SUBJECT:  MGT - The committed volunteer - Part 2/3
    Just as there are three communications service areas -- administrative,
operational, and technical -- there are also varying degrees of activity
from one volunteer to the next.
    Some people are required to perform on what we will call a CONSTANT
basis.  A RACES Radio Officer, a CAP communications officer, or a volunteer
CD communications officer puts in a lot of yime.  He or she does their work
at your office, at home, and at their own office.  It is not at all unusual
for these administrative volunteers to put in 16-30 hours a week.
   These same people plus another type of volunteer serve on a SCHEDULED
basis.  These are the people who are required to serve at a specific time
and place on a repetitive and scheduled basis.  This might be for weekly
radio schedules, paper work at headquarters, training, and other frequently
scheduled activities.
