I'm not, but in three messages, someone who is will tell you why they can't wear the uniform correctly.

I heard that they can't wear any uniform worth anything.

Just kidding. Had to make your prediction come true.

I am the ES Officer for TX-179. How can I be of assistance? Feel free to shoot me a PM if needed.

LMAO! That is hilarious.

My golf shirt looks just fine thank you! Now, if I could only get my AD ribbons authorized to be embrodiered on it by the big V and wear ABU bottoms with it, everything would be perfect. For now...

My apologies for the "Self-fulfilling prophecy threadjack" there. :)

You guys continue on with your discussion about TX-179. We'll leave the "every thread of CAP-Talk turns into a uniform thread" joke alone.

(thats a hint guys, leave it)

Thank you for the direction. I saw the news article on that event but failed to pick up on the unit. I am glad that no one was hurt and it was a great landing since all walked away! Kudo's to the pilot. All equipment is expendable, lives are not!  :clap:

My interest had nothing to do with the emergency landing, but simply wanting to know about a unit, I had a cadet transferring to.

Good. Now that that's settled, we can get back to turning every thread into a uniform thread...

I've been away from the Houston area for a bit, but T-Bird was, and likely still is, a good squadron for cadets. Pretty high speed, squared away. Group IV is a pretty good group as well. With several units in the Greater Houston area, there's usually lots of things going on to get involved in.

I'm pretty sure I know the cadet you're taking about.  I helped her out with a land nav course on Tuesday night.  I  think her name was Searcy. 

We've got a great squadron.  Lots of experience and seniors willing to help.
