Hi! Thank you for the response! Unfortunately my parents are too busy to drive me any distance longer than the squadron closest to me. I've heard a lot of great things about CAP and had a generally positive experience. Probably this unit closest to me isn't the best fit.

Hi! It's comforting to know that both you and your son had great experiences in CAP! CAP is an amazing program from which I think I can learn a lot of new things. Somehow I felt that the guilt-tripping part kind of scared my family off. Though I really like CAP, I just feel bad about mentioning...

Thank you for your response and your amazing offer first of all!!! I do think that such a phenomenon is not the norm across the country. Also I'm not sure if that guy is just using the fact that we don't know much about CAP. When I arrived at the meeting, the first thing he asked me is where my...

Hello! My family and I have a question regarding Civil Air Patrol after our 2nd meeting at the local squadron yesterday. I'm aware that Civil Air Patrol allows parents to join as volunteers and/or senior members, but there's this one guy who's been pressuring my dad to enroll as a senior member...

Oh ok thank you so much!!

Thank you for the response! I believe that there will be instructions in the portal, but since the Army ROTC hasn't opened its applications yet for the next school year, I can't really access information from that source. I also feel that it's safer that I start preparing now instead of waiting...

Hi! Thank you for your response! I did manage to find the pdf for the scorecard, but I wasn't sure who could administer. Most sources I've seen say it could just be a PE teacher, so thanks for the confirmation.

Hi! I'm a high school junior who's looking into the service academies but is heavily considering going the ROTC route at a military college as well. I know there's a requirement for a physical fitness assessment. Who is authorized to administer/proctor the assessment? I've seen on some threads...

Hi! Thank you for putting the link up! However, when I tried to access it, the page gave me an error notice. Do you know anywhere else where I can access this?

Haha! Honestly I hope they even out. Too much of neither is too good. Meanwhile I'm sure we're all praticing both all the time.

Hi!! Thank you for reminding me that I would have to do lots of pushups! I have been practicing pushups but then I saw that the VFT requires pullups, which is what I'm weakest at. Now I see that I have to practice pullups along with push ups.

That's what I thought too. I've seen many articles talking about how prevalent racism, sexism, and hazing are in these schools, but I never believe them fully.

Ok thank you for your response! Sadly our school doesn't offer anything military, not even JROTC. 😂😂😂

Oh ok I see! Thank you for the new information! I only know that you have the option to attend basic training during the summer of junior year.

Thank you for your response first of all! My school doesn't offer JROTC and it seems that one of the students took a picture wearing her military uniform. She said she's in the Army reserve in addition to going to a state university.
