Civil Air Patrol is an auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Their primary mission is Search & Rescue. Other activities include sundown patrol; orientation flights; FCC radio/telephone license classes; CPR & first aid classes, and a host of other very interesting programs that facilitates the development of leadership skills; both corporate and moral.
I'm a former member of the Palm Beach Cadet Squadron, Unit# 08159, one of the finest squadrons ever of the Florida Wing.
Take up the invite and go and see for yourself. Oh and btw, it's a great idea.
