Acronym page issue
We should take care that this is an Acronym list, not a definition database. Things like Grade, Rank, 101 Card, and CAPWATCH are not acronyms, but terms used in CAP. They should just be entries in the Wiki, not listed in this article.
Items like ReadyOp, L-Per, and OpsQuals are abbreviations, not acronyms.
All of these use cases should be removed at some point and moved to their own articles or a separate Abbreviations article. Cengland (talk) 10:16, 22 October 2024 (EDT)

- The whole point of a Wikipedia is to be a series of definitions and explanations, so no need for a separate list. Things like "Grade" or "Rank" should simply be pages here in the Wiki. If you want to know what Grade is, you search for it. Conversely, if you want to know what "SET" is, you search and/or look in a list like this page.
