Silly me, I "attempted" to use logic. That'll learn me! ::)

Logic?  In a reg that has this wonderful writing:

Quote from: CAPR 39-3 28 DECEMBER 2012
SECTION C – CADET PROGRAM AWARDS
14. Cadet Program Awards.
h. Dr. Robert H. Goddard Achievement. Successfully complete the specific requirements
in Phase II listed for this achievement. 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).

So, you can only wear the star on your ribbon for Model Rocketry if you have your Mitchell?  What does Billy Mitchell have to do with Rocketry? 

If I recall correctly, this was the same criteria back when I was a cadet in the late 80s and early 90s. I think it was a way to recognize those cadets who completed both the Model Rocketry program and Phase II. Not much different from getting a gold seal on the Davis Award for completing the Yeager Award prior to Level II.

If you disagree with the award criteria, I recommend you submit a change request.

a) None of us are in YOUR approving chain...so our  opinion means zero.
b) If in doubt ask NHQ that's what KB is for.
c) Who really cares...it is the farting CSR for FSM's sake!

Wait, I am still confused, can I recieve credit for the 120 hours of community service that I performed for the County of Cobb, during and about the time of June 1, 2014 - August 1, 2014, that was verified by State Court Judge Ima Slogg on or about the same date?  I can assure you it was supervised volunteer service...

The way Im reading this (correct me if Im wrong) it was court ordered community service. If that is the case I wouldn't say its volunteer service since it is being ordered and not of your own free will and accord.

Edit: spelling

Not if it was Court Ordered.

If it was Court Ordered Community Service then it does not count.
Matter of fact, depending on the crime, you could find yourself out of CAP for not disclosing it.
