You know you are a CAP geek when....
BY: Kristie Ruesch

We have all done it.... caught ourselves in an act of pure CAP geekdom. I, Kristie Ruesch*, have now compiled a list of things that I have caught myself doing as a result of my 'dedication' to CAP. Enjoy!

2. You change step an average of 25 times per day

3. Instead of dreaming of Orlando Bloom, you dream of your next promotion and how beautiful your new grade will look next to your name

4. Your idea of wearing a low cut shirt is blues without a tie-tab

5. You find yourself explaining to your non-CAP friends "It's a CAP thing" at least three times per day

6. You take CAP in school - your study hall has converted into CAP because you only do CAP work during it.

7. Your email address has a reference to CAP, the Air Force, your unit charter number, or CAPID

8. Abercrombie models are no longer attractive. However, you drool at the sight of a man with a starched shirt, a perfect military tuck, and Corafams.

9. You can only write in black pen.

10. You have written at least one school essay in memorandum format.

11.You have your own personal portable CAP filling cabinet.

17. Most of the key chains on your key ring are related to CAP, the military, or aviation.

18. You iron creases in the sleeves of your t-shirts

19. Your hair NEVER touches your collar

33. Your idea of fashion is the Army Surplus Store

34. You have told the MC Donald's employees that their name tag is crooked and you can't order until they fix it (OK, it was a bet, but I still did it).
