I think the best decision I made in high school was to join the Civil Air Patrol. I’ve been a member of CAP for about a year and half, and the only thing I regret about it, is that I didn’t join earlier. CAP has taught me how to be a better person and a better leader. The program also convinced me that I wanted to pursue a career in the US Air Force. If you’re between the ages of 12 and 18, I would highly recommend this organization. Go to the website linked above, and find a squadron near you to visit. You won’t regret it - I promise.

On one of the trips (I talked about it earlier) I got to go on with CAP, we went down to Eglin Air Force Base in Pensacola Florida, and got to tour a V-22 Osprey. I’m telling you, this is one cool aircraft. I was very impressed with the level of technology present in this plane. Everything is state-of-the-art, and looks really nice. I wouldn’t mind flying one of these someday if they get the kinks worked out.
