My point exactly, so perhaps the best tack is to offer services, then disengage if there are too many asterisks.

As far as knowing what the wardrobe is for CA law enforcement, fire and NG I think your knowledge is limited.

.. and if you read that, you can see where it was "suggested", that it's a "nationally recognized" thing, and NHQ went along with it.  Basically, they want NO BDU's (cadets exempted), and thus NO rank.

They allow CAP aviation badges, but the uniform itself can't be worn for aviation purposes. 2nd on the list is the golf shirt combo, with ANSI orange, of course.

Amazing - it's superhero important for everyone to wear orange...

...um, except we can't mandate cadets wear it, so...

...um...I guess they don't have to?

Pogo would be proud.

Also...

This supplement does not change the fact that a reflective vest is still required, as the vest is considered "equipment".

Just to muddy the waters, I'll tell you that my county SAR team wears red shirts.  If needed, we wear a reflective vest over the red.  And, we are in CA.

Facts should never interfere with conjecture.  Everyone in CA wears orange.

Um, that is dependent upon the county.  The orange is a suggested practice in CA not a requirement per CalEMA to create unity.  The Sheriff still retains the ultimate decision on what his/her SAR teams wear and how they are equipped.  CalEMA cannot nor can the state require it to be mandatory without shelling out the bucks to equip each agency.  With how the budget problems there are now this would be axed right away.

Except that in this case, CAP chose to thin it's ranks of available assets because it in effect, booted people from availability. At the same time they run around saying they need more.

Which is it?

Does that include aircrew since the boots and nomex requirement?

Your attempt at being facetious just comes across as being snarky.
