I'm just curious why the first few ranges were 2 or 3 years, then it went from 12 to 45 years. That's a BIG range. 

BTW, cadet in 1970 in MDWg
         Senior members since 1990.  Almost got my 20 in.

Joined as a cadet in May 1984.

Was a cadet until May 1993, when I turned 21 and became an instant senior member.

Since then, I've been, well, a senior member, except that I DID get one cadet award after I turned senior -- a backdated Eaker Award certificate, un-numbered.

So in May, I'll put a "2" and a "5" on my Red Service Ribbon. Yip, 25 years. No free membership until I double that total. And my time-in-grade comes up for light colonel in September.


CAP since 1984: Lt Col; former C/Lt Col; MO, MRO, MS, IO; former sq CC/CD/PA; group, wing, region PA, natl cmte mbr, nat'l staff member.
REAL LIFE: Working journalist in SPG, DTW (News), SRQ, PIT (Trib), 2D1, WVI, W22; editor, desk chief, designer, photog, columnist, reporter, graphics guy, visual editor, but not all at once. Now a communications manager for an international multisport venue.

Cadet 81 to 87.. I was still technically a cadet when they moved me to SM after I turned 21, but I was overseas, so I didn't actually "join" as a senior until I submitted fingerprints in '88 so I could renew.  I love to tell folks I was a cadet after I was 21, watch their heads spin. :)

Senior 88 to present.
