There have been some notable examples of some wings not complying with the "new" (over two years old now) rules in the past year.
"Two"? How about more like "eight"? A significant number of cadets and seniors have joined and left CAP in that time never exposed to the "old" curriculum, yet the wives tales and olde schoole ways persist. |

Most college courses do not rely on class member interaction as a significant part of the class.

Hmmm. I remember otherwise for several courses. Sociology, Psychology, Art to name just a few. |

Problem is that the AF won’t allow CAP to have OCPs until they have outfitted every AF member first.
Which, by my observation, should be about the end of this year.
Seriously, if you go to any Army Exchange you will not find any ACU or ABU pattern... anything... left on the shelves. It's OCP only now. Been to Knox, Hood, Drum and Camp Atterbury in the last six months and it's all the same... OCP only with ones-twoies left in ABU or ACU.
So if you can access an Army Base, same issue CAP has getting on Air Bases applies, the Army Clothing and Sales will happily sell you OCPs.
Now, someone needs to authorize CAP to wear OCPs... but I digress.
Actually, no they won't. AAFES can not sell OCP's to Air Force personnel, and I have lumped CAP into the Air Force personnel category for the sake of argument, until a date to be determined.
Actually they will and have been for some time now.
Depending on the base you're at. Currently AF personnel can not buy them at March ARB, Los Angeles AFB and Edwards AFB.
Subject to change if AAFES and DLATS ever get their acts together.
They can at Travis and here at Tinker.
Which is why the OP in the first post said he couldn't find ABU's at Travis. |

About two years ago we started using Facebook jobs as a recruiting tool. We have had successes along the way. We also implemented a social media growth strategy that has taken us from a community of about 200 to over 800 in that time frame.
This year we have been averaging one "application" a week, this month seven so far!
Call it 30* folks that have applied, we have interviewed fewer than a dozen and three* have joined and an equal number are still kicking the tires.
All in all an amazingly low calorie, low cost evergreen tool.
* Numbers are estimates.

Sorry, not even remotely the same thing.
And what's the difference? |

Because the primary value of these courses,
especially TLC is the discussion among peers.
Online college courses I've taken have included mandatory discussion boards just for this purpose. So, I ask again, if I can obtain a college degree totally online on my own schedule (meeting set deadlines, of course) why can't I take a simple CAP course on the same random schedule? |
