This just in from National: 

"Due to the overwhelming amount of viewers, we are currently increasing our bandwidth.  Please be patient."

They didn't forsee this coming with everything going on this week?

Ok, I think this board is already growing faster than "National Commander Suspened"

My phone is ringing off the hook this morning by people in my Group wanting to know what the devil is going on after the email from Amy sent out last night and the inability to see the video feeds.....

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CAP MEMBERS

FROM: CAP/CV

SUBJECT: Civil Air Patrol's Continuity

It is with regret that I inform you that the Board of Governors has suspended the National Commander, Major General Antonio J. Pineda, pending an investigation. This is standard procedure in situations involving investigations. Let me make this clear, Major General Pineda has NOT been removed and I am only the Acting Commander, because our constitution provides for continuity during times such as this when our Commander is not available.

I am asking each of you to not speculate or discuss this issue internally or externally out of respect for Major General Pineda and CAP.

This year's annual conference theme is "Citizens Serving Communities" and our duty is to serve these citizens and assist them. While we will have some program changes at the conference, it will go on as planned. I look forward to seeing you in person or for those that cannot make it; I hope you will invest the time to watch us on the internet.

I have confidence that each of you will continue to do your job professionally. It is in difficult times like these that a person's true character shows and I know that we have the right people in CAP to accomplish our missions. We are capable, with your service, to carry on in the finest tradition of our organization. Our plans have already been set, and we expect no major changes.

During times such as these, it is easy to overlook safety. We must remember to continue performing the CAP missions in our normal capable, professional and, above all, safe manner.

AMY S. COURTER

Brigadier General, CAP

National Vice Commander

You would think they would learn about having secret meetings.  The last one I remember is when they canned and demoted General Bergman at Bowling's instigation.  Most of you here probably weren't privy to the behind the scenes machinations, but they got severely slam-dunked by the Air Force for that one.  Notice that Bergman is still a Brigadier, and last time I checked he was on the BOG.  Having meetings in secret is usually because you are doing something a little unsavory.

e-mail?

Yes.  E-mail is a wonderful invention by Al Gore that allows you to send messages from your computer to other people on the "Information Super Highway."  But, be warned, Congress wants to charge you a dime for every message you send!

Anyone able to get in yet?

I will be sure to check out this innovation.

I have a great deal of respect for General Coulter and for CAP, but I have known Tony for the twenty years he has been in CAP and I have absolutely ZERO respect for him.  I will now stifle myself, but it is out of my respect for General Courter and CAP.

Maybe they will get the bandwidth and the feed ready by Saturday afternoon. CAP members don't have a need to know what the National Board does anyway.

just wait until the minutes are published next march...

Advocating governance in secret, then?

N.O.T.F. :   "At the CAP's National Board meeting in Atlanta this morning, the board has already gone into a closed session.  Sources say that although the closed meeting is going on, there is "no screaming or hollering" that can be heard, sources say.  Meanwhile, sources say that Pineda has offered to resign quietly if he is allowed to keep his general's stars. "

[Skyray]

I know a lot of you guys don't credit News of the Force, but they have a reporter at the National Boards that reports that they just went into closed session, and so far no screaming and hollering can be heard.
