The Army's official adoption date of the Stetson will be April Fool's Day, 2012.

I get bonus cool points for calling it before reading it.

...you'd be amazed at how many Army guys are seriously debating this right now on Facebook. lol

By sundown today, there will be at least 3 pages of comments on this blog, CAP people wanting to know when they can order their own Stetsons(in AF blue).

CAP wings will be legal, but no US Military badges that have been earned. Unearned badges can continue to be worn.

Sadly sounds about right for CAP.

Oh, and I wonder how many members are getting excited at the thought of this...
