Oh dear lord! Makes me ashamed to admit I was EVER in CAP years ago!! I was around a... lets say... interesting group of CAP seniors (and I DO mean "seniors") this past week. They were assisting the OK Bureau of Narcotics with Marijuana iradication missions, working out of one of the airports I stop at everyday for fuel. While my plane was being fueled, I happened to walk into the pilots lounge, where I was quickly informed by this old geezer in a flightsuit that I was "interrupting their mission briefing", and was not allowed to come in that room until THEY were done. Now it was 104 degrees that day, and I had just spent 4 hours in the plane out on pipeline, so needless to say, this guy just propelled me to a level of pissed off that I dont get to very often. After looking at the door to make sure there wasnt a sign saying the room was closed, I (very rudely) informed Joe super pilot that this was the pilot's lounge, not a briefing room, I was coming in whether he liked it or not, and he could either take his briefing to one of the actual meeting rooms in the FBO, or shove it up his @$$, I really didnt care which. The other 4 guys just sat there with their mouths open, as this idiot says that I cant talk to him that way, because he is a Civil Air Patrol captain, and is on official business. I wont go into what my response was to that statement, but about that time the FBO manager (whom I've known for about 10 years) walks around the corner and tells this guy that it would probably be in his best interest to just move to a meeting room out of the way of everyone else. I think some of these squadrons are made up totally of old guys who couldnt hack it in the military, and now get off on getting to wear a flight suit.
