Yesterday we went to an open house of the Civil Air Patrol. It was at the Allegheny County Airport. Cody has always talked about going into the Air Force. This is an auxillary unit of the Air Force. It's for kids beginning at age 12. 
It's run military style. They wear uniforms and camo. Have physical training. But they also have classes in aerospace among other things and get 5 free training flights in a Cessna plane and possibly a glider. So they actually get to fly!

Once you get to a certain rank in the civil air patrol, should you decide to join the air force, after basic you begin at a higher rank and get a $500 a month pay raise over those just off the street. They learn all about search and rescue, leadership, and tons of other things. He seems excited to join.

The Air Force is a good service to get into. Great training and cool toys. Not a bad idea.
