Composite Squadrons that have a Divided Senior & Cadet Program

"I was held back from the Curry achievement for 8 months due to discrimination."

Pardon me while I silence all the alarms on my B.S. meter.....I think there is  smoke coming out of it... You of course filed a complaint through the appropriate CAP channels?

No, I did not sir.  I just simply packed my bags and transferred to the next nearest unit.  Looking back, I wish I had filed a complaint (though it's tough to say if it would have gone through or not).

And how would the discrimination against me be classified as B.S.?

Don't jump on Capt. Lord's case... unfortunately way too many cadets these days will put up some kind of an excuse on why they didn't promote and not file a complaint. Naturally, some will take the above as Bravo Sierra whinery unless there's a good explanation - and to me, you explained yourself why in your post above.

Doesn't it seem unlikely that a cadet who has not yet qualified for the Curry would have the least idea how to go about filing a complaint?

The cadet's parents would, perhaps, if they got that involved.

Not to be disrespectful sir, but where in my post does it look like I am jumping on Capt Lord's case?  All I did was answer his question, and ask one of my own.

You'd be surprised.  I didn't file a complaint, since I was only 12 at the time (and didn't know much about CAP, let alone how to file a complaint) and although I had a parent who did get involved, she was alienated by the squadron to the point where filing a complaint would have done no good.

Agreed, I was trying to say it was a bit much to expect you to know the IG process @ 12!

Oh, okay.  Sorry about that.  Minor detail.
