Squadron Issue

[RiverAux]

Even if you have a cadet squadron, the senior members still need to be trained.

I had a similar situation once while serving as a D/C of Cadets. What worked in that squadron was having the senior members join the cadets for for the first hour of the meeting.

In that situation, the cadets actually asked for it and the senior members took full advantage because it exposed them to the cadet program, promoted it, and provided some training that senior members wouldn't normally get.

It anchored the squadron, got people working together and even got both sides working on Aerospace Education. The other best part was that it promoted cadets and actually generated a ground team and other ES training.

Also, if the guy that's late still wants the deputy commander for senior slot, then assign him an assistant to provide leadership and mentoring  to the other senior members until he gets there.

Hey All,

Thanks very much for the feedback.

the Cadet Training Schedule saved my 4th POC last night. Character Development for cadets and GES for Seniors.

By the time Character Dev. was over the new DCC (SM thats always 45 mins late do to work) was there, and I was able to continue on with teaching the seniors for the full 2 hour meeting.

Talking with the SQ/CC the other Senior is being assigned DCC and I will remain as DCS. We have talked to the other seniors and they are willing to help out on the cadet side weekly until the DCC can get there.
