Need help on Senior member record keeping

There's a Benjamin O. Davis Leadership award? How do you get that?

[RogueLeader]

For Level II, used to be the COP (Certificate Of Proficiency)

[RogueLeader]

It's the CAPF 24. Had to look it up again. . . .

[Camas]

There's a lot to be said in keeping your CAPF45b up to date as well.  Your unit PDO should be on top of that.

Sorry, this was supposed to be the new name for the Level II.  At least that is what I heard through the grapevine.  Maybe I need a new grapevine...

[SJFedor]

That's correct. And, the purple/white ribbon is now known as the Benjamin O. David Leadership ribbon.

The biggest issue I have noticed with the CAPF 24 is that when you apply for the level 3, you have to complete 2 wing/region/national conferences.  I've been to a couple of wing conferences and have never received a participation letter or anything else to show that i was there.  How do any of you deal with that issue?

What I did for our Wing conference was to write up a short memo stating that the following members attended the conference with the date, then just included the list of those who attended from the squadron.

I saw one reply were the squadron admin officer prepared a memo of his squadron members that attended the wing conference.  I used a wing conference from another wing for Level III, and even though my squadron CC was aware of it, I prepared a letter of attendance and asked the other wing CC to sign it.  That resulted in him inviting me to attend a breakfast with them at Cracker Barrel, my first introduction to this wonderful establishment.

You get the purple/white ribbon for tech rating.  Not sure what you get when Level II is done.

Is this documentation important?  I attended the Nat'l Conf when held here in St Louis, and also have last years Wing Conf under my belt...but never received any certificate/notification of my attendance to either one, even though I had to sign in for both.  When filling out the form for my Loening (Level III) I put the dates, but didn't have anything to attach for documentation.  Will this effect getting my Loening?  Do I have to write to HQ and to Wing to get a letter from them stating that they acknowledge my attendance?  ( I do have proof of the StL Conf...I won a drawing and had to go up on stage during the banquet to receive it from Him Who Must Not Be Named and many pics were taken...next day was in the hospital...maybe the pain I was in at the time was the reason I failed to salute Him before returning to my seat....hmmmmm).

You should be fine.  I think most people don't have documentation stating they went to a conference.  The dates should be fine - don't sweat it.

[davedove]

No documentation is really required.  The memo doesn't go anywhere and just serves to remind people of just what conferences they attended.
