That's a darned good letter!

We either have:

1.  One very smart general, or

2.  One general with a very smart PAO who writes the letters.

Having recently had the opportunity to meet and talk with her in person, I can confirm that we indeed have one very smart general who also is an effective leader with a clear vision of where this organization needs to go and how to get it there. We're fortunate to have someone of her caliber at the head of CAP.

DesrtFlyer, I've been really hoping someone would say that.  Our org needs a real leader to get us out of the wilderness.

I hope that the news I heard about her being investigated for travel expenses is just that.. rumor...

I saw some drek on a moribund unofficial CAP email list in which "CAP Insights" was ranting about some ultimatum he's put upon NHQ in re: the content of such rumors.

What's funny is his own email list is moderated. Any discontent regarding his blog or posts are blocked and the hate mail begins. What do you expect from a wannabe prison snitch anyway? Always looking to drop the dime on someone else to deflect the criticism on his own actions.

I tend to think Gen. Courter is a smart, capable leader and an effective communicator, based on my impressions after meeting her and being in the same room with her at a Florida Wing conference. So I'm not surprised at the anniversary letter.

But I'll say this -- I've never seen a previous national commander put a letter like that out before. It was a class act.

Good letter and we all deserve to be proud but once again AE gets barely a mention.  Are we sure this is still one of our missions?  :-\
