The regs do specifically authorize the NRA badge- the NRA just changed the name and updated the program. If the manufacturer of our name tapes decided to change the name to "coral" would we have to stop wearing name tapes, even though the color was the same?  Also, we don't offer Marksmanship training; all of our training comes from qualified organizations, we just enable it. If you want to emulate a C/CC go right ahead my friend. Also, since your handle is "dad2-4" I am going to assume that you are a Senior Member, so you would never have been permitted to wear the NRA device. ( that's in there, really, you can check!) If you take a look around the Cadet community, you will find the NRA badge is ubiquitous; "Army Expert badges" are not.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

1. Sorry you missed the sarcasm sign in my last post. Not meant as an attack.
2. While the current CAP regs do authorize "an" NRA award, they do not authorize the NRA awards currently available. NRA changed their program while CAP did not change the regs. If someone earned the award mentioned in our regs then they can certainly wear it.
3. Saying that "we don't offer Marksmanship training; all of our training comes from qualified organizations, we just enable it" is just semantics. We allow firearms training within the scope of CP which must be conducted by appropriate personnel.

Its funny that so many members can read a prohibition into the construction of the Regulations ( Regs, designed to allow NRA awards specifically) and will fight to the death to wear our totally unauthorized U.S. Flag patch on their shoulder. My point about the program being permitted rather than established is far from just a semantic argument. There are many in CAP ( The Good Guys) Who want CAP to create and "own" our own program, rather than relying on the training officer from the Moosespit Alabama Police Department, or some guy off the street with an NRA basic rifle instructor qualification. I never miss sarcasm, in fact I thrive on it. There are many in CAP who hate firearms to the center of their very beings (The Commie pinko, bedwetters) You will know them from their bumper stickers.....
