"Join" not on the CAP website anymore...

[Nomex Maximus]

I just noticed that the JOIN menu item is missing from the www.cap.gov webpage. It used to be that the top menu line had a JOIN icon that you could click and which would take you to a page that would find the nearest units, etc... that page is still there bu there is no way for a new person viewing the webpage to know that it exists.

Wow.....they really are taking that 'best kept secret' thing seriously. :-P

[Dad2-4]

Are they perhaps going to change that function over to the new http://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/html/index.htm website?
I would think they need to keep a link on the main webpage.

[♠SARKID♠]

The page itself is still there.  Had to find it by the jump in node ID
http://www.cap.gov/index.cfm?nodeid=6085&audienceID=4

I wonder why they took it down, or at least didn't redirect it to gocivilairpatrol.com
Perhaps they are trying to have existing members send prospectives to the new site rather than cap.gov

Perhaps, though it'd be nice if they told us.

Maybe we have enough members.

^nah, but I definitely like sending new members to gocivilairpatrol.com better than cap.gov.  I know it has its issues, but it is significantly more sysnct than cap.gov.

Not if you keep killing them!

The people who are victims of my coups aren't being killed, they are just being sent to a place in the middle of nowhere for a while.  They can return after victory is complete.

I've been in the "Ghost Squadron" so long that I believe that I am dead.

I asked to reassignment 2 weeks ago for am open wing staff slot, and nadda from the wing CC or the CV.

I keep hearing use the chain of command....I'm a Friggin Ghost....I don;t have a chain of command.....

Perhaps their strategy is just like mine.

They probably removed it because most of the names collected were sent down to local Wings, (Groups, Squadrons) and not acted on by the unit.

[RiverAux]

Keep in mind that they're re-doing that whole system.  Previously, if you submitted your info via the web, NHQ would mail out a prospective member packet to you and then on a weekly or so basis, NHQ would email out a list of those who requested info.  That email usually went to 1 person per state and I suspect was quite often hung up and not sent to anybody lower down.

What they are switching to is a system that would allow the CAP member (don't know at what level) to view the list of information seekers via e-services rather than waiting for a list. 

Perhaps this incident is part of that system upgrade.

You're the spy from National, aren't you???

No, but I know the names of some of the NHQ people who watch us.  Shhhhh.

CadetProgramGuy - When the Change of Command took place in January, YOU asked to be put in the "Ghost Squadron".  Since then, you've demanded to know why the whole wing wasn't "mobilized" for the floods, so that you could leave work.  The flood taskings come from HSEMD and we didn't have any requests for "ghosts".  Then you wanted to be appointed to Wing Staff.  The readers of this site can probably figure out why you weren't assigned to an important position of trust, but in case you can't figure it out, the Wing Commander made it quite clear that some positions wouldn't be filled, until we had a qualified candidate for the job.

Dude, I think you need to take these issues to PM. They have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

[♠SARKID♠]

Read the rules!

Nothing about your post was within the rules, you may wish to read them yourself.

Back on topic now, do you think that nationals will be changing all their literature over to gocivilairpatrol?  Things like pamphlets and recruiting handouts have always said cap.gov.
