 CAP-USAF is moving from Air University to AETC??  I wonder why.  Will that be more beneficial?

Cleans up the chain of command by eliminating a whole layer.

Very surprised that no one mentioned limited internet access either. 

Putting this sort of mandatory requirement on cadets would also be something challenging as you suggest.

How do you mandate something to volunteers? Quarterly online safety briefs? CAP will become an exclusive organization if this sort of stuff continues.

[RiverAux]

Mandating that it be done is easy.  Actually getting it done is hard.

Wing Financial Analysts to do Logistics Audits -- I guess they will randomly pick units within the wings and than go visit.  Question came up on pre notifications versus no notification.

Hmm, the last time we had an audit that looked at everything including comm inventories, was an NCO from the CAP-USAF region headquarters that was preannounced.

I wonder how they are going to get around not paying the wing financial analysts overtime pay for doing these logistics audits? (most units meet at nights or weekends not during the normal work day).  Looks to me like again this is going to be more cost to CAP and ultimately the taxpayers in an economy which requires everyone to look at ways to save money.

Perhaps the various Region & Wing IG "volunteer" staff's could perform some of these type of "internal control audits/inspections?

WFA's check a sample of inventory supplies at Wing HQ.  Eventually they will be "sampling" inventories of selected units in the wing.  Inventory control is our responsibility however, it is CAP-USAF's responsibility to audit  our inventory and real property. 
The goal is to be as good with our "equipment" as with our money.

WFA's are on salary.   The inventory sampling does not take much extra time.  There is no extra costs to CAP incurred from this process.

IF this works as well as the Wing Banker Program, we will be saving the taxpayers money.   CAP-USAF won't need to worry about extra logistics personnel.

^ We should get rid of Wing Administrators....let the WFA's do it all.  That would save taxpayer dollars!
