Anyone Know About Civil Air Patrol?

[CigarNut]

I was in the Civil Air Patrol nearly 40 years ago when I was in high school. It was a pretty good organization training us for search and rescue, teaching us survival skills and allowing us to help out and provide support for civil authorities when needed (e.g., traffic/pedestrian flow for parades and the like).

Learned lots of good stuff -- some of which I still remember after all these years
