What Region are you from?

[Extremepredjudice]

I was just wondering which region had the most users on captalk.

Soooo, vote!

[Ed Bos]

By from did you mean where you live, or where your CAP membership is assigned?
I live in AK, but I'm assigned to NHQ-007...

[RogueLeader]

I've been in 4, but only allowed 1.

Whatever unit you are attending meetings of.

Really it is your discretion.

Looks to me like the boys (and girls) of NER are in the lead on membership. Mostly I belive because we all like to beat the ABU topic to death...
Like how I worked that in ?

I've been a member of SER, MER, SWR, CAP Overseas and now currently in PCR, though currently stationed overseas in Kwajalein, Marshall Islands.

I swear to God I'm gonna pistol-whip the next guy who asks me to start an overseas squadron in Kwajalein!    (Read CAPR 35-4 first and you'll see why...)

Hey, Chuck, why haven't you started a unit on Kwaj, yet? 'Bout time you stopped draggin' your feet, isn't it?

In case that's a serious question, and not just poking fun at him...

He can't.  The only squadrons allowed overseas are cadet squadrons on US Air Force bases (35-4, A.3).  Kwaj is Army (USAKA = US Army Kwajalein Atoll). 

[SarDragon]

The  smilies were a sure sign that I was poking fun. Having been an OS unit CC, I am all too familiar with the provisions of CAPR 35-4.

Now I'm waitin' for the pistol whippin' to commence.  :angel:

Dave.... You must remember Chuck grew up as a Cadet in Florida Wing where CAP Regulations are suggestions not mandatory

[lordmonar]

PCR has taken the lead!

My meetings are once a year for 2 weeks. In Indiana. I'm not taking any blame credit for what goes on in that wing or region.

I've always wondered why there would be more than one person assigned to NHQ-007 in the first place. Why are people permanently assigned there when it's not substantially different in organization from an encampment for example?

If 1, why not more than 1?

For me, I asked to be transferred there to allow me to focus on the CAP mission I choose to focus on: ES, and more specifically GSAR.

I work with a GSAR "council" (for lack of a more appropriate term) that we call the Anchorage Bowl GSAR Group, and do some things with local units, but my current focus is on refining my course lessons and maintaining my skills to be the best schoolhouse instructor I can be.

I know why the Academy Director is assigned to NHQ-007: he and some other folks work on improving the facilities year-round. But I can't really speak for why other folks have chosen to be assigned there.

As far as the comparison to an encampment goes, I think it's fair to compare the two activities, but I also think they're substantively & substantially different.

No doubt NESA and encampment are different. The similarities are the interesting part though. They are both once a year activities that take pretty much year round work to run. I just don't see why it needs it's own charter and permanent membership when pretty much nothing else does. I know that some INWG members help with the facilities so being a charter member is not a requirement for year round access. I guess it doesn't really matter it's just weird.
