What are the chances of this being adopted at NB?

I like the idea of the blue shirt.  However, we do need to get some red in there somewhere.  Since our colors are red, white, & blue.    Maybe the rank sleeves could be red, with CAP in white and the rank in the appropriate color.

What is your thing with red epaulettes?

He's a troll. Plain and simple. He knows exactly what kind of response he'd get for that crap.

VERY Bright Red sleeves, white CAP, and regular rank.   Red background with white lettering on name tags.  (basically as I've said with the Blue BDU's for everyone also).

Hmm, I don't see our aircraft flying around painted grey.  The aircraft are painted in red, white, and blue scheme.  Stands to reason that our uniforms need to match the aircraft color.    Surely this would indicate VERY clearly in very low light conditions that we are the CIVIL AIR PATROL

Surely everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Isn't that what America is about

I honestly don't mind the "BBDU with red and white for all" idea. I think it would do a good job of setting us apart while still looking fairly military. But on the other hand, I don't have any major quips about our uniforms as is. I guess like RM said, we're all entitled to our own opinions

[HGjunkie]

Your freedom ends where mine begins.

And everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but everyone else is entitled to ignore said opinions as well.

Why? Last I checked the AF, USMC and USN flew gray aircraft and the Army flew green. They all wear blue uniforms. Only the Marines have any red. The red, white and blue paint scheme is a recent addition to the fleet. You only mentioned red because you wanted to stir the pot.

Yes it is. You have stated your opinion time and time again. I'm entitled to my opinion too: you are a troll.

Members should not match aircraft.  It is clearly a safety hazard to match aircraft, just as it is a safety hazard to match trees.  Ideally, members should not match anything anywhere and a distinctive color should be made up that has never existed before because it is the CIVIL AIR PATROL.

Or something...

[AngelWings]

Too much about changing uniforms has it is.

And once that's done, you can then start arguing that we don't need uniforms, and shouldn't have to bother with that whole Air Force thing. May as well just turn it into that flying club you've been dreaming for.

Why do you even bother staying within an organization that is clearly not arranged the way you want it to be? It doesn't actually provide any benefit to you. Or do you reason that since you're paying dues, you have the right to demand things be done your way?

Yes, go to red epaulets. And put an S on them for Senior member.  Oh wait, the Salvation Army has already done that.

Non issue. Go for "SM", and change meaning to "Super Member"
