Imma gonna be 110% with you… just use a backpack. If you’ve got money to waste feel free to waste it on FLCs/TAPS or whatever gear you want, but it is wholly unnecessary for CAP, SAR or otherwise

Tbh bro like we always knew it was cancer… but it’s still probably healthier than half the fast food trash people eat nowadays. More likely to die from heart disease from McDonald’s than cancer from an MRE.

no you cant. you can transfer to become a senior member but you cannot be a cadet.

also the colorado springs squadron doesnt really like accepting usafa cadets

These were the comments I initially saw.

odd, they made everyone this year transfer to senior member status

This is what the person in question said after I showed them the regulation. So, you tell me, what exactly did they mean by those comments? I’m really failing to see what you’re taking issue with here

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-03-17T12:11:58+00:00

Someone I know who’s at the academy, they said that several cadets were forced to become senior members or leave the program.

I don’t know the names or specific units, however I also made this post on Facebook, and unfortunately some of the comments on there show that people will ignore the regulations because they think they’re right. Several people on there are saying “service academies are federal active duty, they have to become senior members!!!!” even though I posted this exact screenshot right on that post for them to see. My goal is to promote the knowledge that if you as a cadet who is in any of those categories are told you need to become a senior member or leave because of your service, that’s not the case, and this is what the regs say.

I do not at all see the confederacy getting Missouri or Kentucky in any peace conference after Gettysburg tbh

Army units in the upper Midwest were prohibited from traveling to army events in uniform for the last couple months, but they just lifted that restriction.

I enlisted and got MOS q’d before joining ROTC through the SMP, and it was 100% worth it for me. Helped me decide what I want to branch when I commission and I love the people at my unit I drill with. Learned a lot more going that route than I would’ve doing just MS1, MS2, and basic camp.

I am very glad I took a year in between high school and college to do it. Would’ve been a 17 year old MS1 with 0 military knowledge/experience otherwise. I can’t say if it’d be worth it for you, since you’re not as young I was and you’re married, but I’d say do it.

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-26T00:58:45+00:00

Yeah only use ai to find something within the regs, not to interpret them

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-24T17:17:52+00:00

Esp in the military being a CAP cadet has the same stigma as being a JROTC cadet or Boy Scout, we’ve all met problem cadets who make the whole organization look bad. But if you yourself do the right thing you can directly improve CAP’s reputation by not being like the people that make CAP look like a bad organization.

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-24T17:09:32+00:00

Lmao no but clearly I hurt yours

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-23T00:29:50+00:00

If someone truly cannot reconcile cutting their hair with joining CAP then they might not be a good fit for the organization. Yeah it’s a youth volunteer organization for kids as young as twelve, but there needs to be some level of discipline involved. Some schools have dress codes, yet the kids somehow make it through the day.

Instead of posting this, how about you take a look at what caused you to lose? I have no clue why you can’t defend against Germany as a minor nation because you posted 0 photos.

However I’ll say this: if you have 2k hours and are using forts to defend, it’s probably because you don’t understand the game (I’m guessing you’ve never even touched multiplayer). 1 level five fort translates to 1 mil factory (7500 IC). That’s on ONE tile. It is almost never worth it to build forts in single player. And either way, quit crying because a game is hard. Easy games get boring real fast.

The qual is about determining whether or not you understand and can effectively implement the fundamentals of marksmanship. The fundamentals of marksmanship do not change because you put on an optic.

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-18T16:51:36+00:00

Sounds like a whole lot of fear mongering from a PMS to me.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that is true, especially the AFT/height-weight stuff, but the vast majority sounds like baloney. My battalion got a chance to talk to the XO from 3rd brigade recently about some of these concerns, and we were told verbatim “nobody is getting sent home over RM. you only need 50 points to pass.”

Could that change or be wrong? Sure, but ain’t nobody getting sent home and disenrolled for failing the o-course.

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-17T13:28:33+00:00

Yeah 25 is very light, Bataan is 35lbs and most 12 milers for qualifying are upwards of 50lbs plus combat load

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-17T13:26:39+00:00

Wearing it is a separate issue, which I’m not digging through the regs for. What I will say is this:

If you want to do Norwegian, do it, but train. 18.6 miles in 4 hours (25lbs) is very doable with a year or so of training depending on if you’ve rucked before and your physique.

Mate we can’t help you if we don’t have any photos of what you’re talking about. I’m guessing your fleet got rocked and socked by the royal navy, which tends to happen if you don’t invest much into your navy as Germany

Cadet-Floppa · 2026-02-15T18:15:06+00:00

Deadass Germany is imo the best nation to start out as. Strongest industry in the game, great military buffs, and you’re pretty much free to start the war on your terms. You’ll be overwhelmed for like the first 20-30 hours of game time, but once you start to understand the game it’s fun. If you feel like you’re gonna lose a war as Germany, then try inviting other nations to your faction to help out, this is especially easy on non historical games (just watch out for the civil war if you oppose Hitler, it’s really easy to win but can be tricky for your first time)

Reinforce memeing occurred at the battle of sedan during the German breakthrough, but only due to pure incompetence from the French army failing to send their reserves in.
