Sorry, I guess it was too much to ask to think that CAP could have a nice simple query that would show all the units in a state (like we had for years).  My mistake to think CAP's technological capabilities had advanced beyond about 1995.   

Well, here's the thing...when we advanced to contracting with this company for the unit locator, we eventually lost that list of all charter numbers, unit names, and locations.  I want it back, personally.

How come you're listed as a Senior Member and not a Major, huh?

Guess who

You mean this?
And where are the web page addresses associated with these squadrons that we had with the old unit finder?

They can be found here.  Just enter either a zip code or city and state.  Not all units have a webpage, however.   

It does seem odd that the unit directory (different than the unit finder) would not list webpages for units that have them.

My point is that you shouldn't have to use multipe sites and documents to get information we used to have easy access to and that we could have again with a few simple programming changes. 

JC, all that information is in the CAPWATCH database now so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to meld it together.

No.  I meant the lists of all units (HTML) that were once on there.  It disappeared a while ago.  They made it easy for my purposes, especially to have the charter numbers all in front of me.  Probably better off with what we have now for external purposes, but internally, we made a lot of use of the other.
