Updating the Cadet Honor Guard/Color Guard Uniforms?

[OldGuard]

I was a cadet and prior service Army Honor Guard "Continental Color Guard". As a cadet I went to NCC twice and we had tailored uniforms that were purchased by the squadron. The HG uniform is ugly but if the cadets want to wear it I support them.

Exactly. Just because a an individual don't have a taste for a certain uniform it does not mean that everybody has to follow suit. If a squadron wants to have the HG uniform and they can afford them, more power to them. If others can't and are ok with it then good for them but to take away something because it costs more is not our call. I understand that the main point of HG is the duty, but if they want a fancy uniform with it then that's up to that unit. There are more important issues in CAP. I have gotten uniforms and all the bells and whistles on my previous unit by getting sponsors from the local community. There is nothing wrong with wanting to stand out.
