CyBorgII - do you have an actual reason for being here? I mean, you do realize that it is not all about you, right?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As to "why am I here?" being that I am an outcast from CAP...someone has to provide a dissident voice on the otherwise overwhelmingly (with notable exceptions) pro-toe-the-National-line atmosphere here.
A: Not really.
B: You're not an outcast, you left voluntarily.
C: The fact that you can't just move on and enjoy your time with the CGAux is unfortunate.
Dissidents remain part of the organization. You left you are not a dissident anymore.
There really is nothing to fear even if we do not believe anything NHQ does or say anything against. There will be no harm. No jail term, no arrest, no black helicopter coming after us...
After being told that my only two options for service were patron or "ghost" squadron service. As you know, Herr Oberstleutnant, I tried to rejoin CAP in a different unit, was stonewalled as to why not (hence points 5 and 6 on my list) and expected to just "fade away." I would say that makes me somewhat of an outcast, pariah, whatever.

Good grief, for somebody who signs their posts with Quote Permanently ex-CAP, now back in the CG Auxiliary and digging it no end you sure spend a lot of time on a CAP forum trying to make yourself some sort of Che Guevara. Isn't there some sort of CGAuxTalk you could be on, ingratiating yourself with over how much better they are than CAP? Your pride is hurt. I get it. Let it go, dude. Take the good stuff you had, leave the bad, and improve yourself and your current organization.
Some units are like fraternities. People join to be pilots or air crew, and they either never get the opportunity to get into the plane or they get treated like an outcast among the table of flight suit-wearing Top Gun fighter pilots. That's the reality of it.

That's the reality of it.I hear this a lot about opportunities to fly the plane and don't get it. In my Squadron anyone who is qualified can rent the plane for C-12 Proficiency flights every day of the month if they want to. I simply go into WMIRS, enter the sortie and it gets released. Off I go to the airport.Who, in these other squadrons, are telling pilots that cannot rent the plane?So many squadrons do not meet the desired 200 hours per year with their plane. They should be excited to have a new pilot come along willing to rent the plane for proficiency flying or training and bump up the hobbs.
