I knew it was something bad we would get in trouble with it.

Get in trouble with what...  :angel:

*sigh* fine, i'll say it.

I'd want a LC-130 in CAP colors with an endless supply of JATO bottles. Ohhh, the work we could do with that!
This trouble.

Right, I know what an LC-130 is.

Anywho, add to my wishlist a non Ford van for my squadron vehicle...

Allways thought that would be cool. That or fixing up and painting our colors on the F-86 outside my squadron building.

But really, since my new squadron is poor community I would like:
SAR gear for all my cadets.
Money to get everything needed for my cadets (17 basics) uniforms.  I.E. patches and insignia.
New projector.
A mini bus.
A large supply of money to pay for activities and encampment tuition for all my cadets.
Etc. Etc. Etc

Gotta ask...would this squadron happen to have a really nice hangar that (at least used to be) home to an MT-7 and some transient aircraft like 206's?

I'd wish for duct tape, rope, an entrenching tool, and a road map.

Not that I know of. It was home to the Enola Gay when they were training. And the hanger could use some restoration haha.

Hey, if we could drive it more than it being in the shop, we'd be ok!! That van has had electrical issues since it came off the line!

True. At one point, I think we had one of the oldest vehicles in CAP. That beast is still running, and has been very well maintained over the years we've had it. Sad to see it go to DRMO...

I'd like to see:

Each wing establish a "CAP Officer School" that would provide:

1.  Serious training for newbies... OTS.

2.  Manage the PD program with in-residence courses... every so often officers return to the school house for more training.

3.  Actually LOOK seriously at what we do in each wing, and develop specialized training programs to support operations.

4.  Assist in the training and development of cadet officers by offering specialized training and experience that the unit cannot provide... seminars on leadership, etc.

I think this approach would markedly improve our professionalism.

And, I know I'm just dreaming. :-[

Duct tape.... Dream big! Haha

I forgot something. Orange MOLLE platforms. I would like to have the option without spending $100 for a custom vest.
