Isn't one of the objectives of the SDA's is to get you familiar with researching stuff in the regs?

I am aware of this however there is no information anywhere about the question.

Yes, there is. Try CAPR 280-2 (https://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/R280_002_E69E082DA08AA.pdf).

So I had to go back and double check which achievement 13 is.

You have been writing these for several months. You should understand what suspenses are (that was the tricky part for me, initially), and also that the best place to get this information is from your squadron members. Ask the CDC or AEO. An SDA does not simply creep up on you, so there is little urgency at this level.


I know I may seem harsh, like Seniors always come across on CT. However, this has little to do with status and everything to do with you being a presumably experienced and competent cadet officer.

You don't seem harsh, I just never understood the whole suspenses question. The rest of the SDA is never usually a challenge, it just takes time. Its always just that one question that screws me up.

Suspenses can be defined by reading CAPP 52-14, Instructions for Cadets section.

It's in there. I had a hard time finding it myself because it was a foreign term.

You might also check with your Wing, because they also have reports which may specific for reporting to Wing HQ only.
