Originally defined as "civil" due to its separation from the military. In the past it denoted all types of engineering including electrical, mechanical, mining, etc. Today it includes bridges, canals, docks, foundations, harbors, off-shore construction, railways, river basin management, sewerage, soil mechanics, structural design, construction, traffic engineering, water supply, etc. The field so large that no engineer can easily specialize in more than two areas.
In other words, civil engineering deals with civilization building and maintenance.
They also like to drink beer, crack lewd jokes, and are generally above average in both looks and intelligence thus guaranteeing that they can attract members of the opposite sex and fill the world with more civil engineers.

Get the civil rights mug.Cadets usually aged 12-18, some up to the age of 21 can join the Civil Air Patrol and choose from a wide variety of activities. A very rewarding, yet draws negative attention by some idiots.
There are three kinds of cadets;
1.) Those who actually sit and learn about the values of leadership and aerospace power. These cadets usually end up earning prestigious awards and will become military and business leaders of the next generation.
2.) Those who kind of just do nothing and have no idea why they're there. These cadets quit after the first 1-2 years.
3.) Those idiots who buy tactical gear and Kevlar with their parents money, dressing themselves up like an Air Force Pararescueman or an Army Green Beret and act hardcore when they've probably never even shot anything more powerful than a BB gun. Cocky, yet extremely insecure. See also: poser

Get the Civil War mug.The AUXILIARY of the United States Air Force. The Civil Air Patrol performs many missions including Search and Rescue, Disaster Relief and Aerospace Education. The Civil Air Patrol also had ground teams for search and rescue, and average 100 lives saved a year.
The Civil Air Patrol also has the largest fleet of single-engine aircraft in the world, complex VHF-FM and HF-SSB radio systems that allow for interoperabily with navy, air force, marine corps, coast guard, as well as disater relief organizations such as the red cross, FEMA, etc.
The Civil Air Patrol is a national asset that at least does something useful, unlike the ROTC.
