The Board of Governors suspended him at a special meeting called to review a report of investigation that they were provided with. (I assume by the IG.) He is suspended for up to 180 days while the Board determines what action to take. That's all the info I have. This was sent out by NHQ this morning.

How and to who did they send this out?

Official press release on CAP news online: U.S.Civil Air Patrol's Board of Governors suspends CAP national commander

Fixed link. There is already a thread for this - MIKE

Has anyone else seen any announcements about this one being on the internet? I'm almost willing to take off work to watch...

MIKE · August 07, 2007, 09:43:28 PM

I haven't, but we will likely do another play by play if there is one... Provided it doesn't get started too early in the AM.

Mike -- see my post about the proposed "walkout" of members of the NB by those put into place by Gen. Pineda. (You'll note the citation for it too, but don't smack me around too much.)

Any volunteers to watch the video stream and post a play-by-play? I did it last time, but don't think I can take that much time out of my work-day this time around.

MIKE · August 07, 2007, 11:41:04 PM

I can probably get most of it.

I can try to do Thursday, but I've had problems before with the stream

I hope they have a good sound system so we don't miss out on the good stuff. Sound in the past has been kinda crappy as many of you know.

Every time I try I can't get it. My system at the office I think has a block or something for streams.

RiverAux · August 08, 2007, 02:43:07 AM

My question was are we even sure there will be a video stream this time? The last 3-4 meetings there have been announcements to the entire membership saying that the stream was going to take place. Nothing this time that I'm aware of..

If this keeps up, the stream is gonna be on CNN and not on the web since CNN is right in downtown Atl.

Well, whomever starts watching first, please create a new "August National Boards Play-by-Play" thread and post your observations from the stream there. I appreciate everybody's willingness to watch the stream and keep the rest of us abreast of the happenings at this historic event.

If you find yourself watching the stream, please by all means, post what you see on CAPTalk, even if some of it is being duplicated by other posters.

MIKE · August 08, 2007, 03:31:47 AM

Does the actual meeting start tomorrow or Thursday?

I'll do what I can, if it'll stream for me. Thanks for encouraging these because it sometimes it takes a good while for the NB word to get to the field. These videos have helped.

Thursday. Schedule on NHQ web site.

arajca · August 08, 2007, 03:33:12 AM

The NB starts Thursday. If someone can watch it, the Comm Managers' meeting is tomorrow 0800-1700 EDT.

If everybody we know watches and as many CAPTalk members post their blow-by-blow accounts, even if they overlap, we'll be great. That would be the ideal situation. I hope everyone will consider posting what they see on the stream.
