Anyone familur with the Civil Air Patrol, knows it generally leads to a career in the Air Force, or the aircraft industry in general. I'm familure with this girl and her family, and have donated to this fund. She deserves this honour, as she's worked bloody hard to achieve her current level. If possible, I'd like to ask for the members contributions to help her make this trip, as she would make a excellent representative for the U.S.
Link to her GFM page is here:https://www.gofundme.com/international-air-cadet-exchange
Thanks in advance, ABE.

No one interested in helping this young woman out? With the number of veterans on this board, I thought at least some would be willing to help her meet the goal.

My kids were both in CAP.
You mean to tell me this girls parents, friends, and Flight or Squadron can't come up with the extra $315 and she has to go online begging for it???
Now that's sad.

In order for her to make the trip, she needs to pay her percentage. The balance is already paid for, and these days, it can be hard for a teenage girl in a rural county to come up with a grand in a short time. Shit, I work full time and I can't spring loose of that kind of coin, can you?

Thanks to those who donated, I'm certain she'll be quite excited when she finds out.

It was only money. Besides maybe she'll make a good officer someday

Well, she is a driven and well organized gal, already has her pilot license. Are you still over "there", or state side? May be able to get a introduction.

When its time to go in:
That place of steel and stone. I pray that you will keep me safe, so I will not walk alone. Help me to do my duty, please watch me on my rounds.
Amongst those perilous places and slamming steel door sounds. God, keep my fellow Officers well and free from harm. Let them know I'll be there too, whenever there's alarm.
Above all when I walk my beat, no matter where I roam. Let me go back whence I came, to family and home
