Quote from: Hippidy on January 30, 2024, 04:22:36 AM4) Cost of acquiring ABU is less steep for Cadets given our availability of free or discounted uniforms
(our squadron has a closet with a wide variety of ABUs that helps with keeping entry cost low)

Milsurp ABUs are pretty much gone now.

More important - cadet sized milsurp ABUs are gone.

Time to switch to OCP's. Just saying.

Quote from: NIN on December 21, 2023, 02:30:51 PMAttached is a little graphic aid I came up with to distribute to our units and give them an idea of the categories of uniforms and their rough equivalents, especially to civilian attire (which, BTW, is OK to wear if you don't have the correct uniform!).

Nin, thanks for making this graphic aid - it looks like it will be really useful, especially for new senior members!

I wonder if it would be possible to get an updated version - one with the correct color of grade and nametag on the flight suit. (I would do it myself, but I don't have the photoshop skills...)

And if you do decide to update it, perhaps have a look at the cadet semi-formal uniform in the top row. Something seems a little odd about that one!

Oh, geez.

I did this whole thing in Word, and NOBODY noticed any of that. Least of all me. I have noted that occasionally it just "flips" a graphic while resizing.

(Also, look at the Corp FDU and Blue BDUs.. still old nametags)

Durrr.. 2024 version coming up!

Thank you for not putting graphics showing neckties on short sleeve shirts on there.

Thanks! This is great.

I'm going to order one of those flight scarves just to be the only person in CAP history to wear one.

It is one of only like three CAP uniform items I don't own. Nor will I own.

It'd look great with the short sleeve blue jumpsuit or the guyabera shirt...

Thanks for making (& updating) this, Colonel Ninness...

Very useful!

Why do you have to harsh my weekend?

HandsomeWalt_USMC · April 19, 2024, 12:39:32 AM

I'm too young to really remember the guayabera but I remember seeing it in old CAP literature when I was a wee cadet. I'd 100% wear one now if I could and I would pull it off.

I recently learned about the turtleneck option for corporate service dress. I am going to order a blazer nametag and patch just to rock that sometime next winter.
