I do hear a lot of CAP trashing at Sea Cadets... But I dunno, I'd really like to join two cadet programs to get a firm military feel so in the future when I really get myself in I'm not surprised. I really wish we had a JROTC here though ...

Why aren't you cool with the Young Marines might I ask?

Because they are cheap... Period because they only have two trainings Boot and Advanced Boot. And Becuase I'm Navy all the Way, so Stay Navy.

You guys are lucky f s the closes YM unit to me is 150 miles away

theres a Young Marines unit over at the middle school by my high school...
but i know the kid that is the one of the sgt's for it and i prefer to stay away from him...
(hes always hitting me when something goes wrong...)

i was gonna do Young Marines but the nearest one , while a little closer, is still quite a drive away. anyone know of a unit around Gaylord MI?

Then I turn around and meet another "safety briefing"(Don't put your hands on the burner, Jonny. It hurts) or a "We can't do this because we'll get sued"... Are you getting my point?

Not to bomb on the CAP or anything. It's a great organization and all, but YM puts it to shame.

Exact same thing with me!

Heres what I got for nearest unit...
