Several threads have discussed the Civil Air Patrol use of Search And Rescue competitions. They can build spirit, and skill, but.......
Those of you who know me know that I am going to throw a curve here.
How about competing in external competitions. This year West Virginia University hosted a Competition. Did CAP send a team?
Should we send teams in the future?
Thoughts??????

I don't consider that a curve, I consider that a necessity.
The best way to prepare for outside competitions is to compete internally, first. Only way to find out is to do it. I'm all for it. If I lived up there still, I would have done it in a heartbeat. Too bad I moved south last year.
