[PAO] New CAPP 201 - Public Affairs Officer Specialty Track

[Doug Barth]

I really appreciate the conversation and discussion on this topic.  As a Tech rated PAO (and former squadron commander, PDO) and with retirement approaching am looking at how to increase my engagement in CAP (within time and budget constraints).

 

Quick question, going back to a question raised in the initial post for this conversation

 

Since NHQ/PA has placed mandatory training requirements for the two FMEA in-residence courses (and I am sure they are aware of the travel, expense etc issues); I would ask, what is the plan to provide this training to our members…knowing that “go to Maryland” is not a plan.  Developing a training delivery plan should have been included in the development of the new regulation.

 

I would look for NHQ/PA to be developing CAP internal resources to develop and deliver these courses for our members.  Perhaps FEMA has a train-the-trainer program?

 

I belong to several other volunteer and professional organizations, and it is the organization’s responsibility to ensure that required training is developed and delivered to its members (thru either in-house resources or contracted resources, or online) and not to be dependent on external sources where access is limited (ie in-residence classes.)
