Someone making speculation about what The Cadets/YEA might be doing followed by someone assuming it what they are doing. Perhaps you didn’t see the “?” in my post. Specifically- is that what’s really happening? If you think that means I am assuming that’s what’s happening, then I can’t help you. You also apparently ignored the part where I said - I hope that’s not the situation. That also is far from an assumption that it IS the situation. A large part of the problem here is the overreacting on both sides of the discussion. Edited January 29, 2020 by HockeyDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 man - it's like a bunch of 80s Garfield Cadets stole of bunch of these anonymous posters girlfriends back in the day... 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that means I am assuming that’s what’s happening, then I can’t help you. "Yikes is that what's really happening? In that case..." reads a lot more like a reaction to what you believe to be a factual statement, like "I can't believe that's what's happening!" or "That is really surprising!" than a genuine question. You follow it up with "This is more precarious than I knew" implying that you believe the statements in the post you are replying to be factual despite the original poster admitting they have no idea what is actually going on. You follow it up with "I hope that's not the situation but under the shroud of secrecy that exists, it's hard to know." You are considering this random person's speculation with equal weight to people who are actually involved in the organization and assuming the worst. It is a perfect example of how this stuff spirals out of control. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 You know, dans - I do believe many people participate on message boards to disagree, correct, and sometimes, do harm. However, I think most visit here to LEARN. Asking questions is what enables learning. DCI and Cadets are a big deal in the eyes of you and others. Some here merely seek a greater understandIng of a topic of high concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly YMMV. Sounds like a legal issue and not is it a new CORPS or not.... Are you saying it would make a difference if it was a new parent organization that was not under a cloud? And difference between this and Crossmen going under YEA and then leaving is????! If you want to say Cadets should go thru the approval process because of new management, fine. But to say they are a new corps? In that case the history going back to the 1930s is over. Or maybe that ended 1958 or so when Holy Name dropped management Edited January 29, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common practice to prevent creditors from taking possession of assets! That may,I don't know,protect the actual instruments. It would depend on how the "loan" agreement is written. But there could still be "issues" with things like vehicles,including the food truck,equipment trailers ,other non-instrument equipment like amplification systems, etc. I would think that all of these things have to addressed,before anything from YEA or The Cadets is made public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a perfect example of how this stuff spirals out of control. Why don’t you tell us all what the real situation is. Then no one will have to speculate. Or are you also speculating? “Spiraling out of control” is in the mind of the beholder. Perhaps for the overly defensive, that’s how you see it. Others might be genuinely interested in trying to understand what’s going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly where I’m at, seeking to understand the situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
