Out of curiosity, I'd like to know what other squadrons are made up of. As of now, my squadron has:

About 15-17 senior members

20-25 cadets consisting of:
About 5 cadets somewhere in the rank of Airman
10-15 or so sergeants
And the rest are officers.

Here at Vanguard, we're fairly top heavy.

So you should be recruiting.........

I've talked to 8 or so people about joining, and only one has been trying to attend. We're going to do a recruiting thing at some point, but right now I'm doing targeted recruitment. No one knows exactly what we do though, which makes getting new cadets difficult. Painfully so.

My squadron is fairly bottom heavy, and has actually been on the decline for a while now. We have 56 cadets on our roster, but only about 40-45 are active in CAP. At one point we had over 100 cadets.

0 Cadets of any kind.

Kind of a surprise. Apparently several of us have been promoted, but I hadn't been notified... As of last month we had 1 2d Lt and 11 SMs. :-) (We're a very new unit).

Try to keep us updated on this, it'd be interesting to see how your unit grows. What's the name of if, by the way?

I'm willing to bet it's right next door to -018...and according to the Ohio Wing listing of units, that's right down the block from Oz.

I thought there was no Cadet/Airman Basic, or C/AB!

The grade is Cadet Airman!

See http://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/stripes_to_diamonds/

By using the word Basic it causes a confusion among members. It is the equivalent of using non-authorized items in our uniforms.

On Monday I saw a report created by a PAO who should have known better using the reference to Cadet Airman Basic in a report to a higher headquarters...

If you want to refer to Cadet Airman Basic, petition to NHQ that this grade/rank be modified!

Майор Хаткевич · May 05, 2016, 01:13:22 PM

What are you on about?

Luis R. Ramos · May 05, 2016, 01:23:10 PM

Sorry for the rant.

Sometimes I see members referring to C/AB or Cadet Airman Basic.

Even NHQ is not consistent in its use. Some publications state "Cadet Airman Basic." Others state "Cadet Airman."

See, for example, the online Member Report. It abbreviates all grades as, for example, "C/A1C [name]."

Those cadets without Curry are posted as "Cadet." It does not state "C/AB" but "Cadet."

Knowledge Base does state "C/AB" but the Cadet Super Chart does not say anything about the cadet with no Curry is to be referred as "C/AB."

See http://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/stripes_to_diamonds/

and

It depends on the context of the use. Cadet Airman Basic (C/AB) is the grade all cadets start at before earning C/Amn. They wear no insignia as specified in CAPM 39-1. In this they use Cadet Airman Basic to specifically refer to C/AB with the exclusion of other cadets. However, in other regulations, they refer to cadet airman as a way to include C/AB to C/SrA. Or they may use it to refer to C/AB to C/CMSgt.

So, Cadet Airman Basic (C/AB) is an appropriate term for all new cadets before completing their Curry Achievement.

The abbreviation C/AB may be found in CAPP 151.

That's what I was getting at.

CAPP 151 clearly shows the "grade".

C/ABs are Airmen and Cadets. All three are appropriate.
