Which system would you prefer to see CAP use to determine rank.  

Current system (Mixture of prof development, advanced grades for certain skills, etc.)
33 (37.5%)
CG Aux system where rank is based upon highest admin position held within org
3 (3.4%)
System where rank is based upon your level in the CAP ES structure
5 (5.7%)
Eliminate all CAP rank and insignia
4 (4.5%)
No preference.  I'll wear anything they tell me too.
2 (2.3%)
Keep mostly same system Flight Officers for all members except give commissioned grades for those currently holding command or higher echelon staff positions
11 (12.5%)
Same as current system except eliminate all advanced ranks for skills & prior service and make it all CAP prof development based
6 (6.8%)
Keep current system except make professional development system much harder therby making it harder and take longer to advance in rank.
24 (27.3%)

We could use "brevet" rank (as was done quite a lot in the Civil War, as well as sometimes in other conflicts), only reverse it:

1) true brevet rank gives a higher grade to match responsibility of position --a captain serving as battalion commander would be brevetted to lt col, but the 'permanent grade' would be captain

2) in our system, when one served in a position 'below earned grade', the individual could be given temporary grade...so, for instance, a cadet squadron deputy commander would be a captain, even if that officer held earned grade as a colonel

3) for ceremonies, social events like banquets, national level activities like the Boards & NSC, permanent grade would be used

I think it's complicated & unnecessary...but it might meet a need that some see.
