Yes, you can joing the Air Force Auxiliary, which is the Civil Air Patrol. And, you can also join the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Check their websites for information. gocivilairpatrol.com and cgaux.org. I am a veteran of the USAF and looked to go back at 45, but am too old. So, I took "my talents" to the Civil Air Patrol :-)

Any Cadet can be a member of a Unit Honor Guard, provided your unit allows any age cadet to be trained the Honor Guard Elements. Some units may encourage a higher level of maturity or strength for some of the elements, since a Civil Air Patrol Funeral can be difficult to handle for some younger cadets and the Rifles your unit uses should only be handled if you have enough strength and skill to use them. However, that does not stop a cadet from being trained in the Drug Demand Reduction Elements or Honor Guard principles. Ask your local Unit Honor Guard Commander for details. As for the CAP National Honor Guard Academy, the admittance age as of 2010 is 13 years old with only very few individual exceptions for 12 year olds. As a 3rd year outstanding graduate of the Honor Guard Academy I recommend you consider your own maturity level and physical ability before attending. If you cannot manipulate a 5-7lb drill rifle easily or hold a 7ft pole and flag at present arms (45 degree angle, extended from hip) for several minutes you may not be physically ready to handle the rigors of the Academy. The main academic curriculum can be handled by a focused 12 year old, but if you have trouble with drill I suggest you join a drill team or color guard, or even your own unit honor guard. Although the drills are totally different between drill team, color guard, and honor guard, the basic principles of precision and attention to detail remain.
