I had a member last year take his uniform to the alterations shop at Macdil AFB. He got it back and the squadron patch wasn't even close to being centered!

Transmitted via my R5 astromech.

The alterations shop at FE Warren thought I was a time traveler for bringing in BDUs.

Unlikely they would see too many Navy or Marine folks.   :)

FE actually does have some Navy personnel assigned there.

I don't know what they do - I asked a couple of them once, and they didn't seem to know either.

Really, when was this?  I've been taking mine there for the past 4+ years.

Uhh....The Navy and Marines don't wear BDUs either. Since before the Army and AF.

Actually I think you'll find that Seabees and some other some other specialized Navy units still have woodland BDUs in thier seabags.

Yep, see them occasionally, there are also some units in Hawaii, I think, or other Pacific islands that
were pulling woodland out of ROTC units last year because the woodland is more effective in jungle climates.

Was for the rebooted jungle school. 25k BDU sets IIRC for the Army.

Of course the Seabees were among the last holdouts to wear the OD green utility uniform too.  :)

    Actually, Seabees, stop using BDUs about 2-3 years ago and now they are using the Navy utility amphibious Uniform. The only unit still using BDU's to work is the Marine Special Operation Command (Raiders BN) and during garrison they use regular Marine MarPat.
    For me I would prefer the CAP to stay on Corporate Utility Uniform. However Big Blue said No so... more money down the drain buying uniforms. Personal choice to use AF regs. Stay motivated. Semper....

While MARSOC wears M81 patterned utilities they are not the same ole BDUs. They are a bit fancier than that.

Any Tricolor woodland pattern looks like BDU to me, I Have see them very up close.

Aboot three years ago. I exaggerate, but they were a little surprised.

So /nitpick, shouldn't the stripes be silver too?

Those background colors might be "close", but the clearly don't match.

In this photo they are so bright they look Photoshopped.

In theory, but don't shake this tree, Bob.  These insignia are expensive to produce, and they would be expensive for CAP to buy back from Vanguard in the even of a change.  That money takes away from money we can use for perfectly good programs - not lining Vanguard's pockets more.

Sorry, I am tired, and most likely mis-reading this, but are they getting rid of the Corporate Uniform down the road?

No, there are no plans to ever do away with the corporate field uniform.

A couple of Navy and Marine units are wearing BDU's, including BUDS school and deployed SEALs when desired.
