The one thats available on the national site takes too long to print, as it's scanned and in bitmap form.
I made this as a replacement, this is all vector and thus prints faster, and sharp. You can even fill in the text fields ahead of time same test is going to multiple people at once, or you want to print your unit charter #/name on them, or ...
With Acrobat Pro you can even drop dots on it and make smudge proof answer keys by printing on transparencies. (or other PDF editor)
See attached.
That's awesome! Thanks!
Thanks! :clap: Was just going through forms and CAPF23 was on my list.
Cool! Thanks!
Any thoughts on sending this up to NHQ to put on their website so that a better copy can be distributed to the world?

Much agreed Tubacap!
Thanks for taking the time, a2capt, to do this. This has been on my to do list for a while now, especially the part about making transparency answer keys.
Bravo! :clap:
It's been sent to the publications manager at NHQ. We'll see how they react.
Maybe they'll ask to make changes to it. Which is all possible now. I made it last month but waited until our next testing night before I was satisfied with it, it passed muster. The cadets knew no better. ;)
That was probably the most repetitive and item intensive page I ever put together in Quark. Every line is it's own item, though locked in groups.
I thought about, a separate version for testing officers, for a little bit.. making the ovals as custom radio button sets but figured that would have just totally pissed off Acrobat Pro.
Then I figured, let 'em use one of those many other alternative PDF editors to just drop black blobs on the answer and print it, to make the answer keys.
Even the permanent marker comes off after a while on others.
Nice.......
That is nice. I've already uploaded a copy to an online folder, and will probably dump it onto several of the computers in our squadron at tomorrow's meeting.
If I get the testing officers to use it, we should be golden. Nice work, a2capt. That probably took awhile.
Nicely done. Thanks!
Well, no reply from NHQ on the submission, that I sent to the address thats given on the page for the publications.
So.. either .. they don't care, they don't read their email, or .. someone hates it. ;)
I think it may depend on who you sent it to, did you send it to a generic email address or someone specific?
It might still be linked to TP's home email addy.....
I love it, I'll use it....*&^* what national says!!!
The email address on the site is jsanderson@cap.gov and thats where it went.
Perhaps there's a staff list that can be viewed that may have something other on it.
That thing took about 6 hours to make, and a figure at least a couple of trees.
It was worth it though.
staff directory is on eservices
a2capt, any luck with national?
Why not just order some on the Form 8 utility from NHQ?
The Form 23 is not available through that utility.
CAPF 23 is listed under forms and publications if that's what you are looking for.
It is in the forms list (Index 0-9), but it is no longer available on the online Form 8 application.
..and if download, it's the slightly crooked, scanned copy of probably the 'last' paper one they had.
Scanned, being bitmap, was not the most efficient method of printing. I wanted a nicer looking one.
It prints much faster, you can make multiples with the unit/test/whatever pre-filled in. ..and it's not on the page crooked with random 'dot noise' sprinkled about.
National never acknowledged a thing at any email address.
