In which our squadron presents the colors...

It looks like our sensibilities sensors are tuned up too high!!!

Is everyone here going to get offended regardless of what other people say?

Yes. Welcome to CAPTalk, the domain of crusty SM's and oversensitive people.

You forgot Home of the Drama Queens

You also forgot "Home of the CAPDCCMOMs Who 'come from five generations of Marine NCO's [sic].'"  So "save the lecture on what you think the challenge coin means..."     Lighten up, Francis.

I think you posted this answer in the wrong thread... This is not a challenge coin thread... but Posting the Colors instead...

I didn't count, but I think that this thread has gone through four or five different topics!

Mr. Ramos is right. It's a great photo.

A month or two ago, I trained a color guard to perform in a similar environment. I was unable to be at the event, but I trusted my people to get it done. They did fairly well, although here were a couple of glitches. Overall, I was pleased. My cadets, and the cadets who were in he original picture in this thread have taken the time out of their day to serve the CAP and their country. So what if it wasn't perfect? They are only kids. Of course we should train for perfection, but we shouldn't expect it. What we should do is challenge every cadet to give 100% at whatever they do.

Great job guys, and keep serving the CAP and your country!
