Can we share a collective cringe at this photo:


I won't say anything anything about the deeper context, but I think it's an impactful way of illustrating why we have a R39.1.2 going over where TO and where NOT TO wear the uniform.

I don't understand your point. Can you elaborate further?
"Eagerness and thrill seeking in others' misery is psychologically corrosive, and is also rampant in EMS. It's a natural danger of the job. It will be something to keep under control, something to fight against."

Seeing that he has no tapes or insignia whatsoever, I doubt he belongs to any organization, or has ever heard of 39-1. Pretty sure he picked these up at a surplus store cheap and decided to wear them to the protest because he thinks he looks cool.

I would go with the Surplus Store idea, except for the green boots. That kinda says Veteran to me. *shrug*

I'm guessing that the OP is referring to CAP members being reminded as to when and where to wear their Air Force-style uniforms to avoid any negative visual appearance of Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force, or other military/law enforcement agency at an event.
