The oath says 'attend meetings regularly.' What if a cadet must miss one now and then?

  1. They broke the oath and must leave CAP
  2. They must retake the oath at the next meeting
  3. That's fine; they still come on a regular basis ✔

Why: Learn to Lead admits school, family and other duties sometimes win. Regular attendance means coming most of the time, not never missing.

Huh, didn't know that: Active participation in unit meetings is also a promotion requirement in CAPR 60-1.
