You're a contestant on a game show.

What a great fund raiser that would be!

Yes, and imagine the Publicity and recruiting. 

More better to have it on Jeopardy.  Makes us look smarter.

Would you wear an appropiate dress uniform?

You bet I would!  (After I return to CAP).  I hope you read that, SarDragon!

I would wear the Distinctive Service Dress Uniform* (minus the gawdy and ugly service dress coat; I would wear the black leather A-2 instead).

Perfectly appropriate, 100% kosher, and a great way to advertise CAP.


*If the DSU were not in existence, then I would just wear the CAP blazer (with nametag and bullion shield) instead.

I wouldn't see the point of wearing CAP uniform on a game show, unless it somehow highlighted CAP. If that's not the purpose, then there is really no reason to wear it. I might, as suggested earlier in the thread, wear a lapel pin.

Well I probably would with permission from my commander... I've always said if I won a bit of money from something I'd give back some to CAP for being somewhat good to me...

It's not really something that he can give you premission for brah.

I think a well done squadron ball cap or even that polo shirt might get a few minutes of "bander."  Bob Barker used to do it all the time.  He once commented on a shirt from Texas (after all he trained as a Naval Avaitor at NAS Corpus Christi) and always did a few seconds to acknowledge a University shirt.  The "thing" then would be how to respond...

Bob Barker/Drew Carey: "Woah, Civil Air Patrol...Corpus Christi Composite Squadron?  Tell me about it..."

CAP Contestant on the Fabulous 60 Minute Price is Right: "uhhh..."

Some times the "Stars in the Eyes" of being on television nation-wide (even pre-recorded) can cause highly intellegent folks to "see the test pattern" in their mind.

Drew Carey is a prior service Marine IIRC... Hence the trademark glasses.

[Stonewall]

^^Yep, he was a Cpl in the USMC Reserves.  Read his book and had a conversation with him for about 10 minutes.

He has more of a Marine hair cut now than then...

Find one that better matches the existing ones, and we'll consider it.

I would only wear the uniform if there was a CAP / AF connection.

The folks who sometimes wear their uniforms, Wheel of Fortune comes to mind,
are there because every now and again the TV show sends a request to the local base for contestants.
