re: #432 EdDantes

Thank you. As a young teenager I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol.

I joined as a cadet in 1964. Once a cadet, always a cadet. It was a lot more fun than the Boy Scouts. The uniforms were way more cool, and free besides. I’ve been a member ever since (though not active during my military service) and will get my 50 year ribbon next year.
