ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING NCICA

Convention 2009

As we all know, NCICA is a ‘voluntary’ run organization which was formed by groups around the United States following the end of World War II.  It’s basic history began in 1945 with two of the oldest groups still in existence and functioning:  the Military Intelligence Association of New England (MIANE), The New York Counter Intelligence Corps Association (NYCICA Now at Sixty plus years, age is beginning to sap their strengths.  The oldest members are leaving us, the middle agers are sustaining us and the young M.I.’ers seem to have no knowledge of us.  Based on past experience, when newspaper articles appear concerning the various group changes of Administration (Pres., Vice Pres., etc) with blurbs that provide general background information on the individual and a ‘quiet’ brief on the organization, there is normally a surge of interest and inquiry by the long silent CIC’ers in the area.  Along with the inquiry is the inevitable
” I didn’t know anything like this existed!”; “where can I find you guys?”How can I join?”  NCICA’s membership numbers are reasonable at this time; in order to maintain the national’s viability it is time to reach out and touch recent and present members of the Mil Intel community.   Recent groups that have done this are Northern Ohio and Columbus Groups; San Francisco, Northern California under Chuck Dionis;  Stan Solin heads the Southern California CIC Group (SOCALCIC).  A good example of group effort is Southern Arizona CIC Association (SACICA) and its consideration of recruitment of active duty personnel in Southern Arizona as well as joint meeting with AFIO.  For contact information check out the web page in this website for each of the specific Groups.  When we left the ‘Bird or the Mil Intel training outfits we were cautioned to say nothing of our mission, to discuss nothing about our Intelligence affiliations and in general remain Silent.  A caveat that for us lasted fifty five years and more for some.  We know that there are many facets of our activities that even today are not divulged or discussed.  BUT! It is time that we (at least in a whisper) let our present intel world know we were, we are, we invite you to join us.
