Blue Golf Shirt Wear & Trousers Requirements!!!

[JC004]

  Wow, anybody see the recent picture on the CAP website for news showing the pilot from NV wing wearing the Blue Golf Shirts with the CAP emblem & his name/aero rating BUT he was wearing denim jeans rather than those medium grey pants.  Personally, I see no reason why other pants styles & colors can't be worn with those blue Golf shirts.  Personally I kind of like the denim blue jeans idea..  Perhaps NV wing has supplemented the uniform manual.    

When you put the kibosh on PAWG and CAWG then you can come complain about some old timer wearing his blue jeans.  At least he had his CAP polo on.

Don't destroy my wing.  I need something to conquer.

^^ And I need to invade, I mean take over, opps, join 

...and after I arm the wing, we are convoying to VA for a discussion with Vanguard

Then we are going to "tour" Maxwell AFB, shortly after discussing Prostitution in NV as a fund raiser.

Folks just can't "get casual" without looking like a slob, I guess.  What's next?  Oversized pants and a backward hat?

Must look very professional...maybe I can wear a my golf shirt with my "Tom and Jerry" PJs.

As you can tell, I am no fan of the Golf Shirt.

Really, I hadn't noticed.

National Hq should not have allowed a photo of an unauthorized uniform combination to be published in the Volunteer Magazine in the first place.

Good I like the idea of a shotgun divorce!

[Major Carrales]

Really...  I avoid the things in my own wear...also, a Tee Shirt is underwear.  I would say my normal dress is 95% button shirts.  It's not "painful" to wear them.

Public Affairs at NHQ used to really have a reputation for catching these sorts of things, but they really seemed to have slipped the last few years.

I wonder what happened when the wing commander saw the picture? Maybe nothing or possibly uniform counseling. Any uniform can be worn improperly if permitted, heck I've seen people wearing BDU's and flight suits with tennis shoes, talk about standing out. Yes there was a counseling session on the spot. I like the golf shirt and slacks because it's easy to put on and comfortable in the heat of summer.

Everyone in a Nomex flight suit has my admiration in August when the temps and humidity go crazy.

The answer is knowledgeable enforcement of the regulations as written. Of course that means the people in charge have to know what the rules are. That's another discussion string.

No...really!    Remember the Chaplains in the ACUs?  A few years ago I submitted some photos of my cadets doing a flag ceremony and everyone of them got axed because none of the cadets were in 100% correct uniforms.  Some where wearing Gortex, some did no have wing patches on, and one did not have a white on blue name tape.

But on the other side of the proverbial coin.  It is better to get faces and name in the paper than to insure that everyone is 100% correct in uniform.

[Major Carrales]

This is an example of "the continually slidding line."  If people can't wear service dress correctly, we created a golf shirt combo with grey pants...no jeans.  So then someone wears jeans.  So then they allow jeans, but in a good condition...not faded and no tears.  Then someone wears them faded...so we draw the line again.

I always considered the golf shirt as a recreational uniform...and I use the term uniform lightly.  I wouldn't want to see one on a mission. 

[arajca]

I've started seeing it more at mission bases. Usually worn by pilots and aircrew who are not in flight positions, i.e. AOBD, brief/debrief, safety, etc. It is good for that because it makes it a little easier to determine which flying types should be in the back of the mission base and which should be in the staging areas. Plus, it provides a - dare I say it - UNIFORM appearance for the staff.

[lordmonar]

The Polo shirt was a popular option for the ICS/MBC guys at NESA.

It's also a good combination for those who go to their squadron meetings straight from work easier to change into.  Sometimes it's as easy as changing your shirt. 

Also for any non-air crew members it's a great flying uniform in the summer when it gets very hot in that cabin.

[jimmydeanno]

I wear the golf shirt and polo shirt combos occassionally.  I think I look mighty dapper in them.  I think they present a professional appearance to people who don't understand the whole 'military' thing and makes you a little more approachable in those situations.

However, I do think that many people miss the intent of the uniform.

When I wear mine, I wear the Polo Shirt w/ Observer Wings, a plain black leather belt with open style silver buckle, charcoal grey dress slacks-no pleats, black un-patterned dress socks, and black leather shoes (http://www.florsheim.com/flstore/style.do?cID=10448).

Personally, I don't think that light grey looks all that good with the polos or grey/white and I don't think that cargo pants are appropriate either.  Honestly, I think they should pick a style and shade, make them available through vanguard and call it a day.

Now that would be too easy.  Much better to leave it vague and we all fend for ourselves.

You really want Scranton ?

Dude, Dramamine is your friend ...

Some portions of the wing will be auctioned off after my take-over.  I've been planning this all out since I was a cadidiot.

CAP RAPPER!


Boom ba boom ba boom...
