Retention

[afgeo4]

The problem isn't that we don't want to do recruiting campaigns.  The problem is what it's always been.  Big things need big money and well... we have no big money.  Heck, most units don't even have little money.  What it takes is creativity.  Oddly enough, having been a cadet programs officer for a couple of years and being around cadets in one capacity or another for the rest of my short CAP career, I've noticed that cadets have no shortage of that.  Maybe it's time we all sat down with out cadet commanders and gone over the recruiting/retention needs with them and point out that cadets make better recruiters for other cadets than seniors do. 

However, the topic is retention and I now yield to that.
