National removed that requirement a few years ago based on the fact that they cost $4.50 and once the Curry Achievement was passed, they wouldn't have a need for them until they became cadet Officers.

This is brilliant. Can we get a limited edition insignia with "75th anniversary" on there somewhere?

The only way this could be worse is if we used it as a hat device. CAP on a cap....

Paul Harvey had a bit years ago talking about Civil Air Patrol where he commented something to the effect that it was worrying that his pilot had CAP on his cap.

The only reason I could see having some sort of insignia for a grade that doesn't have one is to distinguish between a SMWOG and C/AB. No, not all senior members are older and easily recognizable and not being a cadet.

I think, if anything, seniors without grade should have a CAP lapel or something to show that they're seniors. *shrugs*

Realistically...why did we have the CAP cutout for C/ABs instead of...just the shield?

XxXxX_JAMMIN_MEMAYS_XxXxX

 Dude we should design C/AB chevrons and propose them to the national commander. We could gain support by putting a picture showing our support in the signature, like the popular idea, "KILL THE TRIANGLE THINGY".
