I noticed one thing, but has anyone else?

Nope.  I just looked and nothing seems different, but then there's a lot of trash stuff on there.

I saw that when it came out and have a hard time figuring out why it is needed.  How many people are going to opt out of getting the magazine?

If it said:  Save X amount on annual dues by opting out of receiving the Volunteer by mail, and instead view it online.  Maybe.

hmmm... how would we propose this to the chain of command?  I am all about keeping my costs down.

Some reason when it turned Jan 1st, I saw the Cadet Protection link on the left.  I turn 18 in 2008, but I'm not 18 yet.

Are you within the "cadets must complete CPPT within 6
months following their 18th birthday or if a promotion is due during that 6-month period"
window?

On the Utilities side or Restricted side?

I have two sons who are members so when the magazine comes we get three.  We end up tossing two of them.  I know, we could leave the others in a public place but it would be nice to save a little money or have less waste.

I imagine that there are some cases out there like yours and I suppose it is probably more efficient to solicit changes in this way rather than having people call in, but compared to other eservices issues that need work I'm surprised that this one was addressed.

This one directly affects the budget....  It all comes down to saving dimes first, then correcting issues. 

But, if they were smart they would make it more attractive to opt out of the hard copy and give us a break, and send them out via email if requested.

Well, the magazine has been on the web for several years...

I cancelled my magazine subscription.
Yeah I don't get a break on my dues, but it one less copy for them to print. So I'm probably saving $0.10.

Changes like this are noted regularly on the RSS feed.

On member Search, pull up an individual senior member.  The LS code will be listed after the unit information.   "LS" stands for Leadership Status.  If you go to capwatch and pull up a squadron roster report you will see that only seniors have a LS code.  Usually this will be "A".  I'm not sure what the "A" stands for.  I would guess "Active", as in an active member.
