Uh?  What's going on here?

This is one that likely need to be locked.  Names have been called.

Would you support a decision that went something like this??:
I'm the Wing CC and I think we have too many O-4s and O-5s. Let's not promote any more.

Do you really take a retired O-6 and tell him he's now a 1LT (assuming not a CFI but does have a Commerical ticket) because there are too many majors and LTCs around?

Absolutely not! The first scenario would be an arbitrary decision, the second is disrespectful.

All I'm saying is that all out of the ordinary appointees (former military, mission related and professional) need to show a commitment to CAP in their first months in the program, and particularly that they will contribute their uniques capabilities and experience.

Until and unless that happens (and I'm talking in the firs 90-120 days of membership, not looking for years before promoting!) new personnel remain SMWOG.
