Yes, but this movie is from 1964 and the cadet ribbons at the time were different.  So CAP copied the ribbon designs from a Disney movie.  I wonder if a C&D is on order - or else we include firing a signal canon on top of a house as part of the Curry achievement.

I wasn't thinking about the date. Good point.
I would have mind firing a canon from a roof top when I took my Curry test!
But that was a long time ago... I don't think that was even thought about with the new L2L.  ;)
CAP is what you make of it. If you don't put anything in to it, you won't get anything out of it.

Folks -

canon = the body of rules, principles, or standards accepted as axiomatic and universally binding in a field of study or art; or a Japanese camera brand

cannon = a mounted gun for firing heavy projectiles

As for CAP stealing ribbons, the colors on the new ribbons match the colors on the olde ribbons, and the patterns are similar, so I don't think it's a big deal.  ;)

The CAP ribbons aren't exclusive to CAP, many of the ribbons we wear are obsolete military ribbons (CAC= Byrd Antarctic Expedition Medal, SAR Ribbon= Presidential Unit Citation without the frame, etc). Others are used by the several  States  for National Guard awards.   The ribbon the VADM wore in Mary Poppins was probably the Order of Saints Michael and George which is one of the premier British orders of chivalry.
