Have you put your meeting participation into "pending" status in protest of your "pending" rank in e-Services? ;-)

Daniel

Nope that was nothing, Unit CC forgot to press a few buttons should be fixed by the time I wake up

I have Cerebral Palsy and needed surgical treatment for my hamstrings. I'm in two straight leg casts but I'm still keeping up with the Unit CC and helping out. Just not physically being at the meeting.

Daniel hang tough, won't be much longer and then you'll be back in the saddle again.  In the mean time, study your aerospace and leadership and if you get bored read 52-16 to preview your future.

Geez, you're going to let something as small as hamstring surgery and two straight leg casts keep you from the meetings.  [Insert WIWAC story here including snow and hail as well as gunfire, parachuting and saving a three year old].

Just kidding, get well and get back to us soon!

ronically, I read

CAPR 101-1
CAPM 39-1
among others.

Everyone said that if if I keep pushing myself, I'm going to get burnt out.. but I'm hoping to become an exception to that rule.

Daniel: just a bump in the road: all of us have been through them at one time or another.  In the past six years I have had two total knee replacements and two broken bones in my feet: just slowed me down a bit but that it all.  I was driving after three weeks and flying in four, after the knee replacements.

Hang in there and you'll be back in the saddle soon.

Does your unit have internet, or someone have a laptop and cellular stick, tethered phone?

Ya could put your face on skype and a computer on the table.. and participate.

A great time to get some extra AE/Module work done too, so you can lick the next test, and so forth right out of the gate! Then you'll even have more time to soak it all in when you go in again. :)

Be strong, Daniel!  You're not the type who gets slowed by cat-gut and plaster.  Show'em what you're made of!

bit off subject, but if a cadet takes a speciality track exam will that carry over for when the cadet becomes a senior?

The test yes, but alone it doesn't mean much.

I promoted to C/MSgt minimum time. I took my time later to enjoy the moment.

Daniel

actually I didnt promote every two months, my unit never had anyone ever receive the Wright Bros. award  so when I passed the test. The old Unit CC called up the chain of command and asked them to promote me, a month early so I could be a c/ssgt at Wing conference. This last promotion however took a while to get processed and ended up about evening the score

You are letting a HOSPITAL STAY keep you away from CIVIL AIR PATROL?

And here I thought today's cadets were HARDCORE.

CAP is LIFE.  Everything else is just DETAILS, SON.

You get yourself well, cadet.  CAP will be waiting on you when you get ready.

Take care and God bless. :clap:
