2016 National Conference and BOG meeting

[etodd]

Ned, I think he's angling for something juicier.

Your BDU shirt made the 75th anniversary video?  Juicy enough?

Best.decision.i.ever.made.

Is the video posted anywhere?

Right here:

"This video is private. Sorry about that."

It's administrative timing.  Plus, nobody knows who exactly owns the rights to that particular piece.

You want to produce a video and use royalty free,  go ahead. It's a good thing.

The video people had a specific creative need.   The guy who did this,  Scott Matthews,  had a different idea.

He's got an Emmy. I trust his judgement

What I saw before it was taken down, which was listed as "Second draft", looked well done,
but IMHO, had far too much slo-mo and appeared to have been primarily footage from 2-3
activities (same cadets, same guidons, same facility, same hats stuck in the dryer door).

There were a couple cuts from what looked like very old stock CAP footage that may have just been
fillers because they didn't really have any context that helped the narrative.

As to the music, I'd like to think what I heard was actually placeholder music as it was just the same
slowed-down brass piece over and over.

(Aren't you supposed to be running breakouts or something?)

I just want to see my BDU blouse. :/

It got a very nice closeup.

So, the COO is gone, and now I've heard the CFO, Susan Easter, resigned. What is going on at the conference?  Nashville must be a hopping place...

I called NHQ and was told that Susan Easter is still there, no resignation.

Yes, she is still there, however she put in her notice 3 weeks ago.  I have not asked her when her last day will be.

I once again saw the MER Commander and his Vice wearing the Maryland National Guard Distinguished service Cross around their necks. I guess Full Colonels are exempt from CAPM 39-1 and CAPR 39-3. I asked the MER/CC and he said "The National Commander approved the wear" Seriously feel that there is a lack of integrity there. Plus a violation of the oath they take to follow and enforce the regulations of CAP.

Before you ask, I have brought this matter up to the MER Commander and got the reply cited above.

So, whose signature is on the above-mentioned regulations?

Is it so hard to believe that these two folks requested and received a waiver of CAPM 39-1 and CAPR 39-3 for this particular item?  If so, then they are entirely fine wearing it, and in full compliance with regulations, as the issuing authority has inherent authority to grant waivers.

This is akin to former NAT CC's and staff who would literally hand out Comm Comms to cadets for helping at conferences,
then the cadets came home wearing them with CCs being "um what?"

So that is what that garish thing was hanging around his neck!

Not the CAP-USAF Commander or the Headquarters USAF:

1.1.2.2.  The Commander, CAP-USAF, with the approval of Headquarters USAF, prescribes
the wear of the USAF-style uniforms, as well as the insignia, badges, and devices worn on these
uniforms. 

So no, the issuing authority of CAPM 39-1 and CAPR 39-3 is not the authority to grant waivers to the USAF-style uniform.


Not saying they do not have a waiver, just correcting your statement. 

[MSG Mac]

CAPM follows the USAF regulation that only "FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED" awards may be worn. NAtional Guard awards are specifically forbidden from wear on the USAF and CAP uniforms.
