Oh boy lately I hit the jackpocket ordering free catalogs. Though now I have slamd to a halt I am having trouble registering with GSA.

Your grammar is getting better, but I don't understand 'the list changes Monday through Saturday.'

Thanks for the offer through.

The list of catalogs grows Monday Through Satarday.

Dont be a geardo.
There are very few inexpensive items that a cadet would actually need. I work with full time SAR deputies who perform ALL aspects of SAR. From the searching to the rescuing in some of the most inhospitable terrain in the US. They really dont carry a lot of equipment unless its winter. Then I see volunteers show up looking like an Infantry Company ready for the Normandy invasion with the price tags still stuck to their gear.

If your really into that stuff, I saw in your profile that your about 17yrs old? Is there anything preventing you from possibly joining the military and attempting to get into SAR. I think for cadets, sometimes getting away from CAP after their cadet life is over is a good thing.
I can guarantee your probably not going to find the level of SAR you are looking for in CAP. There are plenty of areas you can be involved in without being a PJ.

How does a list grow unless you're adding to it?

Some of you "adults" need to check yourselves. Senior member officers pouncing on a cadet one-striper such as some of you did is beyond pathetic. Is your sense of self-worth so tentative that you are compelled to read a new cadet member the riot act so publicly? Get over yourselves already.

capcadetwilliams isn't new, he has been around this board for over a year now, and claims to have been in CAP for around two. 310 posts and 70 threads started are enough to get an idea of what constitutes a meaningful post...

Sort of a broad brush-stroke approach there, that whole"...you 'Adults'..." thing, but I truly don't see the "pouncing" you speak of, except for maybe Pumbaa's 'Monitor out the window' post. In the main, constructive criticism in each response for someone who seems to have noted difficulty in taking same to heart and keyboard.

Speaking for myself, I'm sort of starting to groove on CCW's posting brevity and almost Zen-like/mystical phrasing and structure (or lack thereof). I almost want to go and write some CAP haiku's.

Why not?

By the way, just out of curiousity, would you be the same Mustang commenting over at Phib's place?

This thread has gone seriously astray, but I will attempt to provide some additional insight into the most recent issue.

As noted, Mr Williams is not a new poster. Is his "Why?" a Zen why, or a clueless why? Sadly, I think the latter. He has been given guidance on many occasions, both publicly and by PM, and has neither responded nor apparently paid attention in many cases. It's frustrating.

YMMV.
