need to know if the old style class A service coat can still be used

What people call things is irrelevant. Only the truth matters.

What is truth?

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

I disagree. Once you start going down that road, you eventually end up at a bad place, regulation following wise.

Is it really that hard to say 'Full Service Dress' or 'Short Sleeve' service dress, compared to 'Class A' or 'Class B with short sleeve shirt.'

If you can't even call it the right thing, you might not be able to wear it the right way.

So, I guess I should question your ability to wear the uniform properly too then? Hint, hint.

MAKE sure Cadets wear the same shade pants with the old style jacket, it looks silly if they don't

IAW CAPM 39-1 the coat and trousers MUST match in shade and weave.  If you are wearing the 1625s you got from FCU/CUP with and old stye service coat... You are wrong.  Which odds are most cadets are.

Yeah know I see a lot of pettiness here.  Class A, Class B, Service coat.  Gad, I still call the Service Coat a blouse and I've been calling it that for 48 years.  It's all those dang numbers that throw me.     Grrrr

Hint taken.

But I'll stand inspection anyday of the week.

A regulation telling you not to call something by some other name isn't required. There's a regulation stating what name is to be used for this uniform combination and that's SERVICE DRESS.

I don't know if 'truth' is the correct word Captain, but I definately agree with the spirite of your post. Theres the right way to call something, and the wrong way.

If an EMT is working with a patient, he wouldn't say 'Give me that thingamagig' when he needs a C-Collar.

Actually, it depends on who your partner is. I had the same partner on a unit for over 2 years and all I had to say was "next" as I held out my hand and got whatever it was I needed. They say great minds think alike.  But... I see your point.

^  Yes but CAPNHQ can't even get grade abreviations correct in all areas.  That should be the simplest thing to do. 

And we both know that issue has been addressed ad nauseum, so why whack the dead horse again?

Perhaps someone will ACT UPON IT!
