facebook mishap

[jman5222]

so lets say that a couple of people were talking on facebook about other people that they did not like, and they said some rude things, and some how the squadron commander found out what they were talking about. the commander kicked out 4 cadets at 1 time, for doing this, i would like to fix my mistakes and maybe (if they let me) rejoin the squadron.

Work it out with your commander. What the folks here think about the situation is irrelevant.

Take it as a lesson learned. Be careful what you post on Facebook. Go try to apologize to your former Squadron CC. Mature a little bit.

It must have been fairly serious for a Unit CC to terminate 4 cadets, that or their reaction to the situation may have been in appropriate.
Regardless, there are a few avenues of appeal potentially open to you, but if you have any hope of rejoining at the previous unit, as said,
you're going to need to show yo understand the mistake and how and what you plan to change.

yah, i know that i have to show that i learned a lesson here, even if it was the hard way , but what if the squadron commander is my dad?

[EMT-83]

Then he can 2B you and inflict the appropriate corporal punishment.

Then you just may end up being the "example". 

[jman5222]

yes, i might be, me and 4 other people will be, we are probably going to go to another squadron, once my friend turns 16

If you were 2B'd for cause, it might not be that easy to rejoin.  Were you 2B'd, suspended, or asked to voluntarily resign?

When I get bored at night, I start following links to check on the cadets in my squadron.  It is amazing how many cadets you can check on and they never know you were there.  The "Friend of a Friend" stuff will kill you on Facebook.

We're you terminated or just told to GTHO?

That's why I keep my privacy settings set to "Friends only" for EVERYTHING. No "friends of friends" crap.

[jman5222]

my privacy is all friends only, and i wasn't 2B'ed. thank god..... i was just kicked out of the squadron, for an undefined amount of time, i usually never post anything about CAP on my Facebook, but these were messages that i sent, and some how they got sent to the CC, and the deputy commander, and my dad, by someone in the chat.

Guess the old adage still applies:  If you can't say something nice about someone, then it's best to say nothing at all.  (or at least be very vague )

[Eclipse]

The only way to "win" at FB is not to play.

It also sounds like you're more "grounded" than terminated, and if your dad doesn't handle things right, it could wind up coming back on him.
CAP has very specific rules about terminations and suspensions, especially for cadets, and they don't include informal "through the door or out the window".  You're stuck with whatever dad says, but the other cadets have a right to process.

[Major Lord]

Actually, other than whatever punishment his Dad may inflict privately, the Cadet enjoys the full protection of the Regulations as they are written. If Dad kicks him out by not letting him play CAP, he is within his rights, but if his Commander subjects him to inappropriate and extra-regulatory punishment  the Cadet is within his rights to  take it up the food chain. Since this non 2B (seemingly) applied to several other Cadets, I think a chat with the Group Cadet Programs Officer and the Commander to clarify and distinguish his power and roles would be appropriate. I would be interested to know if there was a pattern of contumely or mutinous behavior amongst these cadets, and whether at any point they were appropriately counseled (Not Wall-toWall) in the form of a Form 50 review or other documented meeting. Stay off facebook! You may need a security clearance or a job someday, and anything you say can and will be used against you.
