Sewing things on BDUs

No. She railroaded me out of the job and tried to take over the unit. True story. She looked good on paper but...let's just say train wreck would be the kindest term I could use to describe her. Absolutely REFUSED to attend the senior D&C program I set up to eliminate the problem. The one who took over after she...left...was amazing, but by then I was mired in college and work and left for 6 years.

As an aside, where is it required to participate in D&C?

Time. Interest. Commitment.

Wow, read that as what, not where. Oh, well.

If the commander decides it's important / required, it's important  required.

If the commander decides it's important / required, it's important  required.

If it is that important, then it would be in a published SOP or OI.  That makes it required. Other than that... Cite please.

Well, for starters, who said it wasn't or couldn't be?

But with that said, cite what?  Any reasonable directive within the boundaries of the program has to be complied with or the member risks disciplinary action up to and including termination.

D&C is well within the bounds of CAP membership. If a commander dictates that all members will participate, what grounds would they have not to comply?

"We never did that before..." Is not a valid justification for disobedience.  Obviously anyone who doesn't like it can vote with their feet, either via transfer or leaving CAP, but if they choose to participate, they don't get to pick and choose which parts they "agree with".

That's what I was asking, as it is not in Nat regs. I agree with you.
