Actually, the dark blue background grade insignia is currently authorized for the dark blue flight suit and utility uniforms.

Oops, my bad.  Thanks for the clarification.

I once used the word duel instead of dual and the thread became one about sword fighting and pistols. Not many would have gotten my Burr/Hamilton reference so I let it die. :(

Hi everyone...

Has anyone noticed that there seems to be conflicting information in the new 39-1  ...regarding if CAP members will use dark blue (Navy blue) for name tapes, CAP tapes, and cloth rank?

In particular... compare what is stated on pages 67, 70, and 71.  Then compare that to what is stated (and shown) on page 125.


For the past year or so... it has been expected that those things might change from ultramarine blue... to becoming dark blue (navy blue) like what is used on the CAP flight suit.  I know the answer to this might depend on if we are talking about the BDU or the BBDU.  However, the conflicting information is still there.

now that the long awaited 39-1 has been released... we see that there is conflicting information.


ideas anyone?

Yeah, it almost makes no sense. Why would CAPM 39-1 allow grade insignias with navy blue background on the collar of the BBDU, but require ultramarine background for the name and Civil Air Patrol tapes?

I think it was their original intention to go with dark blue tapes but shelved it when they realized it would make the BBDU too similar to the Coast Guard Auxiliary's ODU blouse. Granted, the Coastie ODU does have the CG emblem embroidered on the shirt pocket. Just my opinion, which doesn't count for much.  ;D

Which accounts for a great deal, actually.

I fail as well to see the logic in this - allowing navy blue for grade insignia, but retaining ultramarine for tapes.

What is even more illogical and perplexing is that metal grade insignia is allowed on the BBDU cap, when to even suggest it for any other piece of cloth is anathema.

I live in a city with a CG station and cutter, so I see Coasties (and Auxies) fairly often.  I would not mistake them-for-us or us-for-them but I see how the general public might, that is if they cannot read.

To be 100% distinctive and unique regarding uniforms is not possible.  Someone else will always be wearing a similar uniform; in the case of BBDU's, LEO's (though theirs are probably more often black, and with body armour) and some EMT/Fire services wear blue working dress.

Our good friend Ned (who posted in the other thread where I originally asked about this)...

has offered to take this question up with the NUC.  many thanks to him for doing this.  Hopefully we will get some clarity about it soon.

para 1.2.3.9 states text trumps images...text says ultramarine for the tapes, grade and insignia.

I noticed the text says ultramarine, so I am sticking with ultramarine on my BBDU until it is clarified for navy blue background.

good call.  i would say that's the best course of action for everyone...

until this is re-presented in a way that is 100% clear.

Anyhow, back to the gold/mustard shirt.  Does anyone remember the joke about the young boy named Mustard that cursed all the time?  His mother told him she would lock him in his upstairs bedroom the next time he swore.   He did, she did.  After a while Mustard started screaming that he really had to go to the bathroom.  After an hour of this his mother told him to do it out the window.  The next thing she  heard was the door bell ringing.  She opened the door to see the mailman standing there covered in grey poopon.  She screamed, "Oh my God Mustard!"  And the mailman said. "Lady, this ain't mustard and it came from that window up there."  This is a very old, third or fourth grade joke, I can't remember.  I return you to your normal radio listening at this time.
