Title: membership card????
Post by: usafcap1 on August 06, 2012, 08:27:58 PM
I become a senior member Jan 29, 2013. My cadet membership is due Dec 17, 2012. I will then receive my new membership card, but it will say CADET at the bottom. When I cross over to SM will I get a new card or will I have to keep the other card that says cadet?

If you submit your CAPF 12 with fingerprint card, you should get a new membership card.

Lucky you. You will get nearly a full year as a senior member on your cadet dues.

Only $3? The smallest difference I see is $17.

Just curious, but will that be your 21st birthday or are you moving to the senior ranks early at 18?  I know some cadets make the jump at 18 so they can be one of the big boys while others stay as a cadet as long as possible to achieve more awards.  Which is the case with you and what motivates you?  As stated, I am just curious and whatever your reasons are, they are fine.  I am not asking for any judgmental oriented reasons or to stir a debate.

Vandy that was a good question. I had Cadets in the past that went SM at 18 to be a cool "Flight Officer". Of course you can get more bling bling as a 20 1/2 Cadet.

But you still get treated with kid gloves.

I know of an 18 year old heading to college that's staying a cadet so he can date another 18 year old cadet at the same college. If one goes SM, the other will.  ;)

Yes on my 21st birthday. Are you asking what motivates me to get to that point of SM? I want to do Counterdrug, Homeland Security, and Humanitarian missions. And what not.

Of course he could always submit a 2B and do it that way as well...

Presuming that your profile correctly states your location as Washington Wing, the Cadet dues fir the current year are $33, and the new SM dues are $75. SM renewals are $65. That's straight from the NHQ site.

Thanks for that note I'll just recheck with him. Maybe I heard wrong.

Three dollars, thirty dollars. It's all the same sounding, eh?
