New Deputy Commander for Cadets
Squadron of the Year,
Please join me in congratulating 2Lt Jeffrey Adler for becoming the Deputy Commander for Cadets. As you know, the DCC is a very important role in our Squadron. CAPR 20-1 defines the role of the DCC as:
Directs and evaluates implementation of the CAP cadet program within the squadron. They shall:
- Coordinate to assure attainment of cadet program objectives and adherence to cadet program directives.
- Ensure Cadet Protection policies and training are in place and being enforced.
- Select and supervise the senior member staff officers to direct the cadet program.
- Monitor funds and property used for cadet program.
The deputy commander for cadets should be familiar with all CAP directives, with particular emphasis on directives in the 35, 50, and 280 series. Also, he/she should be familiar with cadet program aerospace education texts and other training materials described in the CAP Bookstore Catalog, CAPR 0-2 and CAPR 0-9.
So, as you can see, 2Lt Adler will need our help in continuing the long line of DCCs who shaped this Squadron's cadet program into what it is today. I urge all Senior member and cadets to help continue the success of the cadet program.
I'd like to thank 1Lt Chris Dancy for his fine work as the former DCC as well as the seniors who prepare and teach the weekly meetings. Their dedication to the program is sincerely appreciated by all involved.
Jeff Van Etten, Maj, CAP
