official "I'm here!" thread.

[RMW14]

After what amounts as a 9 year hiatus from CAP, I rejoined the Williamsport Composite Squadron to occupy what little time I have away from school and work. I started CAP at the Reading Composite Squadron 811 in 1995, transferred to the Lebanon VFW Squadron 307 in 1999 and left CAP in 2004. While I was a cadet I attended Encampment (96), Hawk Mountain Ranger school (basic in 97 and Mike Sq. in 98), CLS(97), OTS (98) and I was on staff at OTS in 99.

I joined the board to learn some of the things that the manuals and regs seem leave vague and maybe offer some input as a former cadet/outsider/senior member. I have seen a few people I know (sigs at the bottom of posts) but much more of it seems to be new.

If anyone has any questions of me or knows me from my time as a cadet, please feel free to contact me!

I'm new to the forums and just wanted to say hi from Ohio... good to be back in CAP as a senior member now! I hope I can learn a lot and find plenty to talk about here.

Hello CAPTalk users! I've been a cadet in CAP for a few years now & just recently found out about CAPTalk. I run a blog, officersshoes.blogspot.com, that is designed to help new officers find a footing in CAP. I give tips on how to make their cadet life easier, answer questions that I had a hard time finding the answers to, and just do what I can to help them out. I was the first cadet in my squadron to earn my Billy Mitchell award so there were no higher-ups on the cadet side that I could go to for information about what my next steps were to be. Thankfully I had been to several NCSAs and had met some really cool cadet officers that were able to help me out. I realized that there had to be other cadets out there that are in that place, so I started Officers Shoes to do what I could. Check the blog out & let me know what you think!

Just leaving a note to say I'm back active with CAP. I was inactive for about a year or so.. but I moved to Missouri, so I transferred to the squadron in Hannibal.

Just want to confirm to all I have signed up. Hope I have put enough into my profile to make my CAP membership apparent. Been a member since Sept 2010 and a CAP Pilot since Dec 2010. I have had a good time so far. Looking forward to exploring this site and perhaps asking for help/insights  on some issues that have come up.

Might as well make myself known. I was a cadet from 2002-2008 in Arizona wing. Turned 21 and senior member in 2008, but haven't been active at all since. I'm thinking of becoming a little more active now (as long as I can keep it "hobby" not a job) and came here to update myself on things that may have changed in the last couple years. I recognize a lot of names here, and I hope you are all doing well.

Thank you Mr Fischer. I knew a lot of good cadets from your unit when I was a cadet. I hope you are doing well up there.

Mr. Hurley,

We are doing very well. What squadron are you from?

Mr. Hurley,

We are doing very well. What squadron are you from?

I started out at 205 in Sedona, then helped create 212 in Cottonwood back in 2005. That's where I finished my days as a cadet. Now I live in Tucson, and am interested in joining 105 on DMAFB.

Cool! I am currently in Prescott, maybe I'll see you at later wing activities!

Roger Hunt from the TN-133 Sr. Sq. Joined the first of the year (2012). William Hartmann is a retired COL from Big Bear, CA and is a good friend of mine. He peaked my interest in CAP. I am currently awaiting a special issuance 3rd Class Medical from the FAA for Diabetes. I received my pilot's license in 1982 while serving in the U.S. Air Force at Travis AFB, CA. I received my pilots' license on July 20th, the anniversary of the Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.

We have a very special person in our squadron. His father was one of the original Tuskugee Airman.
