headgear in van

[LegacyAirman]

It seems like I remember a discussion about this, but I can't find it. Anyone remember it and know where to find it? Thanks.

I tried several variations of hat/cap/van/inside, etc and mainly got old topics with those words, but not what I remember.

My search came up with this old gem.

Thank you. Those are good. I still remember someone posting something up an experiment with videos of the senior member wearing or not wearing headgear. It was also mentioned that 39-1 is silent on the issue (as was/is 35-10/36-2903).

We follow the same rules and traditions as the Air Force. Hats (cover is not an Air Force or CAP term) are normally worn outdoors only, unless there's a designated "No Hat-No Salute" area. A member can wear their hat while in a vehicle, but it's not required.

Boom! That's what I was thinking of. My squadron was in a parade. I wore my Service Dress (with flight cap). I ended up driving and wore my cap, thinking it looked more formal. I heard someone mention something about whether we should be wearing headgear in a vehicle and I ignored them, wanting to post this up after I got home. Thank you! (Did the Mess Dress fit OK Colonel?)

ETA: Actually, this pic shows more CAP-Talkers:

Why didn't you identify them? Some of us want to place faces to the handles used here... Or would you need permission from them to do so?

[THRAWN]

Where is Korona's hair?!!? And on a more serious note, how is Colonel Knowles able to wear the Maryland Distinguished Service Cross? It's a Maryland state award and I thought those were no-go...

Aww man, I lost the bet that someone would turn this into a uniform thread in less than an hour.

[THRAWN]

Psst...it is a uniform thread. But seriously, I cant wear my Maryland awards, why is a colonel who should know better...

We went south today to take a tour of the Warner Robins AFB museum. When we  got in the van, I took my hat off, and one of the cadets said "Oh, the Major took his hat off, everyone." So, they followed by example.

Almost 30 years in the Air Force and I never heard of issues with wearing hats in vehicles until I joined CAP.

That's Al Sayre from MS Wing on the far left. Not sure Al's on here or not.

[THRAWN]

He sure is!
