Vanguard leather name patches

[wvlawyer02]

I received my leather name patch today from Vanguard.  My name is split left and right now, when my previous name patch had my name centered.  I called Vanguard and was told that is how CAP HQ directed that it be done.  Vanguard agreed it looked bad and all other services center the name.  So I checked the CAP 39-1; Figure 2-19, and the name is clearly centered.  Does anyone know where this direction at CAP HQ comes from or can explain the change?

The creative imagination of the person you spoke to...

Send it back with a change/refund request with a printed copy of the reg.

What version of CAPM39-1 are you looking at? Everything I see in the current version has the name and last name spread left and right.

I am not saying it looks right, but I think Vanguard has a point when they are simply following instructions.

I think what they're saying is that VG is making them like this, which is the USN/USMC standard:





Needless to say, CAP is not the USN/USMC.  We should be defaulting to the USAF standard, which is this:





If NHQ has indeed told VG to make CAP tags to the USN/USMC standard, that needs to be corrected.

Here's my last one ordered from Vanguard:

Having a suffix on one's name (and not wishing to exclude it since I am not my grandfather) makes it even more odd-looking.

Sigh....
