Phrog,
I'm a CAP pilot, but haven't been active in a few years. I got checked out in a C-206. Enjoyed it, but don't have the time right now. I do plan on getting back into it at some time in the future.
Frustrations deal with the fact that it's volunteers, and stuff gets done slowly. I didn't work at all with the kids, but the ones I've met are good kids, and do try. They learn a lot about volunteerism and helping others.
Too bad everyone bags on them, seeing as these are the kids that probably won't be spraying graffiti on walls, and flashing gang hand symbols for camera shots.
