CAP historian

Do any of the folks here that have been around for a while know the reason for making the National Historian a full Colonel upon appointment? Just curious, as it's not a command slot and doesn't carry a lot of operational requirements such as National Safety or Chaplain might. This is not meant as a condemnation of the policy.... just curiousity how it came about.

At one time Chairmen of CAP Committees were appointed Colonels. The current historian is a throwback to that practice. I doubt that Col Blascovich's replacement will get the same deal.

He did get the same deal. Col Charlie Wiest is the National Historian now and has been for a few months.

Fact... I spoke with Col Wiest about his new position.
