Links :: The Hock Shop
Tom Flanagan has been selling CAP uniform accessories and insignia since before the CAP Bookstore did, but he started more like "Corporal Klinger" than AAFES. Uniforms, accessories, insignia, and even some stuff that the Bookstore doesn't think to sell (Mouse pads with your name, rank and the CAP seal, anybody?) are available here. Online ordering and complete uniform sets are just the start of the incredible things the Hock Shop can deliver. (Did we say "complete?" You betcha! A full, complete BDU uniform: shirt, trousers, belt, boots, cap, insignia, nametags, t-shirt, socks... Everything but your nasty body to make it inspection-ready!) Careful you don't trip over the catalog, though. Need it this week? Tom can probably help you out. If you're local to Massachusetts, you can even get it in a couple days without having to pay exorbitant prices for shipping! Tell Tom CadetStuff.org sent you!

Leadership :: The Value of Competence
This week's leadership moment is on the value of competence. If you are going to be a leader, the key element starts with competence in your primary duty and expands from there. Leadership is influence, and if you want to start influencing others, you have got to start with all the elements it takes to learn your job, consistently do your job, teach others your job, and then be an advocate for your job, duty or mission.
