related endeavor, don't count on it for the flight time.
