This is some GREAT stuff!!!  I've been trying to compile some history on some of the more notable ranger-type programs that existed in CAP.  Love the pics on the facebook page.  had to laugh when I saw the cadet wearing the orange beret.  Always heard one was authorized from 1986-1989 in CAP uniform regs, but never actually saw someone WEARING one!  LOL  Reminds me of my Blue Beret days from 1986-1989...

There was a rumor going around at Blue Beret in 1986 or 1987 that a cadet was killed by a lightning strike at Pathfinder Technical School.  Any validity to that story?

I joined as a cadet in Nov 86, I don't remember but I was in KSWG at the time.
"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."
