Thank you for your help. That was where most of my confusion came from. Vanguard, the national website, and the McChord rack builder all showing it but I couldn't find the regulation that allowed it. Thank you for your help figuring that out.

Quote from: MRW on April 07, 2024, 12:57:40 AMI have both my model rocketry badge and my Goddard ribbon honor credit. I remember reading somewhere that now that I have my Mitchell I can wear my Goddard ribbon with a silver star. Since I already have one for the honor credit does that mean I have two stars or one? If so what reg says that? Thank you for your time and help.

Quote from: arajca on April 07, 2024, 01:57:20 AMNothing authorizes an "Honor credit" device on the Goddard (or any other) ribbon.

Except NHQ on the NHQ website, and 60-1 5.4.1.4.

Looks like honor credit with rocketry gets you two silver stars.

Ref CAPR 39-2, Section C, para 14h:
NOTE: A silver star may be attached to the Goddard Ribbon
by those cadets who have earned their Mitchell Award and have satisfactorily completed the
requirements for the Model Rocketry Badge (reference CAPR 50-20, CAP Model Rocketry
Program).

Nothing authorizes an "Honor credit" device on the Goddard (or any other) ribbon.

I don't see anything about promotions in his post. He said POSITION, which I took to mean he would not have a new transfer slotted into a cadet staff position until they had completed three visits and officially transferred to the squadron. Nothing warranting an IG complaint there. Commanders are free to appoint and rescind staff positions as they see fit.

I'm seeking guidance about parental involvement. Is there ANY Reg, Pam, LOI about what a parent is allowed to do or limited from doing?

Background: A parent in our Squadron became an Adult Sponsor and quickly determined that she "..had more freedom as a parent!"  So she let her membership expire and now she is our Sqd private Facebook page administrator, runs events like Open House, etc.

Is there anything that prohibits this?

Thank you for your input......

Quote from: PHall on April 06, 2024, 03:38:43 AMCadets promoting every 56 days in the minimum not a schedule and it's the squadron commander's call if the cadet is ready for their next promotion. Promotions, cadet or senior are not automatic.

I don't think anyone has argued the Commander HAS to promote in 56 days. However, if they choose not to, the CAPF 60-90 is required. My guess is that this wasn't done, otherwise this Cadet would know the reason for the 3-week, immature back-stabbing.

In THIS case, the Commander has changed the "minimum" to 77 days for no justifiable reason. Childish IMHO.

I know this thread is old but this has IG complaint all over it. And not a Wing complaint...one right up to NHQ!

Lt. Col. Harlan R. Ribnik, M.D.
Cheyenne Composite Squadron
Wyoming Wing

Harlan Ribnik, a beloved doctor in Cheyenne, has passed away at the age of 71. Harlan leaves behind a legacy of compassion, humor, and dedication to his profession.

Throughout his career as a Doctor specializing in pain management at Pain Consultants of the Rockies, Harlan touched the lives of countless individuals in need. His patients remember him not only for his expertise but also for his lightheartedness and ability to bring a smile to their faces even in challenging moments. One patient fondly recalls his witty remark before a colon procedure, "This too will pass!" - exemplifying Harlan's ability to bring levity to any situation.

Harlan's academic accomplishments were vast, earning him respect and admiration in the medical community. From a bachelor's degree in mathematics to a master's degree in computer science and finally a medical degree and a specialty in anesthesiology/pain management, Harlan's thirst for knowledge knew no bounds.

His personality was larger than life - he was known as a walking encyclopedia, well-read, and always ready to join in on the fun. An unabashed gun collector, pilot, photographer, and trivia enthusiast, Harlan had a wide range of interests that kept him constantly engaged with the world around him. His love for his family and country shone through in everything he did. Notably, he adored his dogs and was devoted to them beyond measure.

Beyond his professional and personal pursuits, Harlan dedicated over 20 years of service to the military. Starting in high school with ROTC and later transitioning to the US Army Reserves where he deployed to Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, Harlan's commitment to his country was unwavering.

Harlan is survived by his sisters Susie Ribnik and Dr. Linda Ribnik, brother-in-law Dr. David Demaine, nieces Molly Ribnik, Katy Demaine-Webster and Marina Demaine, daughter Erin Naill, son-in-law Nate Naill, grandsons Lane Naill and Carter Naill. He is also survived by his ex-wife Dr. Georgia Young, stepsons Jason Decker, David Young and Micah Young, daughter-in-law Cindi Decker and grandchildren Brittany and Brianna Decker.

In this time of mourning, let us remember Harlan Ribnik for the incredible individual he was - dedicated healer, loving family man, loyal friend, and true patriot. May his memory live on in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
