Actually, it was. Please note:

E Item Wear Instruction/Materials
1 Flight Suit Green NOMEX. Flight crew members electing to wear this flight suit
must meet the weight and grooming standards. Worn with the badges
and devices described in Figure 2-19...........7 Scarf A yellow and red CAP command scarf is authorized to be worn tucked
into the neck.

Good to know. Thanks. If there is really a demand for the scarf, bother your wing commanders (thru the chain, of course) and, maybe magic will happen :angel:
I personally think I don't look good in yellow and red...

I will say that I've seen the scarf worn once. When I was a cadet, one of the Air Force pilots in our squadron wore it and it didn't look that bad. I personally wouldn't wear it, but it looks a lot better on a person than in a picture.

If all the scarf has is a bunch of 3 bladed props, any company can make them. The 3 bladed prop is NOT covered by copyright or logo. Put it inside a triangle and there would be problems.

There is also the Command Patch and the USAF/CAP patch at the ends.

Since it seems that no one is able to see the other picture here it is again.

OK I just barfed all over my laptop......

Assuming there was any interest, it would have to be redone - the MAJCOM is two revs old and the CAP-USAF insignia is not really appropriate for wear by members (I know that this is a sore point for them as that is an actual USAF Command).

Whatever you call it, it is "Ho Ho Horrendous" LOL

As for "it's an Air Force thing". Most aircrew members avoided wearing scarves at all costs.
Usually seen when attending "mandatory fun" sessions like Wing Safety Meetings.
They serve no useful purpose because they won't absorb sweat or keep you warm.
About the only thing they're good for might be as a tourniquet.

I have already stated that I know they serve no real purpose, there are just a few that I know, including myself that want them, if for no other reason than they are CAP uniform items.

FTW! "mutant chicken tracks".. no way. Just... No.

You could also use it to hang yourself when about to suffer death by powerpoint...

PaulR · January 11, 2011, 06:00:59 PM

Why hang yourself when you could use it to garrote the presenter. After all, he/she is the one with the crappy powerpoint! LOL

I now regret having asked what it was.

SarDragon · January 11, 2011, 06:45:44 PM

Paul, this is a tough crowd!

bosshawk · January 11, 2011, 06:48:04 PM

Yes, Dave, it is.

Jeesh. If someone cannot make fun of a garment accessory that is obviously hidious [color=red](disclaimer: completely my opinion, which may or may not be shared by others) [/color] , what else is there?

I did not mean to make anyone feel offended or feel personally attacked( and still dont understand how I could have ). Regardless, I render my deepest apologies to anyone I may have upset.

bosshawk · January 11, 2011, 07:35:42 PM

You certainly didn't offend me: I am too old and have too many miles under my belt to be offended by most of what is offered on CT. What I was referring to was the plethora of responses to a simple question. On CT, if one wants to see five pages of comments, one has only to raise a simple uniform question.

PaulR · January 11, 2011, 07:51:50 PM

Yes sir,

I understand.

Too bad, I liked it, its quite sharp and the colors are great; especially since gold is an Air Force color of honor and the red three-bladed propellor is for obvious reasons...our wartime heritage.

The thing I think is real interesting is that I really wonder how valid the last revision of the command patch is. The scarf has the original that remains highly preferred and I have other things obtained since the third change that have U.S. under the triangle...Hmmmm.
