But Sparky if nothing ever changes there will be no postings on CAPTalk!  Could you imagine how dead this place would be if there were no uniform change or logo change discussions?

NHQ does this so CAPTalk will thrive!

Ah...yes, I forgot.  CAPNHQ harnesses the energy from CAPTALK uniform discussion to power all the Cessna 172Rs in the fleet.

I am not sure when the change took place, but...

Ou seal used to read "Civil Air Patrol" on the top, and "Auxiliary of the United States Air Force" on the bottom in smaller letters.  Sometime in the late 70's or early 80's the seal was changed to read:  "United States Air Force Auxiliary" on the top, and "Civil Air Patrol" on the bottom.

About 1986, I believe. I think it was some sort of preliminary move to bring the organization's name in line with the USCGAux. It's been nearly a quarter-century since then, and guess what? We're still Civil Air Patrol, though some poor souls insist we're not.

According to regulation, there's only a few authorized logos -- and that ugly triangie isn't one of them.

Which has never stopped the beloved leaders of CAP from doing things off the cuff and filling in the regulationsat a later date.
