Group 4 Cadet Advisory Council

Group 4 CAC 

Squadron Commanders,

In the continuing effort to build and nurture the cadet program, within both the wing and the group, I have been in discussions with both Lt Col Smith and C/Lt Col Jeff Ingersoll. I have recruited their support and permission and therefore, it is my pleasure to announce that coming in the next term of the CAC cycle, Group 4 will sport its very own CAC.

I have selected C/Lt Col Jeff Ingersoll for the duty of being the first Chair of the CAC. C/Lt Col Ingersoll currently represents the Group on the Wing Cadet Advisory Council and reports to myself on Wing issues. Additionally, he has staffed at many major events, the most recent of which are the Ohio Wing Cadet Conference and the National Cadet Competition. For his work at the National Cadet Competition, he received a Commanders' Commendation. He has also been selected for IACE with the United Kingdom.

I and C/Lt Col Ingersoll will work together upon his return from the UK to establish a new Operating Instruction on how the CAC is to be governed. The CAC will be of great assistance to myself and the Group Commander as we work on cadet-oriented activities at the group level, such as Initiative 2004.

With this being said, I would like to request that each squadron commander nominate to me one primary and one assistant representative to the Group CAC. This representative shall be different from your Wing representative unless you receive special dispensation from me; having things set up that way keeps more slots open for cadets to attend the CAC, improving leadership training.

I will require a signed CAPF2A to be hand-carried to the first meeting by each individual. Currently, I am looking at many different meeting locations; right now, the area of Cleveland where I am seems relatively centrally located and provides facilities. If you need assistance in completing the 2A, please feel free to email me.

I look forward to the contributions of the Group CAC to our Group, Wing, and program as a whole. Group 4 continues to lead the way with excellence in operations, aerospace education, and cadet programs, and this will be yet another step towards excellence. Please congratulate C/Lt Col Ingersoll on his appointment and get your nominations in to me by the 1st of August, 2004. The new CAC will sit on its first term and become official representatives on 22 Aug 2004, at which point the primary becomes authorized to wear a green shoulder cord.

My thanks to all of you, and I look forward to seeing the contributions of the new CAC.

Respectfully,


THOMAS A. REHMAN, C/Lt Col, CAP
Director of Cadet Programs, Group 4 Headquarters
