You know you are a CAP cadet if...

[Dad2-4]

You communicate with your CAP friends at school using the phonetic alphabet so others won't understand.
You understand terms like SAREX, MAJCOM, WMIRS, FAA, CAB, CAC, etc.
You can name the entire grade structure of CAP, the USAF, and likely most or all US armed forces.

You take your hat off when you go inside.

You start walking with your left foot

You stand up and sit up straight.

You respond to people with precise answers instead of "what ever" or yeah.

[CT074CC]

When you go to work, you make sure your gig line is perfect.

Everything such as wallet and other accessories goes into a certain pocket.

You say you are going on a mission and people look at you weird.

Acronyms are more familiar to you than how to make a PB sandwich.

This is very true of ANY cadet. I went to the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Junior Cadet Accession Program, a scholarship program for high school juniors and seniors in CAP, JROTC, Young Marines, and Sea Cadets. When we checked in, we were given a hat. Most decided they were going to wear it. Well, during a campus tour, we were going in and out of buildings. About 80% of the JCAP cadets took off their hats as we entered the building, the other 20% to soon follow.

I once told my friend to take his cover of as we went in to school. He looked at me like I was from mars and reminded me that this was school not CAP...

We can't wear hats in school... you are lucky. If I could, I would wear a hat everywhere i went.

We can also text during passing periods.

Towards the end of the year no fewer than 3 of my teachers didn't care if I had my phone/ipod out during class. Because, hey, final exams.

At my school, we could have them out during passing period, lunch and before and after school. Being a senior, I knew how to either hide it from the teachers that cared or I had teachers that didn't care as long as they weren't teaching and the work got done. I really only had 1-2 teachers that cared and the others just put up with it because they knew would be doing it anyway, might as well not fight it.

This is why I love being a college student. Generally professors don't care if you use your phone in class (assuming you are bother other students). If you flunk because you spent the whole semester on Facebook, that's your problem. Same for eating/drinking in class and other things generally frowned upon in high school.

Honesty, integrity.
Were you a cadet at that time?

Yes, at the point this was happening and currently. I know that this isn't the greatest example. I can't stand behind it or away from it. I could fall into the trap of saying everyone else was doing it(which they were), but it was my choice.
Was it honest? No. Was I having integrity? No.

 What I do is walk in with a old 90's boombox, turn the volume all the way up, and when the teacher tells me I can't have it out, I say "I CAN'T HEAR YOU".

In all seriousness, I don't play it in class, mainly because I sing it a bit until the whole row I'm sitting at starts singing it.

Last day of school is wednesday. It'll work... Maybe. 

[titanII]

Last day of school is wednesday. It'll work... Maybe. 

Heck, we had detention on the last day of classes, every day of final exams, and (apparently) during summer school

There were seniors that had to make up 4 hours of detentions the Friday before graduation in order to walk. We had gotten out of school Wednesday.
