<p>My son is in Civil Air Patrol and loves it. It took a while for him to find his niche/speciality. There is a Long Island group – just googled it - here is the link - [CAP</a> LIG - What We Do](<a href=“Home | Long Island Group, New York Wing”>Home | Long Island Group, New York Wing) More importantly, look at the National summer programs to get an in-depth peek as to all it offers.</p>
<p>CAP and SeaCadets offer more hands on than JROTC. And they are not mutually exclusive.I know CAP cadets who are also ROTC and JROTC.</p>
