I guess it's time for me to up date my uniform yet again.

Does any one else feel like CAP is almost becoming the Army's Aux?
Anyways, what do yall think about it?

I love the idea im not sure about how itrs actually going to work tho. I am thrilled that we get to wear it.

Now I am wondering why my commander has not said anything about this.....

It's new, so that's probably why.

But we just had a CAC meeting!!!!! And this was sent out on Dec 5th and our Christmas banquet was on the 9th!!! Urgh

I don't like patches and those cloth thingies we wear on blues. Don't the blue nametapes and shinning metal lapels kill the point of camo enough? But if the higher echelon rules that we wear the American Flag... well that's what I'll do.
My guess as to why y'all were never told about the uniform change is because we still have half a year before it's manditory. HQ does need time to send out the memorandum to all squadrons.

Blues are meant to be nice, not to be used as a camo.

As for the American flag. I'm glad they are just keeping it on the BDUs and not blues (Our blues uniform seems to be getting crowded....) Not that I agree with it in the first place, cuse I don't. I just think the flag should be for the guy over seas, not cadets.

You guys should feel proud to be able to wear your countries flag on your uniform. Over here, there is discussion on whether we are aloud to wear a Canada flag on our combats or not. Right now its usually the CO's descretion and at the moment he says we can't but I would love to be able to wear it. It just makes the uniform more complete.

Yes I completely agree with you on that one. Although I'm an C/Amn in CAP and my Blues are not crowed with ribbons and stuff...yet, I would like to have my countrie's flag on my BDU.

Eh....
I will wear the flag, and I will wear it proudly. I would just like a good reason why we need them.
