IC Badge

LtCol Hooligan · March 05, 2008, 08:03:05 PM

I was attempting to navigate Vanguards site today and found the metal IC badges. Anyone know if there are cloth ones available yet?

Not as of the last time anyone in my Group checked, which was about a month ago.

I emailed them about it a couple of months ago, they haven't seen fit to give me the courtesy of a reply...

If you call the 800 number (the one for the Virginia location) ask for the folks that work with the Civil Air Patrol. You normally don't have to wait on hold for very long, and they will be happy to answer your questions. They really are nice people that are trying hard.

E-mail has been hit and miss. But, part of that could be an internal routing issue.

Does it matter that they called me yesterday to say they were going thru their records & found an invoice they didn't charge me for & tried to do so, despite the fact that they charged me for it five times in the first place & big ole hassle to get my money back never got any order... those are the trying hard folks you're talking about?

^ Man......thats a bummer. I hope your response was "Vanguard what?"

Little less repeatable then that. Yet to call them back yet, but USAA blocked it. I do like USAA. If you can figure out how to let them deal with our orders I'll be quite happy.

I haven't seen it available yet, I think it falls into the same category as the 3 tier EMT badge: metal available; cloth in R/D.

Off topic but, USAA rocks! I have used them for almost eight years and have never once been disappointed. USAA are one of the few military banks/ Insurance companies that will send a rep to a unit to discuss deployment financials.

I highly reccomend everyone in the military to check them out. There was talk about 5 years ago to get CAP partnered with them. I do believe Texas Wing was doing the lead on that one. I was very hopefull.

That would be a VERY good benefit for CAP members. Their auto ins rocks too.

Where does one find the definition (requirements) for BASIC, Senior and Master ratings for the IC badge?

Short Field · October 28, 2008, 10:17:23 PM

CAP/CC Letter, Change to CAPM 39-1, 25 Jan 2008

e. Incident Commander Badge. Effective 10 July 2007, a three level specialty
insignia was approved for those members qualifying as Incident Commanders under
CAPR 60-3. The senior badge is worn by members earning the IC-2 rating and the
master badge by those earning the IC-1 rating. The badge is worn in the same position
as the Ground Team Badge and other specialty insignia.

Thanks. I spent a good hour rummaging around through board meeting minutes, and other notes and couldn't find it.

bosshawk · October 29, 2008, 05:13:32 AM

Totally off subject, but I concur on all the positive comments about USAA. I have been a member since Sept 1960 and have been a customer of the bank for about the last 10 years. Wouldn't deal with anyone else for insurance or banking.

25k loan on just my signature for 1.99% over 5yrs, no payments till Jan... yeah that don't suck.

I just got an IC badge from VG and like usual it looks very cheap, Not the design they way its made. I think the design is great and I honestly do not think anyone could mistake them for Jump wings that I also have. The pilot wings look a tad bit better than the IC badge. I do like the finish on the hocks as it not quite as toyish looking. Good news is I could wear them all at the same time
We have come a long ways as when I joined in 1975 they used ss#'s. I understand why they had to give that up
Merry Christmas all and may each of you receive a G1000 in your stocking.

I forgot my original qyestion and that is I know the differance between
IC3 and the very much controled IC1 But what is the differance in the
IC2, it was hard enough getting the IC3 and I am not sure I am Up to the IC2, Good part about renewing the IC is the long list of items you requalify for when you renew it.
