That's neat. Are those within regs?

Yep.

Ok. They are not very common but I guess they are withing regs.
Thanks

Eclipse-

Next time we make something like that, I guess we may need to place red arrows pointing to the example.

The cadet in the last pic is obviously going for the Beetle Bailey look.

no member in CAP while wearing the CAP uniform will be wearing a "cover." We are not marines or sailors. In Civil Air Patrol and the AF they are called caps or hats.

"(Hat not included)."

With the varied active duty backgrounds of many of our members .. cover, hat, whatever. It works. We all know what they mean.

Split hairs if you want to, but with the acronym of our organization sounding exactly the same as the item placed on ones head, I welcome the 'different' term.

It's like the Lego company having fits over people calling them "Legos", instead of "Lego Bricks", or IACE, "Aye-ace", vs. "I.A.C.E.". It's a battle that will never end. There will be peace in the middle east first.

Shuman-

I think you misinterpreted the term "cover" in your Vanguard link.

The term "cover" is not for the hat but for the plastic thingie that "covers" the cap in case of rain or snow. In other words it is a "cap cover."

And if we wear it over OUR headgear it is a "CAP cap cover"...

Now he will tell us he knew it all along, and did it to see who would correct him!

And we all know that no matter what we place on our heads is "Covers" them

Here's one vote!

Pros:
Cool (temperature)
Cool (awesome)
Lightweight
Provides protection against small debris
It provides a MAJOR distinction between us and the Air Force.

Cons:
People who think we are the Army (it happens) would think we were NVA, VC, etc.

Some of you argue that CAP should wear items that the US Army has worn because we are the Air Force Auxiliary and the Air Force came from the Army.

So... since the United States Army wore the spiked Pith Helmet, why are you now saying that the CAP should not wear the Pith Helmet?

It was standard in 1881!

Move down to post #26.
