I really want(ed) my 12 year old son to become involved in Civil Air Patrol. He wants to be an aeronautical engineer and he would love it. But I was really afraid of what he would be exposed to (he is homeschooled so not among the masses at public school) in the Obama-era military. I was really hoping that would change under a President Trump. I guess the jury is still out.
It’s a huge bureaucracy with a lot of inertia. Getting it turned around is like turning an aircraft carrier in sludge, it takes time. Trump hasn’t been in office 2 months yet.
