I am 24 years old and very interested in pursuing my PPL, along with instrument and commercial ratings eventually. Right now, money is definitely an issue and I have been looking into CAP.

I've always wanted to fly ever since I was a child, but I have chosen a different career (I am currently in dental school). Eventually, I want to fly regularly, but I also want to fly with a reason/purpose (such as CAP missions, Christian medical/dental missions, medical/dental disaster relief, etc.), and I have been looking really seriously at the CAP. Is it true that CAP is a good way to get inexpensive training? (Note, I am also very serious about serving regularly once I have the hours - I'd like to use flying, even single engines, as my way to serve God and country).

Thanks in advance for any advice!
