Out of curiosity, I'd like to know what other squadrons are made up of. As of now, my squadron has:

About 15-17 senior members

20-25 cadets consisting of:
About 5 cadets somewhere in the rank of Airman
10-15 or so sergeants
And the rest are officers.

Here at Vanguard, we're fairly top heavy.

So out of 25 cadets, only about 5 are cadet officers?  I wouldn't call that top heavy.  But I would say that is about what my Sq was when I was the CC.  Its all a up and down.  Cadets seem to join in batches.  One cadet joins, several get recruited along with that cadet and they progress through roughly the same pace.

So you should be recruiting.........

Ranks are fairly evenly spread out amongst all.

It seems like a lot of work to keep track of everyone's rank. Isn't it enough just to know their grade?

Extra sharp won't be as rank as others.

We have no general officers on our books.  Six or seven field grades, a dozen company grade officers, and a bunch of cadets, that's all.

(Plus, some of us are very rank indeed after a weekend in the woods).  :o

PS, Come to think of it, we do have one former GA045 cadet who is now a general officer - http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/Biographies/Display/tabid/225/Article/108506/lieutenant-general-lee-k-levy-ii.aspx

I wonder (possibly a different thread): what is the most successful former cadet, and the most infamous former cadet, we know of? The criteria might not be by grade, or by worldly achievement (i.e. astronaut, General, Admiral, or President, but by a more holistic view of success).

I might be starting a new thread here, hmmm.

Oh, there's one far worse, who has been discussed ad nauseum. I suggest that we shut this part off right here.

I've met her, she's currently a head of the Joining Forces initiative at the White House, working directly for FLOTUS.

She's a really great person, and loves to hear all about the Civil Air Patrol.
