Why's it unfair and biased for my son to earn his GMA simply because I'm a
commander? If my son completes the requirements it's NOT because I gave it to
him, it'll be because he EARNS it. ANY father, commander or not can help his
son learn the Ranger material. And I would imagine that your 95% is way off
base - MOST of the GMA's I know did not have fathers as commanders - myself
included.
BTW, I didn't mean to be offensive, I just wanted to point out how silly it is
to belittle requirements that are there to HELP and don't really add any extra
work beyond what is already required!

<< That's not what I meant, anybody could've figured that out. Of course it
would be completely stupid to give anyone a GMA without meeting the
requirements. Royal Rangers needs something to support kids who don't have
commanders for parents, which is all I meant by my earlier message. The
program is unfair and biased to kids with parents for commanders. How many
GMA receivers are commander's kids? I bet it's at least 95%. And people
wonder why kids would rather go to youth group instead of RR?? By the way,
a little respect for other people's intelligence unlike that shown by
Michael G would be a good idea. Give other people a little respect OK. I
don't mean to offend anyone by this message, but I found Michael G's
message offensive to me.
