Senior Member Dress coat

If I was the owner of Vanguard, I would hire you and make a killing selling these modified service coats$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Psicorp]

I don't know why this was such a big deal.  After all, the old style with the pockets rippedoff wouldn't look too bad, right??

who could tell the difference??

Umm...the left one is missing the glass of vodka tonic?  Wait a sec...they're both underage...that better be plain cider!

But yeah... *cringe*  especially if the fabric where the pockets were is a tad different shade.  I think my first reaction would be, "oh hell no he didn't!!"

You know, service caps cost a lot.  Can I use a pie plate and stretch my flight cap over it to make a service cap?  I can use a piece of cardboard cut to shape and colored black with shoe polish to make the visor, and I can paint the "Farts and darts" on with white-out.

What do you all think about that?

[SJFedor]

Make two, one for you, and one to go with the jacked up service coat.

Nah, man, you gotta use a silver Sharpie for the farts and darts.

Wait, you mean this??



Way ahead of you Major.  Production starts tomorrow!

Oh, and I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of affixing the cap to the plate with duct tape.  I hope that's not too much of a violation of regulations.....oh, wait, I forgot!  We told the regs to go to H*** back with that service coat!!!


[And yes, I know.  I have too much time on my hands and not enough legit reasons to use Microsoft Paint.]

Specialty badge is way too low.

[CAP428]

Specialty badge is way too low.

Well, I would go tell him what's what but the problem is...it's a generic photo.  I have no idea who it is.  Sorry for the bad pic choice.  Perhaps you can go hunt him down.

That looks more like the Cadet officer insignia on that hat.

I want one.

[CAP428]

I want one.

Allrighty, here's the deelio:  Go to www.civilairpatrolstore.com, find it on line, click "order", follow the instructions.  Pay a large sum for the hat itself, an outrageous fee for shipping, then wait a few months and hope that it somehow floats to your house as if by magic. 

And who said running Vanguard's CAP operation was so difficult?

[SJFedor]

REDACTED: Yeah, that may have been a tad extreme.

I don't expect the new hat to be available from vanguard for a while. Still waiting on them putting up the SFO embroidered grade online.

[MIKE]

Was that really necessary?

[DNall]

  Yep, you guys still got it. Anybody want a slightly used keyboard? Just needs cleaning.

I gotta be out at Sq tmrw & we got tons of old style service coats, I'm almost tempted to find a damaged one one & take the pockets off, put my rack & junk on, snap some pix just for a VA - almost.

Ding, fries are done. What's the next topic?
