Umm, old news

See 2008 Summer Board Video, above.

Who was elected the Vice Commander?

Bluelakes 13 · August 07, 2008, 07:27:17 PM

The nominees are still talking...

Eclipse · August 07, 2008, 07:57:06 PM

In a 39 to 24 to 2 vote, Col. Reggie Chitwood, currently National Chief of Staff was elected as National Vice Commander.

Congratulations!

Merged.

So we have a major general select and a brigadier general select. Both Gen. Courter and Col. Chitwood were at the Florida Wing conference earlier this year. They seem like good people. Here's hoping for a bright future for CAP.

Col Chazzel of RMR also ran and got 24 votes to BG (elect) Chitwood's 39. Someone else ran and got the remaining 2 votes.

Chazzel gave a less than inspiring speech

And there was his impending job change and schooling to be considered also.

CAPINSIGHTS is batting a 1000. They have been right every time. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Not that we need to worry about it too much in CAP (really!

), but she is now entitled to two ruffles and flourishes, followed by the General's March. (General Chitwood gets only one R&F and the general's march as a buck general.)

Major Carrales · August 08, 2008, 02:45:06 AM

Congrats to them both!!!

I think they will do great things for CAP.

When does Amy Courter start to get to wear the Maj Gen insignia?

JC004 · August 08, 2008, 02:58:22 AM

w00t!

RiverAux · August 08, 2008, 03:03:42 AM

I think the promotions become official tomorrow.

FW · August 08, 2008, 03:34:51 AM

Maj Gen (Select) Courter gets "pinned" on Saturday evening. Brig Gen (select) Chitwood gets "pinned" directly after.

It's a great new beginning for CAP. I'm looking forward to some real positive change in the next few months.

I think "Maj Gen (Elect)" is more correct than "Maj Gen (Select)"; after all, she was elected, not selected. Come November, the winner of the race for the Presidency will be the President-elect, not the President-select).

Besides, 100% of the eligibles will be promoted, which ain't all that selective!

^Ah, you're soooo right.
