You've got to be kidding me.

It just grinds my gears when people say that we are not a "REAL" Search and Rescue team, when we have numerous times proven ourselves and found targets that local LEO and Local "Teams" couldnt find. We train just like a SAR team does, maybe not a frequent, but we still train.

Finding things most often as to do with assignments, not abilities.  As far as CAP training like a SAR team?  OK... Ill just say your experiences have obviously been much different than mine.

CAP trains like an organization that wants to be a SAR team. Or a disaster relief team. Or an emergency management organization. Or a youth program. Or an education program. Or....

Having lots of experience on a team is great. Having lots of practical experience is much more valuable.
