Civil Air Patrol

Civil Air Patrol is the best program in the United States today for young men and woman. Whoever said it was a political disaster does not know what the hell they are talking about. They are only getting one side of the whole show. This program is great. We do Search and Rescue, Aerospace Education, and promote manners and a good path to life. If you get far enough in the program you can earn advance rank in the US military.

Civil Air Patrol search and rescue teams found me and i am alive because of those outstanding individuals.

Civil Air Patrol

Civil Air Patrol is a great program youth, ages 12-18, and adults, to learn the core values of leadership, learn about aerospace education, and develop character that will last a lifetime. It is also a great program for people who like to serve their country and help people. Conduction search and rescue operations is the least to say. Along with practice flying, and numorous amount of national activities, I can easily say that C.A.P. is the most sophisticated program for getting people ready to join the armed services, but more specifically, the Air Force. As for the senior members, they can enjoy their post Air Force years in C.A.P. serving as executive officers for certain activites, and helping the cadets with guidance and what not. This is a very good program. I was in it. If you want to strive, join. If you get far enough, you can go into the armed services starting with 3 stripes, nice huh :)

Civil Air Patrol pretty much beats boys scouts and JROTC. They just don't compare, thats why I've seen so many switch over, but if you do both at the same time, you rank up faster, if that's your MO.

civil servant

An employee of the state who is rarely civil or a servant of the people. Politically correct to the nth degree, usually to the exclusion of common sense and proportion. Protected from the ravages of the commercial world by contracts written by other civil servants, minimal working hours, maximum holidays and generous pensions all at the expense of taxpayers actually working and being productive in the private sector are the norm. Often on sick leave, obstensibly because of "stress", but if actually at work most likely to be having a coffee, emailing friends, and convening pointless meetings where nothing gets decided and actions are not acted on.

Nice work if you can get it, and if you do its a job for life, as no matter how incompetent, lazy or just plain stupid you are, its almost impossible to get fired. Brilliant.

Ask people to word-associate with 'Civil Servant', and you might get things like 'grey suit', 'bowler hat', 'faceless bureaucrat' and 'lazy incompetent boring waste of taxpayers' money'. And that's just from female ex-Prime Ministers.
