12 May 2011- Meeting Agenda Coastal Bend Cadet Squadron

"How we value the things we have says a lots about what type of person we are.  For example, at one time I used to give certificates indicating cadet promotions, however, the cadets would leave them thrown.  I can only assume they did not value them...yet they cherished the Curry ribbon and their first stripe.  Why?  Why disregard the certificate?  After studying this for years I came up with an answer.  Some people have to have a tactile (physical) sign of achievement.  Same thing for things we are given.  Sometimes a person will not value a thing they do not 'own.'  I have given students folders and such and found them thrown in the hall about 6 min after the bell rand.  They did not pay for it, so they do not 'own it."  We don't give you grade in CAP, you earn it...it becomes yours."     -Major Joe Ely Carrales, CAP 2011
