Unit locations

[kcebnaes]

I'd like to get to know more about the day to day functions of CAP. So today, my question is: if not on a military installation, or an airport of some sort, where does your unit hold meetings?

My squadron hosts out of an airport, even though we aren't a flying squadron. We use the airport's community/meeting room which we share with the airport. Holding our meetings on Sunday evenings, we don't get in the way of pilot ground school. Technically, our squadron would be able to operate as-usual anywhere other than an airport, but it makes for some easier links to aviation activities.

The neighboring squadron meets at the local Community Center, not anywhere near an airport or military facility (i.e., armory).

Note:
I see you're out of Bowling Green. Medina/Lorain here.

We meet in a building on the Greater Binghamton Health Center Campus...

[Capt Thompson]

My former Squadron met at the local Senior Center, then at an abandoned High School, and for a while in a room at the local Police station. I've seen other units meet at a local VFW or American Legion. Middle Schools, High Schools and Community Colleges and Churches are also popular.

We hold our meetings at a church.

We have our own building near the airport.

As a cadet and as a SM, I've been lucky in that both squadrons that I've belonged to have been on airfields and both have aircraft. I would like to visit some non-airfield CAP squadrons in the future.

We meet in the  USAFA

We meet in our own hangar at the airport. Back when I was stationed in MT, the Cadets met in several different buildings on and around base and the Seniors had a hangar up at the airport.

My current command: basement of an RC church. Not sure they realize how many Protestant, Jewish and Muslim cadets we have there on WED nights.

My previous command: stored our shared hangar on base with the Flying Club, right next to the nuclear alert aircraft ("Cadets, do not talk to or wave at those men with rifles, they are not selected for their humor or tolerance").

My first command: squeezed into the absolute smallest combat electronics unit on St. Louis Lambert ANGB. Staff meetings, closings, and promo boards were all stand up affairs. On the plus side, we learned a lot about radar, jammers and other EW gear.

We meet in half of a converted fourplex house on Naval Surface Warfare Center Norco, California.
The other half of the building is occupied by the Sea Cadets.

Sounds cool, except for the last one.

My squadron has held meetings in a deserted armory for a while now. We are actually moving to a new armory next week.

You must have fun on Halloween.
