I have been struggling with insomnia for the past 2 weeks, and I was wondering if this would medically disqualify me if I were to take over-the-counter medication such as melatonin for it? I have not seen a doctor about this yet, since I'm not sure if I would be DQ'd for this. I am hoping to get...

National History Day (NHD) is the competition. In the past, I won 3rd place nationally, and I am working hard this year to hopefully be competitive. It is a lot of work, which is part of the reason why I am hesitant about applying for SEAP. On one hand, I don't want to inconvenience the SEAP...

I have had my eyes set on USCGA/USNA for some time now, but recently I have been doubting whether the military really is the right fit for me. I am currently entering my sophomore year of high school, and have earned a multitude of leadership positions while maintaining good grades. However...

I'm taking online health over the summer. It is a graduation requirement so I'm trying to get it out of the way over the summer so I can take two science courses next year.

Any current midshipmen/cadets with CAP experience care to speak on this?

I am trying to keep all my options open this early on in my high school career. If I decide later on to not attend a SA/ROTC, how will civilian colleges view CAP? Would my time be better spent participating in something else non-military related?

How was your DS able to balance all those sports along with CAP, possibly other EC's, and school?

I am currently a high school freshman.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experiences with Civil Air Patrol (CAP). I have heard it is a very large time commitment, and I am hesitant to join because of sports, other ECs, and school. However, the leadership opportunities sound excellent and I am very...
