New uniform

[SarDragon]

do you mean ADU's? Well, than, no. I talked to  Col. Taylor (She's from AZ wing) And she informed me that we are not getting the new uniforms. 

Ask all 52 Wing Commanders and I guarantee you you will get 52 different answers. Nothing is known for sure right now, one way or another. Wait and see what CAP-USAF and NHQ say, those are the only official sources.

Also there is no such creature as the "ADU". It's ABU - Airman Battle Uniform. This constant misnomer of terms simply shows how pitiful the rumor mill in CAP can be at times.

Airman Battle Uniform? I heard it was: Alternate Dress Uniform..... 

No such animal in CAP. Apparently, someone has assigned their own name to some, as yet undetermined, uniform combination. If it isn't in CAPM 39-1, or one of the ICLs, it just doesn't exist as an official CAP uniform.

Can we call it CAPU? Civil Air Patrol Uniform

I just talked to my Brother, (He's a 2nd Lt.) And he said they might be called: ACU's.  He said that stood for: Alternate Combat Uniform... He said there's no such thing as: Airman Battle Uniform, because that type of uniform isn't only for the Air-force....

Ohhhhh.... I see...

Maybe he was talking about the OCP uniform- Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern uniform also known as multicam.  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/MultiCam-trans.jpg

Ohhhhh.... I see...

And the boonie hat really was one of the few highlights of being deployed. The ACU boonie hat is not typically authorized in CONUS.

We were never allowed boonies in the boonies. Not counting overseas.

I love the boots.  They look like work boots you can buy at walmart.

I think the NWU Type III is by far the best.  Only if they didnt incorporate the Anchor and Eagle into the pattern

Whyzat? They have Navy written all over them, and bear little, if any, resemblance to any AF uniform currently or formerly in use. If you think there's a recognition problem now, you ain't see nuttin' yet!

Did i miss something? I didnt see a message, email, ICL, or any other communication stating this.  The only official word so far i have seen is that there will be no uniform changes until they are all reviewed at summer board in August.  You can see it here...   https://www.capnhq.gov/news/news28Dec11.htm

Reads to me like its pretty open after that. We won't know till then.

I heard from a trucker at a truck stop while passing through Fargo ND that we will be getting maroon and grey digtial BDU'S with the Prop thingy on the pocket.  With red boots so we dont look to military

Well, okay. We won't get any of these in the forseeable future. If you really want to read into my comment in such a way, then go for it.

A whle back some one posted a pic of a possible CAP  utlity uniform in OD green in a ACU pattren, pretty nice looking and practical.
