CAP Officer Basic Course - Launching announced

[MikeD]

The "Submit by email" button also didn't work for me.   I'm guessing that I'll at best in the Feb class.  Does anyone know why they limited the class size, given that it's online?  Especially with the backlog of people waiting to complete this requirement to make it to Capt?

They have a limited number of licenses for BlackBoard.

By comparing notes with other members, we sort of found out that if you have Adobe Acrobat then the "Submit by email" will work just fine. However, it will not work if you only have Adobe Acrobat Reader. Hopefully the issue will be rectified soon by national.

I heard back last night.  I got in for 15 February.  Ah well,  as long as I get it done so I could be promoted at Wing Conference I'm happy.

How long did it take you to hear back?

If my computer does not have Adobe Acrobat, how do I get it ?

I hit the submit by email button and it brought up a screen to send an email but nothing was in the email section .. just the name of where it will be sent. I hit the send button.  Did this happen with anyone else or did I do something wrong? Forgive my knowledge with this stuff. I am normally ok with computers.

While Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free program, Adobe Acrobat is not. Amazon charges $236.49 for a copy link here

We think there must be a glitch with the NHQ's formatting on the application form. When done correctly, it should be able to work with just the Reader instead of the full program. So far, none of the application bounced for people with Acrobat, but all bounced for people with only the Reader. That's why we are speculating...

I have Acrobat 7 and it does not work with that.

I sent the application in on Wed.

If your already a Capt based on being a Sq Commander, do you still need to take it?

Yes, if you want to be promoted to Major. Level II is an embedded requirement.

Sorry but true - you gotta complete all requirements for both Level II and Level III along with completing the time-in-grade requirement for major.

When the "Submit by email" button didn't work, I cut'n pasted the content into an email with an explanation. I'm in for Feb so I guess that they know about the problem.

I would like to have seen this done as an 'application' in e-Services.  It'd be able to automatically fill in everything except the statement of understanding (nearly one-click enrollment), and would be somewhat software-agnostic.  (Mind you, many things in e-Services indicate they require IE but I've had near 100% success with Firefox).  Oh, well.  We'll go with what we've got.

How did people find out what date they got?  I submitted the form via Acrobat email (I have the full version) as soon as I got the message online (Wednesday).
I don't believe I have seen anything from CAP as to what date I have received....

http://www.humboldt.edu/~jdv1/moodle/all.htm  Moodle looks good, and http://www.linuxbox.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=bb2moodle converts from BB to Moodle.  http://dotlrn.org/ is another good alternative.  (Hopes someone from NHQ IT reads this).

Once you are admitted to a cohort, you will receive an email from Ron Olienyk at NHQ telling you when you will be taking the course.  I know emails have been sent to the January 1 cohort, I'm not sure if they have yet sent emails to those who ended up in later cohorts.

Check your 'Spam' folder and make sure that you don't have an acceptance email mis-filed.

I got the email from Ron today.  April 1st.  Amazed the first two cohorts filled up in the day or two since an announcement.

Looking forward to the course.

I printed, scanned, attached to email. that worked.

Moodle is great ... it just lacks a bit of the flashy commercial stuff that BlackBoard has.

Anyone else have the start date of 15 May 2010 ?
