When I joined a few months ago, I found it awesome that my squadron sent out cadets in uniform to schools with brochures. Definitely got me to join.

What was it about their presentation that sold you on joining CAP?

The uniform, initially got me.

Flash911, I like your signature, but if I can make a suggestion, consider removing the name/unit. It may not make sense now, but it's just a smart thing to do.

Any thoughts on why the uniform attracted you?  How old were you when you joined?

Just turned 13.

BDU + Drill, above all else was what sold me on the program.

Later it was about the Leadership aspect of the program, but to a 13 year old - the uniform, perhaps the sense of belonging with others.

Many years ago WIWAC at the age of 14 it was the uniform and military structure which got me also. Without those I dont think we would still be in existance today;  they are the "cadet magnets" that keep CAP alive today in my opinion!
