Do you have any CAP related items in your workplace. This could be something as simple as a picture or as complex as a grouping of items.
Not in my current office because I'm fairly new and haven't quite settled in yet...it's been 4 months.
But at my last job, in DC, I had a few CAP items on display. A couple of CAP coins, a picture of my cadets they had given me in a frame, and a coffee mug.
My boss up in DC, at the time, was the Deputy Wing Commander and he had a picture of himself that I framed and gave to him after his dog passed. He has since retired from CAP but the picture remains. I guess after 30 years it's normal to have something around to remind you of something good.
In fact, it was this picture...

I keep a few brochures and copies of Volunteer on the end of my desk as sort of a passive recruiting tool. As far as I know, it hasn't led to anyone joining but it has started a few conversations.
I don't have a lot of space at my station but I usually keep a copy of the "Volunteer" in the lobby for customers after I have read it.
I have a couple of pics here and there, nothing official, so to speak. I did find out that the guy in the office next to me was a former member
There is also have a link on the company website about volunteer activities - they gave me my own page for our clients to see. I guess it gives them the warm fuzzy feeling that engineers sort-of have lives outside of the normal 9 to 5 (7 to 5 for me).

Old USAF Aux Patch and R-Adv tab on the wall. (Waiting to go back on the BDU's >:D)
I have my cube full of CAP stuff! Not in a bragging way though.
I have a coffee mug that I was presented that sits on one of my shelves.
I have numerous pictures of my wife and me at CAP events on my picture board.
I use a CAP laptop bag, so that's visible.
I also have the Chicken Wings Comic about CAP hanging.
When I first started I used to get a bunch of questions about it, but now that everyone knows I do it - it's just routine. There are a few Army Guard guys in my office that think it's pretty spiffy.
However, there was apparently someone that used to work here that used to wear his smurf suit to all the company parties (Halloween, Christmas, etc) :o So I get asked if I have one of those (just as a joke.)
So - I represent!
I have some of my certificates there, but most of them are in my desk drawer. The only framed thing I keep out for sure is my autographed copy of "Colin Powell's Rules." I had "remove before flight" and "remove to arm" things on my desk for a while.
I have my chaplain appointment certificate hanging on my office wall.
I feel left out because I don't have an office....

Enjoy it - you could be in a cube farm for 40/wk. I moved up - I have a door and a window that opens.

Why would anyone in Pennsylvania want a window that opens during December? To let the snow in?

That's what you do when you're "HARD" HOOAH!!!
I'm trying to get an indoor job now but I think that will have to wait until I can finish my Bachelor's Degree. As of now, I am trying to get copies of all of my old cadet programs certificates to put on my "Love Me Wall."
I've got a couple of pictures and a few extra patches.
I have my Senior Officer of the Year (2005) plaque from my old squadron.
I've got a couple of Wing challenge coins, an old wing patch and my KS Adjutant General's State Disaster Relief Service award posted in my cubicle. My work PC's screensaver is set to slide show several megs of CAP images from Katrina, KS/CO blizzard of 2005/2006 and some other disasters our birds worked.
Unfortunately, this is my office. My office's J-brake locked up.

There's no need for much more.

Who is that sexy man standing up on the right?
For those interested, that picture came from a very cool activity in early 2002. (http://www.cadetstuff.org/archives/000086.html#00008)
I have piles of CAP paperwork and projects on my desk.
Does that count?
... and CAP documents occasionally forgotten in printers and copiers.
Copies of Volunteer in my student lounge!

In my last job in DC, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, my boss was also the wing vice commander, and thankfully so.
I can't tell you how much time I spent on CAP and how many times we'd cover each others' butts by snatching CAP out of the printer or copier. Worst part was, my office was about a 2 minute walk from where the color laser printer was so I had to hit "print" and run to the color printer which was near our big boss's office.
I'd say in 5 years at the World Bank, 3 of which I was a Sq/CC, they must have dropped a few grand in administrative costs to CAP.
I use the Windows waving flag screen-saver on my dual screens, but I changed the flag to the CAP MAJCOM image. Aside from that I usually have some CAP related administrivia on my desk...no FOUO of course!
Nothing more than a few pens and pencils. There are rules about bling and personal items in my slave camp.........I mean Office. :D
