Highest Ranking member of CAP

[SAR-EMT1]

This is simple:  what is the highest rank at your unit? Capt? Lt Col? Col? BG?
This question applies to both SMs and Cadets (where appropriate)

Second question: For those of you with RM members (AD/NG/Res/Retired etc)
what is the highest rank there? Any E-8s or E-9s? Any O-6's or above?

I know CAP has had some RM Flag Officers. Are any currently on the books / active (In CAP)?


------
For my own unit: We have several former NCOs the highest being a retired CSM (Army E-9 at HQ) 

The highest CAP member "on the books" is a Lt Col (never seen in my 6-years, in fact the dues checks come in from another state)
The highest "active"  Seniors are Captains
Highest cadet: C/ SMS

[Stonewall]

Highest CAP rank:  Lt Col  (we have several)
Highest Military rank:  Col (our CC is an AF RES Group Commander)
Highest Cadet Rank:  C/1st Lt

Though we have several 2 stars in NC that are CAP Maj's.. Tlak about a reduction in pay..

[Tim Medeiros]

Present Unit
Highest CAP SM: Col (I think theres a few, haven't checked in a while)
Highest RM: unsure honestly
No cadets

Immediate past unit (FL153, Headquarters Group
Highest CAP SM: Lt Col
Highest RM: again, unsure, everyone did their job and didn't really mention RM rank either present or prior
Highest Cadet: C/Col (first one in that unit, and first in the entire group since 2004 or so, second overall in the group), though that changed when he turned SM about a week before my transfer, highest cadet in the group then was C/Maj

That's a trick question.  When I think of people "in my squadron" I don't pay attention to who is on the roster, but who is at the meetings.

So, here's my breakdown both ways:

On the roster:
Highest CAP Grade: 2 X Col
Highest RM Grade: I THINK one of those CAP Cols was an AF 0-5 or 0-6, we have a Ret. E-7 and some other prior service E-4s but nothing fancy...
Highest Cadet Grade: C/Lt Col

Entire breakdown on roster:

Col = 2
Lt Col = 2
Maj = 5
Capt = 7
1st Lt = 3
2d Lt = 5
SM = 15

C/Lt Col = 2
C/1st Lt = 1
C/2d Lt = 2
C/SMSgt = 1
C/MSgt = 2
C/SSgt = 1
C/SrA = 2
C/A1C = 6
C/Amn = 18
C/AB = 3

Real Attendance (the almost every meeting crowd)

Col = 0
Lt Col = 1
Maj = 1
Capt = 4
1st Lt = 0
2d Lt = 3
SM = 10

C/Lt Col = 0
C/1st Lt = 0
C/2d Lt = 1-2
C/SMSgt = 0-1
C/MSgt = 2
C/SSgt = 0-1
C/SrA = 1
C/A1C = 3
C/Amn = 18
C/AB = 3
