I will deferentially inform my leadership to conduct weekly inspections.

Also, lumping a belt that will hold my pants on my gut better with berets, bells and whistles and orange hats is just not right. Those issues are miles apart.

Oh, almost forgot.

"I have seen many cadets just wear the blues belt with the chrome buckle.  I dont make a bif deal about it but I do inform them that they need to get the BDU belt. "

How would you feel if one of them took note of your UA rigger belt and had some nice words for you?

If you are going to correct someone, then, you should first be correct.  As an NCO in the .mil, when inspecting my guys, I did not make an issue out of something if I were out of compliance myself.  So, I tried to set the example.  I may not have been 100% all the time, but, you temper that with common sense and discretion.

If you are a ranking cadet, or a SM, you should be setting a good example, and practice mentoring those subordinate to you.

Not really.  It all goes back to following orders and regulations, whether it is the color of your socks, BDUs, or type of belt. 

The regulation manual is there for a reason.

You are lumping those who want to be flashy and stand out with those who wear a thicker belt. Not quite the same in my book.

Ok, it's not the same in your book.  However, the book that matters is 39-1.

Unfortunately it only seems to matter when enforced.

I never said I wear a rigger belt you just assumed that, its a enhanced bdu belt(navy blue in color manufactured by BH).

I think we all can agree that CAP need sto get permission to wear the enhanced BDU belt or riggers belt.

Yes.  100%.  Along with some other common sense things.
