Glendale is the best place to get honor guard and color guard equipment. Start fundraising though, honor guard gear is not cheap.

I've got a few CAP HG ascotts with the patch affixed, that I'd be willing to part with relatively cheaply.

Talk to your local VFW, Legion, POW/MIA Group, or what have you.

A lot of time's they will donate what you need in turn for you presenting the colors with them a few times a year.

My local VFW donated a few things a few years ago and in turn we march right behind them in the parades.

It shows the past hero's and future hero's.  Or so says the post commander

First dude, there's something called capitalization. Comma's are nice to.

Second. Why don't your cadets already have the short sleeve service uniform national issues?

Third. Try local Air Force JROTC units. Try local AFROTC units.

Ok they do have the dress blues, but not honor guard unifoms i was told to get those.

Have any of your people been to HGA? 

If not, they shouldn't be wearing HG uniforms - color guard, maybe, but those are different.

There is nothing that says you have to go to HGA to start an Honor Guard. Certainly it is a good idea, but by no means mandatory.

And Zimmerman, look up the Honor Guard uniform in CAPM 39-1. It is basically regular blues with the addition of the ascot, cord and heel taps. If getting the Service Coat (they are somewhat pricey) is a problem then you can just go with the regular service uniform. Again, look it up in 39-1.

That's incorrect. Reread 39-1.

Try Quartermaster. They are traditionally a supplier of law enforcement type gear but they sell flag harnesses, gloves, and a cheap knockoff of the springfield.

We bought those from there. It aint the best stuff but it's functional and great for the starting detail on a budget.

And CAPP 52-8.

What?!?!  You have to go to HGA to be a member of the HG?

[Pylon]

What?!?!  You have to go to HGA to be a member of the HG?

No, you don't.  But I'm sure it helps to know what you're doing.

True....I just figured "great soemthing else to pay for before you can something in CAP".

The problem is that 39-1 specifily says "color guards" are not to wear the Honor Guard uniform.

My question is......what is the difference between a color guard and the HG Colors Element?

The drill, and an HG can't compete, for a couple things.  And, of course, the uniform.
