"Civil Air Patrol" on the uniform multiple times?

[etodd]

in that order and in the same size letters, why do you believe it necessary for a CAP unit to show the words the other way around and have US AIR FORCE AUXILIARY in smaller letters in order to "...get this crap straight?" Shouldn't you be either quoting a regulation about now, ie producing a letter of appointment as the "Get This Crap Straight " arbiter?

In my view, since we are 'Civil' (civilians) 99% of the time ... that should be the main emphasis when the general public sees us. They always confuse our Cadets with ROTC folks the vast majority of the time as it is.  We're a bunch of non-paid volunteers. CIVILian Air Patrol.

You are certainly entitled to your view. But your view doesn't require adoption by anyone else.

Uh, isn't equal size, Civil Air Patrol on the bottom the way the words appear on the corporate seal?

So it's not exactly a new issue apparently.

What's the name of this organization?

Civil Air Patrol.

What's the legal status of this organization?

Uniformed civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. When acting as a federal instrumentality, the lowercase A jumps to uppercase.

So what's the name of this organization?

Civil Air Patrol.

That settles it. PLs 476 and 557 nailed it. The seal flips the name for the status, as a way to hew closer to the parent organization, but it doesn't change our name.
