every unit staff member has their own collection of regs, forms and cheatsheets he/she likes to have handy.
What's your collection of stuff you bring to your unit meetings?
back when I was Cadet Commander and Advisor, I brought all 3 volumes of the leadership manuals, the NCO & Officer aerospace books, 39-1, 52-16, 900-2, encampment manual, and a couple unit forms. Of course, being the top cadet, I could just leave everything in the office, and usually only carried around the schedule unless I was teaching a class. ;D
My trusty binder is better known by the name "iBook" and it carries in a very small profile a full assortment of all of CAP's regs, manuals, pamphlets, forms, and of course plenty of squadron documents, and anything else I could possibly want.
I've used it to teach a class and I've used it to look up reg cites on the fly in the middle of a meeting; it's quite handy! ;D
When I was Stan/Eval NCOIC at encampment, you would never catch me without my "white book" (what the rest of the staff affecionately called it). It was a white three-ring binder with CAPR 900-2, CAPM 39-1, CAPR 52-16, and AFMAN 36-2203. 8)
In the trunk of my car I keep a plastic milk crate that contains CAPR 67-1, 77-1, and 87-1 along with associated MER and Wing Supplements as well as forms. This is for when I am in my VAWG/LG role.
In my capacity as Assistant Director of Safety for MER I keep the necessary CAP Regulations, supplements, and forms in a flight case.
But...since I got a new laptop everything important for either position has been downloaded to a rewriteable disk and anything that I need is pulled up on the national website.
Technology is always great but I am always mindful that harddrives crash, batteries die, and internet connections can be lost.
-CC ;D
ROE 5.4, Leadership (new edition), Aerospace Modules, and all of my Color Guard Tests that i made. I also have tons of MBTI forms. That's about it. I also carry a flash drive with the squadron inventory and all of the other regs.
All of my stuff is in my head. I've read and re-read a _lot_ of regs and the like.

Same here, but you can't show somebody how they're wrong unless you've got a hard copy of the needed reg right there. At encampment, if I ever corrected anybody's uniform,
most of the time they'd believe me, but when somebody argued that they were right, I'd just open the binder and show them.
I thought you could aggressively force the knowledge held within the binder into their head using the blunt end of the binder.

I got one of those binders. Only I named mine "Teknote". :-D
