I once Photoshopped a name onto a certificate after an Of-The-Year Award was presented without the person's name. Photos were already taken, and there was no chance to repair the situation. So I put it into Adobe and even made the glass frame reflect appear over the text. As good as new!

Vanguard, last I heard.

Quote from: Matthew Klempner on May 14, 2024, 07:13:23 PMfew years from now.

 

Seriously, there's no need to delay. The COVID-19 shortages are over. The Army (AC, RC, NG), the Air Force (AC, RC, NG) and the Space Force (AC, RC, NG) have ALL completed their transitions to OCPs. The uniform is readily available from AAFES and numerous commercial vendors.

So why the delay?

From what Maj Gen. Edward D. Phelka has stated at the Pacific Region Confrence, Phelka is currently communicating with the U.S. Air Force to adopt this uniform in the few years from now.

Quote from: baronet68 on May 10, 2024, 10:38:01 PMBy Apr 1983 they were up to 907XXX.

In May 81, we were at 798XXX. Cuz mine started that way.

I joined the first time in 1991-1994. I was out until 2019. At that time I was reissued my original ID Number, 136174.

That's the way it's supposed to work.

Quote from: SarDragon on May 10, 2024, 04:47:06 AMBy 1971, SM CAPSNs were changed to their SSANs. I don't know when the same thing was done for cadets.

Circa 1983, NHQ preferred SSN but if cadets didn't have an SSN, NHQ would issue 6-digit numbers.  At that time, I'd estimate about 1-in-50 cadets had a 6-digit number...

Quote from: PHall on May 10, 2024, 02:00:46 PMYep, in Dec 1969 we were up to 691XXX.

By Apr 1983 they were up to 907XXX.

Yep, in Dec 1969 we were up to 691XXX.

FWIW, when I joined as a cadet in '69, I received a CAPSN of 688XXX.  When I turned senior in 1975, I was initially assigned a "new" CAPSN of 000688XXX.  (NHQ just added 3 leading zeros to my cadet number.)

Not long thereafter, they required that I provide my SSN, which subsequently appeared on my membership card until the new system arrived and I received my CAPID as 145XXX.

Somewhere, I have every CAP membership card I ever received.  I'm sure the national historical center will want them someday.
