New CAP Photo ID

[arajca]

Where did you get the minutes? The only thing posted is the agenda for the meeting.

But the latest design in shown. Unless they changed it again.

[abysmal]

Got it from the Aug 2005 NB minutes. 

Are the minutes published and available now?

[Mac]

i was told about the new design while at NBB, and it is listed in the Aug 05 agenda. as we all know the minutes will be posted in about 4 months, as usual.

[Major_Chuck]

No, they'll beat the 4 month window this time.  I predict Three Months, 31 Days, 23 hours, and 55 seconds.

Care to make a wager???   

[Major_Chuck]

Tempting offer that wager.  The only thing I'll place Pylon's CAP paycheck on is that the minutes will be out sooner than the next CAPM 39-1.

Wait... why my CAP paycheck?       You're a Major, you make at least 25% more than I do.

No, no, no. Every promotion increases your pay by a factor of 10, thus adding another zero on the right end (no decimal point).

2Lt = $0
1 Lt = $00
Capt = $000
Maj = $0000
and so on...

It was my understanding that CAP provided a higher COLA in New York State then they do here in the South.

What, Coke instead of Pepsi? Or maybe Royal Crown?

[Pylon]

This Just In!

The ID card that CAP has been planning on and working on since it was approved by the NEC has been fully shot-down now by USAF.  Below is an excerpt from the full letter that was sent to NHQ from USAF:



CAP was prompted to come up with a new design.  So, they swiped Tedd Agnelo's stylized version of the CAP Command Shield (without asking), and drafted up this library card version instead:



There has been considerable discussion on CAPBlog and Civil Airman regarding these with many members being fairly vocal about the new, new proposed design.

[BlueLakes1]

I'm pretty sure that the NB axed this design as well.

[Pylon]

I'm pretty sure that the NB axed this design as well.

*PHEW*

That was the sound of a resounding sigh of relief.     

I wonder what proposal will be next? 

Perhaps they could come up with a handful of designs and run a polling of the general membership as well as the USAF and CAP powers that be.  See what the various feelings are amongst the different groups for the designs and go from there.  At least that way everybody would have had their input.

Well, for what it's worth, I sent a more contemporary version of the MAJCOM up the chain, and was informed by SER CC Col Sharkey today that he forwarded it to an NHQ staffer.

It's not a total card redesign, but hey, if they'd like to use my stuff, it might as well be my best stuff.

You're so gracious to NHQ!

Who knows, maybe you'll be the designer of the ID card that thousands of CAP members will be carrying in their wallets for umpteen years.

I sat in on the VAWG commanders briefing of the National Boards this evening.  Apparently whoever CAP had working the ID Card project was talking to the wrong people at the Pentagon. 

Back to square one.  National is looking at resubmitting a card design and in the meantime they may revamp our 'membership' card to provide a photo on it. 

Short term we may have a new Membership Card with photo and basic information or long term (1 1/2 years to two years) an I.D. Card.

to keep things a little easier, I split the topic about us designing a mockup for the CAP Photo ID into it's own thread -> http://captalk.net/index.php?topic=397.0

Isn't a membeship card with photo and basic information, in it's own right, an I.D. card?  What more would a basic ID card have that wouldn't be on a membership card + photo + info?

Hell, I am going to just make my own styled after the cadic.
