Quote from: RiverAux on April 05, 2024, 12:01:14 PMThese days there is a much reduced need for the sort of airborne capabilities that we have, but that isn't a dealbreaker -- the federal legislation organizing CAP says that we can respond to any sort of emergency and doesn't put any limit on what types of activities we can do while responding.
That being said, CAP has been failing for decades to actually come up with a vision for how we respond to natural disasters that addresses anything other than airborne photography. Now, I don't see anything wrong with us assisting other agencies in something that they specialize in. They're probably always going to need more manpower. Really, is that any different than a lot of what the National Guard does during disasters? Does anyone complain that they're horning in on the Red Cross if they set up a shelter or hand out water bottles?

I guess minus taking off the blouse when it's hot but at that point we should fly in ABUs/BBDU? Where as that option doesn't exist for those in MiLAV who have to wear the nomex and the 2 piece is great for the crew dogs.
It was mainly one of those we were trying to future-proof, and allow AF/Army aircrews who had them issued be able to wear them to CAP as well as anyone who wanted to get them. It's a very different fabric from the standard OCPs, much more comfortable for general usage, for meetings and staff jobs, etc. I was hoping to not have to blouse my boots, but I guess I'll just stick with the green nomies.
It's a different fabric because they're Nomex.

Quote from: Dad2-4 on April 04, 2024, 01:40:57 PMIs there a female blue overblouse larger than 24? I have a cadet that barely fits into a 22 Reg.
She has asked for a male shirt, but was denied. Asking for a waiver based on gender is not an issue in this case. She just doesn't like the way it fits.

2PFDUs for aircrew, I believe the flag patch being optional on the bag with optional HHQ patch instead a la ACC. I believe those two are the only ones I know for sure. Guess we'll see when it makes its way to our reddit front page the nanosecond it's published.
