One of the lowest forms of human life are those who for what ever reason didn’t serve in the military, yet pretend that they served. Usually you’ll find them to be claiming they were Officers, Special Forces, Seals, Snipers, Green Berets or something else way above their real station in life.

I was in the C.A.P 1973-75

Even if you were in the CAP, being a member of the CAP does nto qualify as military service. It is an auxiliary organization, like the ladies auxiliary to the VFW.
From the Civil Air Patrol Website

Am I considered a member of the military?
No, you are a civilian and do not have any obligation to any branch of the military. You can not be deployed, called to active duty, or forced to serve in any branch of the US Armed Services in any way. CAP members are not eligible to receive any Veterans Administration Benefits for their volunteer service to Civil Air Patrol.

As the United States Air Force Auxiliary unit we used to fly out over Lake Michigan (vfr only) to help find lost or distressed boats. Sometimes the weather was a little nasty and when youre 12 years old you get a little scared over that cold and dark water- We flew Cessna 150's and if that engine stops, you're gonna die, but I wanted to serve

Well it got me a free dinner at the Golden Corral on Memorial or Vetrans day or whatever, and we were the United States Air Force Auxiliary Warriors.

We had uniforms and everything!

Yeah very funny grady...not!- We reported a brush fires, checked fence lines, and transported vital aircraft parts amongst other things....

"Thousands of volunteer members answered America's call to national service and sacrifice by accepting and performing critical wartime missions. Assigned to the War Department under the jurisdiction of the Army Air Corps, the contributions of Civil Air Patrol, including logging more than 500,000 flying hours, sinking two enemy submarines, and saving hundreds of crash victims during World War II, are well documented"

It's kind of like the Air Force was the NFL, and we (C.A.P. pilots) were college football players..We did it not for the money, but for the love of country and a desire to serve. Thats the only difference between the two branches-

UNiforms - so does the marching band.
