New CAP ID-Card policy

[SARDOC]

I am pretty sure the ID card is a uniform item. You can't be on a mission without it can you?

I've checked the Gospel of CAPM 39-1 and there is no mention of anything requiring you to carry ID as a part of your uniform.  So I'll have to go with no

It is required while on a ground team though.

Reg cite?

The only national-level thing I've been able to find (and the magic KB also agrees with this) is in the 52-16 regarding cadet's attendance of encampment.  However, even that doesn't state that it needs to be on the person, simply that you need to have one (and your Curry achievement completed) in order to attend.

The Closet I can find is CAPR 60-3 it has a few references to the Membership card must be presented with your 101 card/SQTR for operations and Training.  Do a word search for Membership card and you'll find it.  But nothing that actually says it has to be on your person.  But I would think it would be hard to present if it were not on your person

Roger.  I wasn't doubting that there was no other place that said it (especially when it comes to operations stuff), just lookin' for sources.

It is not a regulation, but my squadron and many encampments require you to carry it on your person at all times.

From the GT Task Guide: Task O-0001 "c) All CAP Identification, including 101 card, 76 card, First Aid card, etc. (T)"

Thank you guys got them before I could. So there you go, there are your cites. It is a required item, if you don't have it at check in for anything other than regular meetings you should be turned away, especially at any ES operation.

Reg cite?

...CAP ID cards must meet Air Force standards and are considered a uniform item...

So the Air Force certainly considers our ID card a uniform item.

[JohnKachenmeister]

Yes.  A few years ago, somebody proposed a CAPID that was in vertical format and looked a little like the CAC-card.  The AF wasted no time in telling is "No."

so cadets dont get one with a pic on it, even if they upload a pic?

Cadets get a photo if the photo is in eservices and approved.

Cadets over 18 get a photo ID if the photo is in eservices and approved.

[ßτε]

Cadets under age 18 do not get a photo ID.

[a2capt]

Cadets are just not required to have a photo, but they can have one.

[Eclipse]

That's what I said...

Now maybe someone can tell me why a verified photo isn't required as part of the membership package...

The CAP ID card must be sufficiently different
from U.S. Armed Forces ID card that confusion will not occur.

Obviously an ID card like those is way to close to what the real military uses to ever be allowed.

Thats a GT Task guide, not 39-1, so I do need it for getting signed off for ES, but according to regs it doesn't look like much else

[BTCS1*]

Agreed, however many squadrons (including my own), have local policies that require members to have their IDs on their person while at meetings/in uniform.
