I tried really hard to find something to nit-pick on and didn't find anything.
Nice job, we need more of this type of work across the board.
Nice. Personally, I'm tired of photo slideshows on youtube. Real video would make more of an impact.
I think I recognized Pylon, three of my Cadets and myself. How weird....... :clap:

Careful, someone might say, "Okay, you've just volunteered to replace it"

I for one enjoyed the video.

I do need to move into video. Don't think the quality of what my cell phone camera can take would be up to snuff though....

me too! now if only we'd set up a YouTube non-profit channel and get the CAP username. Why are we soooooo far behind organizations of our size in interweb tube things?!
^ Because the average age of our membership is old. I've been trying to bring our squadron up to snuff in the technology department, we are now on Facebook, Twitter, have a website and have squadron email addresses. I announced this last week to the senior members and the response were a bunch of blank stares, I'm pretty sure they thought I was speaking another language.

Cite statistics, please, and preferably active members only.
(Our love for keeping empty shirts on the books into their graves as full members might skew the stats, but does not necessarily reflect the age demo of active members).The blank stares you saw may not be because they don't know what these services are, but because they don't have an interest in using them for CAP (or otherwise).
It might also interest you to know that Twitter is actually the "old dude's place" with 60+ percent of membership in the 25-65 category and 40 percent age 35-49.
No, I cannot provide statistics, nor am I going to search for them, it was simply an observation. Not that I have a problem with the age of our membership, we do many things very well, general membership embracing the internet is not one of them (present company excluded).

Last I saw, the average age of CAP members was nearing the 60 mark...
The people in CHARGE are old. I ran the statistics on PAWG a while ago. They weren't pretty. It would appear that the Wing's strategy is to replace wing staff as they die. I have not ran a statistical analysis of NHQ, but the other organizations who get it aren't exactly run by teenagers. We can't even get a style guide and a uniform marketing campaign, which are not exactly new concepts.
HOLY COW BATMAN!
A bunch of my photos made it on there! Woohoo!
Nice video. I would like to find something taylored toward inner city kids. I am going to start recruiting in the schools in my community, Dont know if this video would really cathc their ey. I know they wouldnt care for the music. I would just like to find something to strike their interest. Thanks
My C/Col (David Hill) and Squadron was in there. At 3:02. That is when he got his Spaatz at the Capital Building and President Obama came in. He is to the right of President Obama and has the Red Advisory Counsel thing (sorry I forgot what it is called) ;)
This is a great video! One of my cadets got 2 seconds of fame.

Definitely great video. And I suppose if you REALLY want to nitpick there were out of regs sunglasses at 1:04 but it doesnt really matter because its a great video.
