Title: Promotion Certificates and other Cadet/SM awards
Post by: cap4fun on June 04, 2007, 12:29:04 PM
I really need some help.  Does anyone have a MS Word or some sort of electronic document for the promotions certificate?  I am also trying to get more incentive by creating awards within the squadron.  Can anyone help?  Send to capmisawa113@gmail.com

Well if cheating were trying, I'd get the TLC certificate and change the verbage.

Go to www.texascadet.org. I created a whole slew of award certificate templates there.

I've scanned some and used them for the delayed certificates... but if I reveal my identity, I'd have to commit suicide... oh, yeah btw... don't look at my signature block below, k?

Does anyone have a template for the Certificate of First Flight (CAPC-77)?

Thanks. ;D

By the way, if you need to create any that they don't have, you can save a protected document in Word 6.0 to disable the file protection. Close it, reopen it, and save it as a current version document or template and you can make anything you want out of it.

I did this with the 2A so that I can do a mail merge from an Excel list of folks getting an award or action (Red Service, transfer to patron etc). Would work great for CAPF 60s and 31s.

If you need another signature on that petition, let me know!  That'd be a great help!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, we discussed the idea of a pseudo-commission certificate for officers.  Is anybody doing anything like that?

to whom are you lobbying to get a suggestion re: SIMS?  Dennis would be more direct than the lobbyists.

I created a couple of different variations back when the 'commissioning' certificate thread was up in the air a few months ago. Lemme check out my stash at home.

Here they are... One is sized for 11" X 14" and was designed to look like the RealMilitary's commissioning certificate. The other is sized for 8-1/2" X 11".

Both templates are unlocked; you will need to 'lock' them to take advantage of the drop down sections.

Holy crap you're good.  Your texascadet certificates are great, but to elaborate, think we could develop the medal awards like the "realmilitary" with the medal suspended below the flowing ribbon also?

Heh, thanks! While I'm a drafter by trade, I'm not sufficiently skilled enough in the nuances of Photoshop to do a really nice 'flowing ribbon' medal illustration. Could do it in AutoCAD and then convert it, though.

I deliberately omitted any award certificates that are already issued by NHQ CAP and prepared by higher echelons, lest I get my lowly self in trouble with echelons above reality... ;D Now if eServices could use these certificates to automatically generate when an award is issued like they're doing with the Yeager... but it's only a pipe dream right now.

I had everyone in our squadron sign their oath of office that we were sent from group.  There were no instructions on how administer it, and it was just a plain sheet of paper with fill-in-the-blanks.  Would've been nice to have an actual certificate like these here.

I knew I had this somewhere, but I couldn't remember where.  You know you've been in CAP too long when you have so much CAP realted junk on your computer that you start losing stuff...
