NCSA slottings are posted in eservices... So if you applied, you should know!

[Silent Panther]

I did not know that.  Still, he is an officer now, and that probably will not change.  It still does not change the fact that he is awesome 

-Rogovin

Wait.. that means he is no longer Darth Sergeant! This is not good. How will NBB go on without it's resident Jedi?

Darth is used for Sith lords. Not jedi.

Jedi titles are Jedi Master, Jedi Knight, Jedi Padawan, and Jedi Initiate (also known as "jedi Youngling")

Jedi can also specialize in specific things, catagories include, Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, Jedi Sentinel. (there are sub-types below all of those)

There were also times were the Jedi would assume military ranks, Jedi General, Senior Jedi General, High Jedi General, Jedi Commander, and Jedi lord.

Any of those you could select for the member in question

He is now known as his "high royal highness".... and "Sgt-captain" and when he gets promoted he will be "sgt-major" 

[Spartan]

Does this mean that Darth Sgt has been promoted to sith lord?  If so, does the protocol require bowing?

[Eclipse]

By the way Capt. (Sergeant) Kemp did not become a captain so he could be a "section Chief."  He did this so he could become a squadron commander in Iowa.

Neither position requires any specific grade.

I was thinking the same thing.

I really don't think Capt. Kemp is a Sith. I must say I am impressed with your knowledge of Jedi Rank.

Every time I think of NBB, I still think of everytime then-Sgt. Kemp "informed" us that he was not a "sir". I don't think I can go back to NBB now. Making the switch will just be too hard.

Just like being a squadron commander doesn't require a pilot rating. And yet around here...

Without knowing the gentleman in question, I would merely assume that he took the promotion for the pay raise. After all, we are in a recession and money is tight all over.

You have a lot of free time, don't you?

Oh, you noticed? You should listen to my evil plots...

I love screwing with people. I have hundreds of evil ways to confuse people...

[MSG Mac]

There will be a RCLS at the Tri-Wing Encampment (MD-DE-NatCap) 7/7-14

[Supply SGT]

Did you apply already? Applications are closed. You never answered. If not, it's a moot point. There are a number of factors that weigh in, your window of opportunity coming up to the end is one of them. But if you've not done encampment, and didn't indicate an encampment date that you are enrolled in prior to the activity... you probably don't stand a chance. OTOH, no news is good news .. so far, if you actually applied and have not gotten rejected outright so far.

No i did not apply yet, which basically means i missed it by a long shot. I will continue to look into other NCSA's. But thank you all for your help and answers.

When should I start applying for 2013 NBB?

[SarDragon]

When should I start applying for 2013 NBB?

When it's announced by NHQ. That usually happens in September or October, with a deadline in January or February. If anyone has a more definite time frame, feel free to correct my SWAG.

[NCRblues]

When should I start applying for 2013 NBB?

NCSA applications open up on Dec 1st.

Thank you

I really would like to go to NBB, but Minnesota Encampment is at the same time, so im trying to find another state's encampment to attend, any suggestions? I'm thinking of Illinois, also, any tips for NBB?

Yes.. Make sure you do your home work on what E.S. ratings that they want you to have, if you have FLT line marshalling, that really helps... When you get to NBB, talk to any one of the cadets/seniors who have been there before.. they can really help you.  You will literally eat, sleep and live CAP for two weeks.. Make sure you know how dedicated and motivated you really are... Be sure you really want to be there. and lastly..  HAVE FUN.. I was a TACO of Foxtrot flt in 2008.. I had a blast. If you like LOVE airplanes, you will enjoy this.  Make sure you have a decent camera too.. :-D

Good Luck
