The Uniform Team

[billford1]

Does anybody know what the Uniform Team is up to? It would help to have an idea of what's being considered, and what's been ruled out.

I'd vote for no change.  Everything in uniforms is as perfect as a committee is ever likely to be.

Far from it - while we don't need any more additional combos, we need a team to iron out the inconsistencies between regulations.

I would volunteer to be in that committee,

I would eliminate uniforms.....well not all of them.....

I would LOVE to volunteer for that committee...

Me, too. We need to cut back on a few.

Col Merle Starr, is the head of the uniform committee. It has concluded its work and has presented its work for approval.

[Always Ready]

^That's excellent news! When will their work be released (if approved, of course)?

[Larry Mangum]

That I could not say, nor what changes they recommended,

Do you know their mandate? Just uniform changes or can we expect a complete 39-1 rewrite?

I hope it's a rewrite. The old one has way too much missing.

[Pylon]

The Uniform Team hasn't 'concluded' it's work; it's an ongoing process.  Things continue to change, of course, as the committee's role evolves.  Some things are being worked on, including proposed rewrites to CAPM 39-1.

[BrandonKea]

They need to do something to put an end to the Beret/Ranger Tab confusion to bed.

[Major Carrales]

How about some real instruction when the results come out?  If it is all that important an issue, then a mandatory section of all meeting should be instituted with policy enforcement at CAP activities.


If many of the so called "Uniform Nazis" would spend more time on the flightlines "grounding" uniform violators (as per the regulations) than posting on forums, maybe an end to the problem could be the resultant.

(note a degree of sarcasm mixed in with sincerity)

[Hawk200]

..."grounding" uniform violators (as per the regulations)...

Hmmm.

People might start paying attention to details, if they don't get to do the "fun" stuff when they're not right with things.

I can envision a CAP Uniform STAN/EVAL Team being born to do just that, enforce uniform standards at Encampments, NCSA's, etc.

haha! NY Encampment already beat you to the gun  ! We has a full cadet SET team WITH Senior Member supervision to do that! And enforce D&C, sleeping area alignments, C&C, knowledge, etc.

Most encampments already have such a thing, I was a member of one several years ago.

I'm talking one purely for Uniforms, and one put together at perhaps a Regional level to enforce uniform standards.

If that's the same Merle Starr that I knew back in Georgia Wing in the 80s, he's a good man.  A darned good man.  He'll do a great job heading the uniform committee.

Anybody know what happened to Lt. Col. White? PM me if it's not fit for the public.
