SM vs C/AB - Why the discrepancy?

[RiverAux]

I am saying that the REGULATION governing CAP member grades has a lot more weight than a dinky little PAMPHLET that (sort of) covers customs and courtesies.

Well, I'm not going to be able to make any headway against people who believe that members have a grade even though the applicable regulation clearly says they don't.

Since when has regulations ever reflected reality?

They defacto have grade....even when that grade is SMWOG.

It is stupid.....but it works.
