Who is Responsible for Uniforms?

[ladyreferee]

I also think the CAPR 20-1 is confusing on this point.  Who is ultimately responsible for the proper wearing of uniforms?  In our composite squadron, we don't have a leadership officer which in CAPR20-1, it says that the uniforms of the cadets are his responsibility - but we do have a Deputy Commander of Cadets - is he then responsible for the cadet's uniforms?  Then under Personnel, it says uniforms.  Whose?  Just seniors, or cadets too?  And then in the SUI, it asks the cadet programs officer if wearing the uniform properly is being taught, but on the personnel SUI it asks IF the uniforms are are being worn properly!  Holy smokes!  Which is it?

Hello Capt,

First and foremost, it is YOU (the uniform wearer) who is responsible for proper wearing of the uniform.  If there is an issue with it, then I follow the chain of command.  If a cadet has a problem, then I would ask the cadet commander or 1st sgt to deal with it.  If they do not, I would ask the Dep Commander of Cadets to step in

Same thing with Seniors.  I would ask, well, me to take care of the issue  :-)  Rarely does a uniform problem need to be brought up to the squadron commander's attention.

Operationally, the proper wear of uniforms falls to the Deputy Commander for Cadets if there is no Leadersip Officer. For seniors, the Commander is responsible. In the ideal unit, the positions listed are responsible, but, as far as I can tell, that unit exists only in someone's wet dreams.

The SUI is somewhat misleading because it covers EVERYTHING possible and is based on the ideal unit which has every position filled by a person and they only have one position each.

Perfect U.S.A....where everyone's uniform is crisp and clean and everyone can march in step.  Reminds me of a....commercial.
