You can argue that it was the wrong action but you can't argue that they drug their feet. My guess is that future issues will be met with much faster responses from them moving forward as well. Things are changing. If that's the case, why are they allowing someone who knowingly hired man who lost his teaching license for sending a student inappropriate messages to lead a world class corps? It's an ongoing issue that they still haven't dealt with, 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HockeyDad Posted January 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2019 So, Aresenal Director’s fatal error was speaking truth to power. Or can someone correct me here? Makes me think he must have hit a little too close to home. What other skeletons are the n DCI’s crowded closet? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just don’t speak ill of the boss and his decisions come to mind. Just can’t picture this with some of the DCA personalities back in my day. Thinking lot of disagreements expressed “forcefully” yet final result was for the best of the activity.

Now, if he had said that the former director and BOD of Cadets violated the trust of their kids, even SoundSport would be off-limits for Arsenal now.

DCI is in a different situation and under a different level of scrutiny now. The pendulum for these types of infractions has swung to the extreme. Was it excessive for Arsenal? Sure. If the above situation happens this summer, a Corps director disparaging an entire region, I can guarantee that DCI will take action. Luckily the only corps director(s) that are dumb enough and unprofessional enough to do this are not corps directors anymore. Ok, you want " 2018 " ? DCI HQ has remained silent for a couple of months now with the knowledge that one of its membership's current Corps Directors ( according to press reports ) apparently paid a firm to keep the past sexual violations with youth of a staffer in their emply away from the scrutiny of DCI HQ, parents of marchers, and parents of prospective campers at the Corps. Think about this for a moment. The Corps Director certainly knew that the staffer's hire and retention would not play well with the public if the guys past sexual creepiness and sexual violations with minors came to light. So rather than be forthcoming, honest, and transparent, he attempted to secretly pay a firm to bury that info from public scrutiny. No matter how one tries, no one can not justify the actions to secretly pay a firm to keep from the public their Right to Know, especially when these Corps Directors act as proxies for parents with their children for months on end. Compare the actions of this Corps Director with that of the Arsenal Corps Director's fully open and transparent actions, and words he typed on Social Media that actually were the TRUTH. Compare the swiftness and rather harsh penalty too that was imposed by DCI HQ upon this young and ambitious Corps Director and its entire Corps with that of the silence by DCI HQ. with the potentially far more threats to marcher safety of a current Corps Director ( that served on the DCI BOD recently ). All in " 2018 ". As a matter of fact, it is now " 2019 ", Jan.16th, and as of yet DCI HQ. has had no statement on that Corps, nor its Corps Director's far, FAR more reported unacceptable behaviors, ( not just some rather harmless words on Social media by the young former Corps Director with Arsenal. ) Edited January 17, 2019 by BRASSO 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
