Nine months ago, we launched the Cadet Blog with two main goals. First, we wanted to keep you better informed about Cadet Program news. Second, we wanted to let you sound off to us directly about the new activities, curricula, and support tools we have in the works. Judging by the hit counts, the Cadet Blog is either the #1 or #2 most popular page on the CAP website, so that's good news (the regs & pubs page gets about as much traffic).
But what we really want to know is whether we're offering what you need. Do you feel better informed about Cadet Programs? What else should we do with the Cadet Blog or the cadet pages as a whole to serve you? (Keep in mind we have some technical limitations and the Cadet Team manages only the cadet-related web content).
Finally, as a sort of test to see if you’re reading us closely, the first four members to add a thoughtful comment below and close their comment with “send me my prize,” will receive a CAP padfolio as gift. Be sure to include your CAPID in your comment so we can track down your mailing address.

This is really cool! I never saw this before! Oh, Send me my prize! 453990 [Sorry, you're about 2 weeks late -- editors]
That was fast! I guess people do read the Cadet Blog closely. Congrats to Dan Brodsky, Bob Williams, Phillip Kittelson, and Clement Ng. Watch for a CAP padfolio to arrive in 5-10 days. Travis Kienholz, Donald Cain, and "JH" replied, too, but not quickly enough. We'll continue to monitor comments posted here on how we can improve the Cadet Blog.
I have the Cadet Blog in my RSS feed. Everything you have posted has been valuable, and if I had a suggestion, it would be to post more often. Informational blog posts that provide some details as to how the Cadet Team thinks about various aspects of the cadet program would be valuable. For example, the philosophy behind, and tips for, the CAPF 50-series forms, including tips for conducting the discussion. Oh, and send me my prize. :) 151701
284224 Thank you for the information, I do feel better informed, and a number of things have come through here that were really great. Having the RSS up and running is a blessing as well. Keep up the good work! Bob Williams IL245
I load the Cadet Blog into my Google Reader. It lets me know when there's a new post. This blog has been very informative about relevant cadet issues. I just wish that it included more links and files relevant to the topic at hand on the side like some posts do. Send me my prize. CAPID # 444546.
I have enjoyed the Cadet Blog and its content since its beginning. I would like it to post more frequently. Perhaps, include a random tidbit of information, such as a "Did you Know?" or historical CAP fact, etc., each day or week. "send me my PRIZE"! CAPID: 398633
