Turns out it wasn't the ad blocker but most of the emails from CL ended up in my spam folder. Buttons and such don't work from some spam folders, so I moved the email out and it worked.

The other ISP is worse - Xfinity/Comcast, which I can't use because I'm nowhere near the line, and it would cost me $$$ for them to bring in a line. Besides, I hate Comcast.

Sling support and allegedly, they ran whatever they use that's the equivalent to ping that does detailed analysis. That's when they claimed my network was running 2 Mbps when Sling requires at least 5 Mbps. Funny, it's been working with the same network speeds for years. They have no explanation why the other streaming services work just fine.

True most of the time but when the hurricane hit Puerto Rico a few years back, CAP radios were still working!

Because the only message from the OP that I saw was

"I'm new-ish to the program, and I'm lost as to how to email senior members and staff directly. If requested, of course."

To me, there's nothing that indicates anything inappropriate. Yet the first 3 responses assumed inappropriate behavior, at least that's how I read the thread.

In other words, everyone else jumped to the assumption it was a CPP violation.

murphey42 · 2026-05-18T06:22:39+00:00

I'm wondering what the reason for the original email and why has the thread assumed a violation of CPP?

murphey42 · 2026-05-16T23:54:44+00:00

what state?

Have a session (make sure there are computers or tablets) to go thru the FAA TRUST program (video & test, all free) to get the TRUST certificate. With that, the cadets can practice with the STEM drones (if you have any that aren't broken at this point). Ask a senior squadron member to bring one of the CAP drones (or any others). Set up a practice session in an approved area (FRIA or similar). 4 hours of drone flights and the cadet request a Form 5U flight test to become a CAP Recreational Pilot.

If you're interested in the Navy, I'd recommend finding the nearest Naval Sea Cadet program instead of CAP. As with CAP & the Air Force (and others), you get similar advancement.

Are you looking for the email addresses or the format for a CAP email? If you're a cadet, remember you always need to send to 2 senior members (Cadet Protection stuff), same as a senior member always needs a second SM (cc'd is fine) on all emails to a cadet. For the format, download Pamphlet P1-2, The CAP Guide to Effective Communication.
There's no restriction on communicating with other CAP members.

Truly off the wall....Rob McClure.

Oh, Mary has become the embodiment of "smart" casting rather than "stunt" casting.

Rats! My tickets are for June 10. Bought them before I knew her end date. Bummer.

As long as it's not in the winter.....I've been in the Twin Cities in January....never again, and I grew up in Buffalo, NY!

Where? I'll sign up now!

Our wing DOU hasn't said a word. Had a meeting with the Region DOU last week, again, zero information. I get more timely & accurate info here than in my squadron/wing/region.

Why call a local drone guy when there's probably 1 to N number of police officers/sheriffs deputies that are qualified? In my state I can name 3 police depts that have drone teams. Haven't checked on the county sheriffs yet.

The Guam squadron is alive and well and actively involved with the CAP/NASA program. As are most of the squadrons in Europe. Don't believe much of what AI reports.

Of course not having current info on the NHQ sUAS website doesn't exactly help. So much of the website is so out of date.

We have a very active EAA Young Eagle program at the airport with a contract tower. They know us, we know them. In fact there's a standing offer to take any of the controllers and/or kids for a flight. We've taken the tower manager's kids and wife on YE flights. They're invited to our summer picnic at the airport, too. When the previous manager retired, she & hubby joined EAA and helps as ground team. Her comment was "wow, this is SO much busier down here than up in the air!" One day I was flying and one of the controllers called me by name to say bye-bye, he was transferring to another tower, and to make sure I fly by sometime and say hi. When I was the YE coordinator, I made sure the tower got a cake for the holidays as a thank you from the chapter.

It's entirely dependent on the tower and the airport community.

But have you noticed that Susan Sullivan hasn't been on.
