Very confusing, but that was the place to go!

We have a few tests to be completed, but aiming for 10 badges to be awarded.

If you are searching for results of the rocketry tests taken in either the Old LMS or in AXIS, go to the 'Past Results' module in the Old LMS.

If you are looking for someplace to enter results of tests taken on paper, there is no place to enter it.

Congratulations to your cadets on completing part or all of the model rocketry program!

Same question - We just finished launching and I (as Admin officer) need to prepare a list of who has completed what test.

Cadet Programs Management & Activities / Re: 2b or just let it expire?
Last post by NIN - April 29, 2024, 03:47:02 PM
There's any number of reasons for automatic termination, including failure to maintain a satisfactory academic school record (CAPR 35-3, para 3a(5)) and voluntary resignation (35-3, para 3a(8 )), but a voluntary needs to be signed / initiated by the member.  Those cadets who are not returning or are transferred out of the class seem to be in the latter category.

Also failure to progress,  the "three meeting rule," or misconduct are additional not-for-cause reasons to terminate (para 3b, c or d). You could probably make a misconduct 2B stick on the disrespect issue, but you really need to have documentation of the behaviors and actions leading up to the termination (corrections, counseling, etc) to be an "open and shut" termination for Misconduct.

Honestly: if they're not renewing (ie. leaving the class, not coming back next year) its probably OK to just let their membership run out (is the renewal in the fall?).   However, from a strictly administrative standpoint (ie. you want to make sure one of your volunterary leavers doesn't get accidentally renewed in the fall), its probably a good idea. That keeps everything above board.

Cadet Programs Management & Activities / 2b or just let it expire?
Last post by Dad2-4 - April 29, 2024, 03:11:27 PM
We are an in-school squadron so my cadets are enrolled in CAP class. The school pays for their membership.
As we draw near the end of the year, a few cadets have told that they will not be in CAP next year, and one more got transferred out of the class in January.
My question is, should I file a 2b, or just let their memberships run out? 3 of the cadets have shown disrespect directly to me, the CC, and are failing several classes, so I will 2b them anyway.
Thoughts?

There is no template for the annual unit history. Here are examples, in varied formats: https://cawghistory.cawgcap.org/collections/show/1

The specialty track pamphlets are your friend. Different tracks have different requirements. The IG track tech must be signed off by a senior or master IG-rated person. The ES track recommends a senior or master ES-rated mentor, unless the squadron doesn't have one, in which case an alternative may be used.

The AE pamphlet is silent as to required qualifications for a trainer/mentor. The commander's judgement applies.

Membership / Specialty Track Ratings
Last post by fish7days - April 27, 2024, 02:09:15 AM
I have a question about who can sign off on rating checklists for Technician, Senior and Master ratings.

Looking at the checklist for AE Technician, for instance, the PDO or Mentor initials that the incumbent has answered all the questions and/or complied with requirements. Then the Commander signs the form.

I have heard by way of a few casual conversations that a Senior has to sign off a Tech and that a Master has to sign off a Senior. Not sure who signs off a Master. I could not find that provision in the regulations.

Can someone please clarify that the above is correct/incorrect?

Thanks !!

I tried looking online and was only able to find 1 example of a Squadron unit history. Can anyone point me to a word Doc template, or the like to get myself going?
