I'm a 107 holder. I'm one of those in limbo with a rating that isn't official. I'm excited about where CAP is headed with sUAS. But, for the love of all that is holy, please shutter this section until things are official.
No deference to etodd, he's been quite the enthusiastic cheerleader (often annoyingly so), but until NHQ officially publishes it's final guidelines the detractors (Eclipse, et. al. [but mostly Eclipse]) are going to do nothing but sow discord and inflame the ire of those of us working in this subset particular of CAP (looking at you etodd). This section will have a place once the rollout is complete and NHQ has published what we're working from, and once that is in place this section should be re-opened FRESH.
Please shutter it. Reddit exists for these types of things.
The official words from Headquarters. Please watch and then decide if its official or not.:

Only CAP could put up a slide for a mission that requires a single laptop and a drone which
contains 4 pallet-sized containers, comments that they fit on 17s and 130s (like that would ever
happen), and then punctuate the plan with "The NOC will coordinate transport and lodging".
This is so ARCHER is no longer funny.

Wow. You've been doing this same thing for many years. LOL

You are showing your ignorance of what is happening. There are real resources being directed our way as our missions change. Our Squadron / Group / and Wing, as dysfunctional as we sometimes feel, are embracing this. The "old days" are gone. If us Old Guys (and I am one) want to play, we have to embrace the change.

Please, no. This is too important.

This, can wait. It can wait until it's official and people like Eclipse can't so smuggly continue to goad etodd.
Shut it down.

It is official. NHQ has an operational plan, our Wing / Group / Squadron are on board. Your conflict with another poster notwithstanding, this program already has over 1200 Form 5 Mission Pilots engaged. CAP is the nations largest sUAS organization. Let your tic with Eclipse fade away and let us all continue to use Captalk as it has been. A great place for information, with an occasional snark-fest.
That'll do..
