Uniform contest

Sparky, I thought for sure you'd be the first to post.  I don't even know you and I know you.   

Didn't I mention something about your tie-tack being too high in another picture of you in service dress or something?

Great pic bro, but so predictable.

That second button tie tack rule always gets me too.  Then again, someone has to tackle me to the ground and beat on me for a bit to get me to wear a tie in the first place....  Great pic there Major Corrales.

When I first joined CAP, a US Air Force Officer friend of mine told me that the tie tack/tie bar was supposed to make a line with the nametage and ribbons.  I wore it like that until I came here and was told otherwise.

An oldie, but a goodie

Here's an "oldie but goodie".  Me in 1996 during report to congress.

[Duke Dillio]

Is that a CAP issued M-60/M-240B (sorry pic isn't all that clear)?  If so, I want one sooooo bad.....

Ah...back in the days before the "nametag." 

[Stonewall]

Yep, just got my gray epaulets too.  I think a few weeks before they were maroon.

[Duke Dillio]

Hey that girl in the picture is kinda cute.  Did you get her phone number?

[Stonewall]

Here's another old one.  Still on active duty here and sportin' silver bars on maroon epaulets...

Hey Major, you look good, but your shirt looks a little Green

Green?

[RogueLeader]

Pardon the airport badge, its a photoshop job.

Green?

Ok, maybe not Army green, but it doesn't look like AF Blue. . . might be my screen . . . but it looks teal/baby blue or something along those lines. . .

Likely just an optical illusion based on the darker blue in the flag behind it. I assure you that that shirt is CAP/USAF Kosher.

Eh, why not, I'll throw myself into the fire...



Had to face that way so you can't see my AUX ON/AUX OFF patch.

Great picture there.  Love the bars.  Love the flightsuit.  You shouldn't burn too bad in the fire with that NOMEX on.  Great job.

Sorry, my corncob pipe was at the cleaners!  What could I do?

Cayman Islands Cruise last year. Had a great time and even met a Retired Municipal Court Judge who had been in CAP in the 1940' and 50's as a Cadet.

Idea behind this is simple. Post a picture of yourself in your sharpest looking uniform. (Please no golf shirts)
Winner chosen by popular vote after a suitable period of time.

My wife happens to think I look "good" in my grey slacks and polo t-shirt, thank you very much!

BTW...just so some know for those that "hate" the polo, for a newbie like me it is the fastest, cheapest way to get into a uniform. I have yet have the time or money to buy much of anything else.

[isuhawkeye]

thats the problem.  You may never get a real CAP uniform, and you will spend the rest of your career explaining why the polo is just fine.
