Civil Air Patrol Unofficial Podcast

by CAPFAN

Explore the odd, tantalizing world of CAP — cadet life, promotions, drill, encampments, emergency services, leadership, squadron politics, and the timeless mystery of where everyone disappeared to during cleanup.Whether you're a brand-new cadet or a seasoned and jaded senior member, you won't be able to hit that pause button. We're just too fascinating. Unofficial. Unendorsed. Not affiliated with or directed by Civil Air Patrol, the U.S. Air Force, or anyone brave enough to officially approve this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
