E148: Civil Air Patrol

Civil Air Patrol is a bit of a red-headed stepchild. But it’s probably one of the most interesting volunteer organizations.

In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Allison of Civil Air Patrol. He’s going to share with us what C.A.P. is, what they do, and why you should consider getting involved. And, we’ll even discuss how you might be able to get some survival training.
