Rating:
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
You know you've been in CAP too long when...
1 You're broke from paying for everything for the last few years.
2 Your Cadets are afraid of you
2a If You’re a Senior member: Your cadets think of you as a mythical creature often heard of but unseen.
3 You are moved "out to pasture" a.k.a the little back room where you can't bother anyone.
4 Your uniforms have so much starch in them they can stand at attention without you.
5 You walk instep with everyone, all the time.
6 People are yelling in class and you have to fight the urge to yell At-Ease.
7 You hear a plane fly over head you have to drop what you are doing so you can look up at it.
8 The sound of a plane crashing does not instill panic in you, but joy.
9 You have better Field Gear than the US Soldiers on CNN.
10 You take your Special Activities so seriously that you carry your own Fecal matter in a zip-loc bag for a week because someone said not to leave anything behind.
11 You have your own Mountain Gods that you pray to, and occasionally sacrifice small cadets to them.
12 Someone asks you why your single and you respond with: "I'm married to the cadet corp." or "If Uncle Bobick wanted me to have a girl friend he would've issued me one!"
13 You call all old men and women Sir and Ma'am no matter who they are.
14 You go to an airport and you run out onto the flight line and start directing the planes, weather they want you to or not.
15 You can understand and communicate in all the C.A.P. acronyms.
16 Your chair in the staff office has your own permanent butt grooves in it.
17 You find out that your senior members are as dirty minded as you are.
18 You know the distinct sound that an ELT makes, and that high pitched, annoying squeal is music to your ears.
19 Playing with knives, machetes, and rifles isn't much fun anymore.
20 You can survive in the wilderness for 4 days with all your gear and knowledge, but you forget it all to make things more interesting.
21 Your cadets celebrate when they find out your leaving your command position, and are even happier when they find out your leaving completely.
22 Your boots don't need to be shinned anymore after years of polishing, and layers upon layers of wax, they are also water proof, acid proof, flame retardant, and could withstand a nuclear blast.
23 You have been around longer than your Headquarters has been.
24 You finally tied a small cadet upside down on a tree like you always said you would.
And finally #25 You finally realize what C.A.P. stands for:
Come
And
Pay
