Title: Guy in Albuquerque Being Detained in ABUs
Post by: CFToaster on June 16, 2020, 02:59:54 PM
Can we share a collective cringe at this photo:

I won't say anything anything about the deeper context, but I think it's an impactful way of illustrating why we have a R39.1.2 going over where TO and where NOT TO wear the uniform.

I don't understand your point. Can you elaborate further?

Seeing that he has no tapes or insignia whatsoever, I doubt he belongs to any organization, or has ever heard of 39-1. Pretty sure he picked these up at a surplus store cheap and decided to wear them to the protest because he thinks he looks cool.

I would go with the Surplus Store idea, except for the green boots. That kinda says Veteran to me. *shrug*

This has zero to do with CAP.

I'm guessing that the OP is referring to CAP members being reminded as to when and where to wear their Air Force-style uniforms to avoid any negative visual appearance of Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force, or other military/law enforcement agency at an event.
