Thanks Nef. I really didn't think my turn would come up. Maybe to post the projected CIC rotation somewhere would be a good idea for just such an emergency.

With 47 Squads, we use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of how many times people have been CiC's.
A few years back it was guaranteed you would see the Duty at least once every 3 months. As newer squads (Squads that have participated in less than three FSOs (9 Full Frames) pass this mark, they become eligible for CIC service.
I guess the good news is that once a good portion of the squads pass this mark, the frequency of having to be CIC will go down. By doing the math real quick you could say that with 11 FSO's a year. 33 (Frames) x 2 (CICs) = 66 Total CICs. That means you can bet that you will at least have one CIC role a year, maybe two. The bad news is, as in your case, is that it might come at an inconvenient time.
I will talk with SLED and all the Admins and see if we can work something out regarding a calendar or list, for the entire year or maybe 6 months.
