i am probably about to open a HUGE can of opinion worms here, but it is just that, an opinion.  I think that as a "corporation" it should not be about what makes people happy.  Get the decision made, do it, then stick to it.  If makes the USAF upset, oh well...we are not the USAF we are CAP, a corporation in itself.  everyone needs to stop worrying about making other entities upset, stepping on toes, and offending...and just get the job done whether it is uniforms, regs, slogans, patches, what ever.

We are talking about the same folks that operate all the stealth bombers and predator drones right?

I'm not sure I agree 100%, but I do think it would be best for all involved if we simply charted our course and reacted to actual problems instead of trying to head off every potential issue.  There are some people so invested in personal drama that they would complain about Mother Teresa if she sneezed liquid gold that cured cancer and powered small cities in a fully green way.

Granted M*A*S*H was just a TV show, but the correct premise was that people who are top performers have more value and flexibility because they have proven themselves to be trustworthy.  A CAP executing on its missions is an invaluable resource to this country, one which would not be ignored as it is today, and when people would try to bring in chickenpoop stuff, we could say "talk to the hand, because we did 'x, y, z, AND Q" last year for free..."

As it stands today most of our successes are either in spite of ourselves or due to the brute-force effort of a small group who are more involved and committed then the majority of members.  That's not how its supposed to work.
