Wear of CAP World War II Aviation Badge authorized

[LSThiker]

It's back to khaki for all of ya... 

If I can find a decent "original" khaki for little cost, I might actually wear the "heritage wings" on the uniform.  However, I do not think my wife would be happy with me purchasing those

They seriously don't make khakis like they used to.  What you can find in most any clothing store now is crap.  Except Bill's Khakis.  Made in Pennsylvania.  Shame they don't make WWII uniform style...

Yeh sure!

Try landing a Cessna at an airport with what may look like a bomb under it... You'll have the local police on you. The Feds will be next!!!

I saw Gitmo in that Harold and Kumar movie. It didn't look that bad.

Grab yourself some Cuban cigars and a mojito, you're set.

You mean, you missed the election of our new National Commander Maj Gen Hernandez?

I'm sorry, I just don't see the problem here. Wear of the WWII wings is not mandatory, it's optional for one year. The wings cost $12.50. Don't like 'em? Don't buy em.  Don't put 'em on your uniform. Come on folks, is it really that big a freakin' deal? 

And please explain to me how $4000 out of a $39,000,000 budget is going to hurt our operations.

That $4000 could be used for something useful and not for something of zero value.
There is a term that is used to describe stuff like this. It's Fraud, Waste and Abuse.

[Capt Thompson]

Fraud, waste and abuse? Only $4k to preserve historic artifacts, research the history of the organization, conduct interviews and oral histories, produce material that aids in recruiting and fostering esprit de corps, etc. etc. etc. Name one other program in CAP that does so much for the organization, with such little money? If you don't care enough about the organization, to want to preserve it's history, to be able to tell it's story to future generations, then why are you a part of it?

Fraud, Waste and Abuse? Give me a break. You might not like the expenditure, I get that. You might think the money could be better spent. I get that also. But the expenditure is authorized under CAP regs and NHQ policy. And orginizational history is a vital part of the Public Affairs and Outreach function of NHQ. The Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps all expend resources on their history and heritage. It's not Fraud, Waste, or Abuse until the IG says it is.

Don't think I need a "refresher" on waste.

At least it's not a race car.

Then please elaborate as to how the history program relates to mismanagement, inappropriate actions, and/or inadequate oversight.

BTW; most likely it's $4000 out of a $2,000,000 budget.  This expense came out of member (Corporate) money.  FWA, this is not.  There is a vetting process in these matters, and I'm sure it was followed. 

Oh, and as a former "bean counter", we need to sell about 5500 of them to break even..., but this is about our history, not about making money.  :angel:

I would venture that our history brings us far more than $4,000 every year.  Without our history, our appropriations would be approximately $0.
