You should be in charge of whatever the CM team is... then I, and others who could care less, might even pay attention and participate.
Heh! That's telling them! (Oh wait, I'm one of those punks! D'oh!)
The CM team is made up of a bunch of players who volunteer to do the admin work behind the various special events. There are different groups of us for each of the different types of special events -- for example, I work on scenarios with the several other scenario CM's, but I don't work on Friday Squad Ops or the air racing, etc., which are different groups. Each group handles its area and sort of takes lead on getting new CM's to work in its team.
Because the CM team is composed of all regular-player volunteers, organization is a bit more loose than if it were a business or a group working in the military or some other organization where the activity is an avocation.
Nevertheless, the CM's I know (which is most of them) are a good bunch of folks working to apply some of their spare time to help make special events happen. They want to do a good job, and they don't mean to insult anyone or piss anyone off. In this case, I'm sure folks will be in touch with Betty and work to smooth things out, although they might be careful to keep their donkey holes covered just in case.

Now, on a separate topic -- I think you should play in the upcoming scenario Operation Husky to get more exposure to CM, special-event types of things. Scenarios are where ex Marines should definitely participate! Expecially this one -- the allied invasion of Sicily. I even think there is one of the landing areas called "xMarine beach" if I recall correctly.
