The Public Affairs Officers should be sending out updates like this to the average members. All PAOs should take the blame on this.

Huh? ???

NHQ has to relay through eservices and email as well as the Wing PAOs should send updated information to changes that occur.

Would you care to try that again in something other than "genuine frontier gibberish"?

To add a little fuel to this I just got out my calipers and my wallet. My IN drivers license is .036" thick, that's 20 ga for you metal heads out there. My debit card is .030 or 22 ga. My old but still current for the next 11 days CAPID is also .030. My new ID is .019, just over half that of the old one. I think that's thinner than the aluminium Cessna uses to build airplanes. For reference, printer paper is .004 which is only 1/5 that of the new ID card.

And?

I got only one quesiton about the new card....will it last the year. 
Other then that it fits the bill required of a CAP ID card.

He wasn't the only one.. I measured them, too. .. and just laughed. As for "will it last a year", well... We will see. :)

There's calipers on the computer desk nearly constantly here, so I can't help but measure stuff.

Yes I do. Victim of the economy. I also just put a new battery in them and figured I might as well do something semi useful with them.

If I get that thin flimsy thing for the next ID card, I'm going to just stop offering it at the gate. They already have made comments about this "cheesy" card, with it's corrupt looking gif graphic on it. One asked me if I just made it. 95% of the time no one says anything anyway. But..  it's a joke.

A few years back I was issued a "flimsy" retired ID from Pendleton.  Got challenged a few times but told them, "You guys issued it to me".  Fortunately, Uncle Sam has decided to remove you Social Security number from the cards and that fixed the problem.  Short version, CAP isn't the only organization that issues flimsy, cheesy, cards.
