Cadet Ken

Eeyore · May 05, 2008, 06:27:18 PM

Has anyone had 'Cadet Ken' for any of your activities? I was thinking that he might be a good addition for some of the recruiting activities that we have coming up.

Is there any way to request him for an activity?

Any suggestions from those that have done it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was at an Air Show up here in MAWG where Cadet Ken was used. It went over pretty good.

This is the calendar:

I remember seeing a Word Document on there where you could fill info out and send a request for Cadet Ken. I can't seem to find it now.

I've been at one activity at Six Flags Great Adventure where he was used. It can get awfully hot inside of the suit, and there should always be someone with the suit just in case.

Yes, he's very popular and gets lots of attention, its a great idea for anything with public visibility.

I feel like an idiot. I didn't even know Cadet Ken existed! That's awesome!

We used him at an airshow here in TN back in mid-April. He was a BIG attraction.

In more ways than one right?

Now he sits in your Front Yard?? The neighbors must love that. It does beat having a car sitting on cinder blocks though

How many Ken suits are there? Anyone know?

MIKE · May 06, 2008, 08:45:59 PM

Two, IIRC. One Ken and one Kyle (?).

Lovely place to hide the thing.

So how does it work?

Does it get shipped to you? Do you have to ship it back or how does returning it work? What are the costs (if any) associated with using it?

Eeyore · May 07, 2008, 03:45:28 AM

I also noticed on the form that it says "Wing or Region making request"...does that mean a squadron or group can not make a request for Ken?

For some reason I find Cadet Ken a bit frightening: kinda like Mr. Stay-Puft from Ghostbusters...
