When you find a Federal judge who will let CAP or the DOD deny coverage or responsibility because Joe was wearing a crew neck t shirt instead of a v neck like the manual says, you let me know.

The argument all along has been in regards to the absence of a uniform, not a minor infraction.

Minimize the risk all you want, I sincerely hope no one is ever in the position to even have the conversation, however FW has already
said this positon was considered at least twice.

Are you willing to bet your house on this?  Or advise others to?

I'm not.

Oh,so how did this conversation start. It started with someone saying uniform infractions could deny you coverage.

So it is clearly in our best interest to have the regulations ammended removing all uniforms & uniform requirements.  This would eliminate this tort risk, would save money and would reduce the topics of discussion on CAP Talk.  Please read with a sarcastic voice!

I would certainly consider not wearing one an infraction.

Things amped up when Ned (who is hopefully sipping a Mai Tai right now) said that NHQ would never, ever consider uniform issues
in regards to member benefits.  he has experience in these matters, but NHQ is not the sole voice in these situations.

And here we are...

But.. there's precedent ..  8)

Every time this debate starts.. I think of this ad I had stashed. Last evening I found it by chance, whilst thinning papers and going through a "CAP" box. (See Attached)
QuoteAnd we promise: no meetings, no uniforms, unless you want them. Just a chance to be a hero. And you don't get a chance like that too often these days.

How long ago was that? I remember mentioning it in a post a long time ago but I don't think it was this one.  :-[
