What uniform do most seniors wear at your squadron meetings?

I know  Was poking at the unfair regs there for a bit.

If RM can do it, why cant I? JK

You may notice RM is no longer among us. You really sure you want to use him as an example?

As the Japanese say, "Are?"(sounds like arr-ay). Means "Eh?" or "What?" I think. Even though my mom is Japanese and I grew up around Japanese speakers I still don't speak a dadgum word. Anyway...WHAT? Did he finally go to ground?

I... am surprised.

Most of my seniors wear the polo for uniformity and those directly involved with us follow the cadet UOD.

It depends on the squadron really. This website represents a rather small portion of CAP.

Is there anymore "Forums" about CAP or CGAUX? Is it that people do not like joining these pages and pages of very usefull information?

There's a couple of others that have a sub-forum about CAP, but they are mostly dead.

These days anything that takes more effort then pushing the "Like" button or saying "Nice!" is more effort then people can muster.

This is a long-form version of the tubes, and we hold people to a standard of decorum and spelling / grammar.  That
tends to fly in the face of short-form services.

I find it odd that you mention spelling and grammar, when I find at least three instances of improper usage of same in this post. 

[Devil Doc]

Well I can tell you my "Grammar" and "Engrish" is not that great. On the other hand, do not let that deter me from this Forum. I have a "Known" learning disability, TBI such an terrible thing. Anywho, this forum is Legit, and im not big on forums.

CAP doesn't have XO's at the unit level, either.

Mine did.

BITD you could create whatever titles you wanted to and randomly assign permissions any way you wanted to.
These days units are supposed to stick to prescribed duty titles, and eServices does not allow for custom titles.

I now hang my head in shame as Bob uses the term "BITD" to describe my most recent tour as a squadron commander.

I am now, truly, "olde"

My unit had SMs wearing every variation. The CC was usually in BDUs, occasionally in grey/white combo. I usually wore the same. A couple were almost always in  the polo shirt combo, 2 or 3 in civies, 2-3 others in BDUs. Very difficuly getting consistency in uniform wear among the SMs.

It depends on Cadet, Senior or Composite Squadron.

Air Force style uniform. Just came back from Wing commanders call and the UOD was polo shirt. Been in CAP for 21 years and never owned the polo shirt. Is this the future?

I'm not sure that the squadron type matters significantly.  If we went with the stereotypes the seniors that work with cadets tend to be a little younger and possibly fitter than most CAP members and therefore more able to wear the AF-style uniform, but I'm not sure that really holds up very well.  I'm also not a big believer in the stereotype that senior squadrons are flying clubs where they don't care about anything but getting in the air and don't want to be bothered with uniforms. 

The only thing that surprises me a little bit about the poll results so far is that the CAP corporate uniforms are doing so poorly.  If we believe that most seniors can't wear AF-style (not an unreasonable assumption) then you would think that the CAP corporate uniform would be the primary alternative.  Instead, what we may be seeing is that if a senior can't wear the AF-style uniform then they just don't want to be bothered buying all the ribbons, rank, etc. for the corporates and just go with the cheapest possible alternative - the golf shirt.

What I notice and do not like is that everyone is not "uniform". Uniform means everyone wearing the same thing, not everyone wearing something different. UOD (uniform of the day) should mean something.

Maybe it's because the aviator combo is so drab and colourless, not to mention that it doesn't have an authorised headgear or service coat (the blazer is NOT a service coat)?

[RiverAux]

But the BBDU and Blue flight suit are pretty similar alternatives to the AF style, both versions of which are commonly seen at meetings.
