For CAP, what kind of hair do you need and also, does it offer Para rescue as one of the things to do?  I'm not in CAP yet, but I maybe soon..

Brown hair.  No para-rescue.

Conservative style men's hair cut.  Hair off the ears and off the collar
is a good start.   
CAP has a cadet special activity that is hosted by the Air Force that
includes interaction with AF Para rescuemen.  It is called PJOC,
ParaJumpers Orientation Course.  No Pararescue training at the local
level. :D ;)

Brown hair.

39-1 Clearly shows black hair in the grooming standards...way to give him bad info.  :P

As for the OP, are you looking at joining as a cadet or adult member?

Come on guys, lets not scare off the newbie, yet.

juicedude, if you look at http://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/M39_1_atchs.pdf it will give you the grooming guidelines as well as the height/weight regulations to be able to wear a Air Force uniforms. However, don't sweat it if you don't fit the grooming or the weight stuff, there are uniforms styles that can be worn by those members who fall outside those regulations.

As for para-rescue, we have not done that since WWII :)

Walkman cannot respond. Do not ask why. Just keep going about your business.

Unless he's a cadet, then he has to meet grooming.

Even then, a cadet still has to met the standards.

You asked if CAP offers Para Rescue.  CAP is the only organization that offers the Para Rescue Orientation Course, Combat Control Orientation Course where you can participate in some very limited training with them during the summer.  Just to clarify, we do not DO Para Rescue. I have met prospective cadets who thought Para Rescue was a CAP mission.

I don't think you could scare me off, due to the fact that I want to go HALO (high altitude low opening) from 30,000 ft at night....

and also, do you have to be above a certain weight?  Because I'm under the max for my height, by alot...because i'm around 5 2, and thats 141..I'm not even above 120...

The weight guidelines are for the top of the scale. If you are below the listed weight, don't worry about it.
