1. Air Force Academy's recruiting/admissions website- "consider getting involved in something like scouting, Civil Air Patrol"
2. Military-style training, learning about aerospace stuff, leadership training

1) I want to go to to either Air Force Academy or Annapolis, and saw something about CAP on the AFA website.
2) I was interested in the military aspect (i.e. drill, pt, etc) and being around like-minded people.
3) I still enjoy the aspects of CAP that made me join in the first place.
4) I definitely don't like that every year CAP becomes more and more politically correct, not as hard-core, and in general, less like it has been.
5) I think colorguard events are one of the best things to do to advertize.
6) Any event that a colorguard performs at.
