I just crossed over to the dark side after spending about 2 years as an ncm jimmy, and this summer I'm doing CAP. I am looking for advice from anyone who has gone through CAP with ncm experience or been an instructor.
Beyond general advice could someone tell me:
- should I bring any Gucci kit like camelback's, smallpack etc for the field ex, or is that more trouble than its worth?
- how hard do I try to hide my previous experience?
- normally I would say as much as possible, but I've heard that since CAP is a leadership course you want to stand out somewhat; but I know that going around with a "listen to me I've done this before" attitude is a guaranteed way to get RF'd by your staff
- do I remove my capbadge for the cornflake?
- are there any differences b/w making a good impression on CAP vs. SQ.... where lets face it your goal is to be the grey man
Any help would be great.
