NESA - the National Emergency Services Academy - is fine for cadets who think it's cool to play soldier for a week and learn how to do things they'll likely never do in the field, or aren't allowed to do in the field - like setting up a helicopter LZ (are you kidding me? Like CAP can call in a medivac chopper and guide them in? Pretty sure the EMS/Fire/Police already know how to do that, and they do it all the time. Sorry, CAP, that responsibility will NEVER fall to you..)
But, if you're an adult with a brain - or even half a brain - and you think you're going to go to NESA and get treated like an adult - think again. NESA is a cadet program, and CAP should just advertise it that way. They don't know what to do with non-pilot adults except yell at them and treat them like children. The people they desperately need in CAP are successful, intelligent adults to work in programs like Ground Teams - which is a glorified cadet program, anyways. But, CAP lets the "weekend warriors" who have no life be the instructors at things like NESA, and drive the smart ones away in droves.
If you're a non-pilot adult considering NESA, think again. If CAP ever gets a clue, their program may actually work.
