NCO Program Launched

[Grumpy]

Awe... but carbonated sugar water is my only vice left. 

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I avoid red meat and fatty foods, I don't do drugs, I don't run thru juicey girls in Itaewon anymore... but I have to have my Dr. Pepper. 

Ah yes, carbonated prune juice.  The wine of the Gods

FTFY. Not appropriate for a family website sir.

Not complaining about a warning, but you do know what JUICY GIRLS are right ? It doesn't sound right but it's not what it seems. Just saying ......

Dunno, urban dictionary describes them as expected....

Would that be you pretty ladies talking troops into paying for overpriced, watered down drinks for a chance to talk with them. Mostly drunks sitting at me bar. Anything else isn't really in the job description. But the name does sound like its describing something dirty and no family oriented.

So, If we get CAP Specific NCO stripes: can we do away with the CAP on the Collar of all the uniforms? and can the "Circle US" be authorized on the Service Coat?  That way we are more in line with Officer uniforms.

I'm sure that the reason that the Embroidered CAP, and the cutouts are worn to help distinguish CAP NCO's from active NCO's.

Pennsylvania Wing issued a Powerpoint presentation of the Civil Air Patrol NCO Program which seems to point at where it's going. I am not sure if it's been put out on their website, or elsewhere.

The NCO stripes have the CAP in the center and the propeller below it. Here is a picture that I copied from the presentation. I am sure you'll recognize that it is quite different than the Active Duty stripes...

The SSGT and TSGT are...hideous

Can you post the PowerPoint?

[MacGruff]

I do not see any disclaimers that do not allow me to post this, so here goes...

[RogueLeader]

I got a email forwarded to my by my Wing Commander (I'm a Squadron CC) that has a lot of details about the NCO program, but I'm not sure of how much- if any- is supposed to be released yet; so please don't ask me to post it.

The SSGT and TSGT are...hideous

Agreed

[abdsp51]

hideous....

[RogueLeader]

The powerpoint showed most of what was in my briefing packet.

[Майор Хаткевич]

SNCOs look...OK...ish.

[RogueLeader]

SNCOs look...OK...ish.

They look a lot better than the SSgt and TSgt.

They certainly are . . .distinctive. . .

[Phil Hirons, Jr.]

How about the prop is red and the CAP in white over it?

[Eclipse]

[Flying Pig]

WOW!  Good luck with that

[Майор Хаткевич]

Quite honestly...it would look better in any other way, without the blue over the 4/5 stripes...

[SARDOC]

By Looking at the powerpoint slides it looks like it's easier to get promoted to Lieutenant Colonel than Chief Master Sergeant.

[Eclipse]

I don't think it looks that bad, though you have to wonder why the CAP is necessary if the prop replaces the star.

The vast majority of NCOs would fall into those first to patches, so get used to them.

Assuming those insignia are the final versions, they probably dropped the red prop for cost.  As shown here it's a single color thread.
