Hey, I'm in the Sea Cadets and I just want to say that it is a perfectly good organization. CAP sounds very intriguing to me, and I am looking in to joining. Can I just say that I am appalled at the animosity between Sea Cadets and Civil Air Patrol cadets. Yes, the organizations have differences. That is why it isn’t just one organization. I commend you CAP cadets for what they have and are doing in SAR, but I also commend the Sea Cadets on their trainings and everything they have to do to advance in rank. I know this sounds really cheesy, but I hope that this hostility between cadets doesn’t last long, as we could both learn a lot from each other. Keep in mind, we are all cadets. Believe it or not, we are representing the United States to the entire world. It wouldn’t do good to have the world see us fighting ourselves, in our own ranks. Maybe next time you see a Sea Cadet or CAP cadet, instead of criticizing their uniform, talk to them. See what their unit is like. You might be surprised.
