Cadet Conference Attendance Does Not Count Towards Level III

[Eclipse]

Well,

The issue was brought up at Nat.Boards, and apparently the reg is poorly written. Substitute CAP Senior Members for CAP members, and you get the read folks higher up than I want.

So, does that mean that all promotions based on fraudulent 24's will now be reeled back in and the members down-leveled and demoted?

Heh. I bet you can start with many a Spaatz cadet.

This requirement did not cause any heartburn in the wing until the last few years.

I know of one place where the requirement does cause heart burn....overseas squadrons.

Unless members want to pay real big bucks or they bring their attendance with them.....they are simply SOL until they go back to the states.

We had a get-together at Yokota for the folks from Misawa, Yokota, and Okinawa one weekend that counted as a conference. It was all military transportation, so the cost was basically food and berthing. I do understand that military transportation has much lower availability now.

Well....that's my point all along.
A bunch of CAP members from different units getting together with an informal agenda and talking about CAP things and then having dinner.....if that is a "wing conference" then I attend one of those about every other month at one of the local watering holes in Las Vegas.

With out a definition of "wing conference" it can just be anything anyone says is a "conference".
That is my major beef with this requirement......beyond why we have the requirement in the first place.

Also of note........as we look for loop holes and other inconsistencies.

If my wing hosts a "wing conference" and while there I spend my entire time at the CLC, UCC or TLC course and then attend the dinner.   How is that different then when I attend the wing's CLC, UCC or TLC course that is not in conjunction with the "wing conference"?

If the purpose is to meet people outside of the squadron and network.....is that not satisfied if I travel to a wing level CLC/UCC/TLC event?

If the Wing, Region or NHQ calls it a conference, then so be it!  ..

...and practically anything thats open to interpretation.

Until someone else gets their feathers in a ruffle and says "But I didn't get credit for mine.. so why should you?" and uses their new found authority to block it.

Think it has not happened?
