Most CAP units held testing night one meeting per month until online testing became available. My red pencil was very busy during correction of the tests, and writer's cramp would set in from writing out "Areas For Further Study" when a cadet failed. I swear that some of my cadets treated testing like a game of chance with little or no preparation.

The CAP unit here in my home (in the early '70s) was a farce. I don't mean anything negative about CAP now because I feel that it still is a good thing.
However, Rocket, T. - What I see is that you are active and making a difference. Your rocketry demonstrations, public interactions, and heck even your mascot work are all wonderful. For this, I thank you... and admire you.. and believe me, I do feel that the CAP is STILL A GOOD THING!
And don't give the cadets more than a little break... they might turn out to be like me. (& that ain't good, 'coz I'm a f_k up)

The Chaplain's presentations are now called Character Development. It's eeirie that some of the scenarios describe situations that hit close to home. One delt with a unit that was drill & classroom--kinda like mine. Some units are more active than others though, and there's nothing stopping me from working with other squadrons. So I do. I try to go where I'm needed. The fursuit has opened a few doors for me in recent years.
BTW--We've never heard of anyone named as Testing Officer of The Year.
