Civil Air Patrol. It is a civilian volunteer organization under the US Air Force which support search and rescue efforts for downed civilian aircraft as well as supports community outreach and leadership programs. It's a wonderful opportunity for any kid. Marc has been able to fly a glider and a prop aircraft a few times for training as well a taking part in SAREX(search and rescue exercises) and is looking forward to going to their annual encampment next summer. That is one week of training at an army or air force base, living in barracks and doing live fire exercises! CRAZY! He is in the competition drill team and they travel to events to compete against other CAP units from all 50 states and Puerto Rico. His unit has won 2nd place in the country the last 3 years and every year they are beat out by Puerto Rico. It's payback time this year and they are determined to beat them so Marc is extra gung ho. LOL

Ok, now you know more than you ever wanted to know about CAP! LOL
