The advantage to dating yourself is that you only buy half as much popcorn.

Might've been a good idea to un-kill this thread. The Air Force has gone back to the "class A," "class B" terminology.


CAP since 1984: Lt Col; former C/Lt Col; MO, MRO, MS, IO; former sq CC/CD/PA; group, wing, region PA, natl cmte mbr, nat'l staff member.
REAL LIFE: Working journalist in SPG, DTW (News), SRQ, PIT (Trib), 2D1, WVI, W22; editor, desk chief, designer, photog, columnist, reporter, graphics guy, visual editor, but not all at once. Now a communications manager for an international multisport venue.

But CAP, as of right now, hasn't. Making this guess is no different than the ABU guess.

I don't know what the AF uniform history is, but CAP has not officially used that nomenclature since before I joined in 1964. I have copies of the uni regs to substantiate that.

Only an NCO can wear what?

Also using the word "lie" in the same sentences as "my commander" is not a good idea on the internet.  Being incorrect isn't the same
as lying.

Yup.  But I have heard of some units not allowing cadets to wear a service coat unless they were staff or a C/NCO and above.  Don't know how much truth there is to that though..

I've seen that too. Commander's discretion I guess, hopefully properly documented in a unit OI, but not a "lie".

If true, that's completely idioitic and a change of command is needed.

Or perhaps an issue with supply. If there's not enough to go around, it is well within the CC's right to say that. Or he could say if there's not enough, then no one gets to wear it.

They can try to justify it however they want - it's idiotic.

Really?  I can think of any number of reasons why to do it that way.

a) Status symbol for NCO's and above.....just like the service hat is restricted to Officers.
b) Limited supply train of the service coats....so they limit them to those who have acheived/show commitment to the CAP program.
c) Uniformity (sort of).....you don't want C/AB Newguy thinking he has to go buy a $100 service coat....and being the only Airman in a service coat.

Not idiotic at all.
