A Confirmation of Sorts

[tdepp]

No where did I say or imply that CAP members should not abide by the uniform regulations or any other regulations.  I'm just saying that in the grand scheme of things, it's better to perform well than look good, but that we should strive to do both.

Not the impression I got from your post. Too many people have this idea that doing a job is more important than appearance. The problem is that many don't seem to realize that appearance is part of the job. All pubs are important. You want to pick and choose what you want, go to a cafeteria.

Ok Hawk, I'll make this as clear as I can: WEAR YOUR CAP UNIFORM WITH PRIDE AND COMPLY WITH ALL REGULATIONS CONCERNING UNIFORM WEAR! 

Any questions?

I already do, and I'll make this clear to you: I expect the same attention to detail and proper uniform wear from you and anyone else in CAP.

Many people just don't want to be associated with the ash and trash of people that can't follow something other than their own uncontrolled impulses.

Hawk:
So, I should be expecting a visit from you soon to make sure my uniform is correct? I have an insignia measuring tool of my own, so you can pack light.  I believe my squadron commander has this well in hand but perhaps he wouldn't mind the help.

BTW, I was at our squadron HQ at 0810 this morning (a Saturday on my day off) cleaning toilets and windows.  I hope I had the appropriate uniform on and that it was properly worn.  Otherwise, I guess I shouldn't have shown up.  I'll let you know when the next latrine cleaning mission is so you can assist with that after you inspect my uniform.  I wouldn't mind being sent home to change because my squadron patch is a 1/16th of inch off of where it should be.  I know CAP wouldn't want me sticking my hands in a crapper if my uniform was not in total and complete compliance with the regulations or your interpretation of the regulations.

Thank you for your generous offer of assistance.  In the meantime, I will be developing a set of squadron regulations on the appropriate type of toilet brush to use and how to use it while on squadron latrine duty.  Would you prefer a PDF or Word version?

*facepalm* is it really that hard to be that acurate? I don't know, I just tell my seamstress what needs to be done and I give them the regulation that pertains to the uniform part in question and I explain to them what it says what it means and hopefully I understand it and so do they (luckily my seamstress is a retired military veteran).

Nice imagination heli,

Actually I have seen a cadet officer wear his service cap while wearing BDUs not intentionally either, but then again he was in violation of 39-1.

No imagination needed

TAC Officer imaginations......your tax dollar at work

..........only Goretex was even around then

Maybe Natick Labs had it on the radar....

Fat fingering after a day at the GX 55  simulator

Goretex  was NOT around during 85-86 era  at least in the US Army

[SarDragon]

Initial Gore-Tex patent granted in 1976; secondary patent granted 1980. The second one was most likely the one used for military outerware.

I was issued my first Goretex Parka and pants in April (first or second week) 1984.
