Proposed Corporate Uniform Changes

[SDF_Specialist]

I'm all for wearing the badges you've earned. The only thing is I think that wearing four badges on the blues is a little excessive. I've seen this once. The person had a ribbon rack of probably 23-24 ribbons, GT badge, and three specialty track badges. My only question was "is that person trying to rival Patton with decorations?" I like the fact that on the corporate uniform, only two badges are authorized. It makes you appreciate the uniform a little more since it isn't cluttered with things that make people's heads swell.

I could agree with that.  But whatever the number, it should be the same on each uniform.

As far as the grooming standards go, long hair and full beard = no just no.

Again, I'm not arguing about whether you should have those, only that since those members are allowed, they should be allowed to wear any corporate uniform.

Yes, it should be the same on each uniform. So why not do this, two specialty badges; one for each pocket. They must be the highest badge earned (i.e. Senior in Comms and Master in PA. Not Master in Comms and a tech in Personnel). The last two I mentioned could be allowed if that's all you have. Like I said, four badges in excessive. Also, two ES badges (i.e. GT, GTL, GBD, MS, MO, Pilot). Minimize the hardware on the uniforms.

I'd actually propose three... two above and one below the ribbons.  The lone badge on the right side looks awkward and out of place - purely asthetic reasons...

True. But to have one above your name plate (not the command badge) is fugly.

When discussing specialty badge placement, do not forget the changes/allowances for female CAP members -- i.e. allowing one specialty badge ABOVE the name plate on the right (so it doesn't look like a nipple sticking out at breast level BELOW the name plate).

Instead of the only highest, allow for badges that the member is currently working in. For example, my highest badges are senior CP and Admin, but I don't work in CP any more. I work in PD (Tech) and admin.(plus a few others)

Pineda wanted something to wear his ribbons and badges on, but anyone could look at him and tell he shouldn't have been wearing AF service dress.

I've often wondered about that; every time I've met him, he's been in BDUs
