CAD RE TREN DS/ ISSU ES(Regt , Com mittee, S taf f )

CON Regt :

No time off for Cadre personnel issues (overworked/tasked 14 plus hour days)

Utilize ROTC the numerous SGM in ROTC to serve as REGT SGM

All XO’s need to be 04 not 05 PMS’s at the REGT

CON All:

Why are repeat performers made to come ever year and others for what ever reasonstay back?

Ht Wt issue WHY? if needed to be done then should be done to standard. Whathappens if individual is over weight?

Living accommodations off post, bad areas need to be relooked. Additionally,

collocating committee and regimental cadre to ease trans burden

CON HRA: Duties need better clarification

PRO Staff : GSA employees enjoy their work

PRO All:

Enjoy their part in training Cadets

Overall positive comments on TAC Staff Class although majority stated do awaywith day three.
