New Cadet Uniform Survival Guide
CAP members are authorized to wear a uniform similar to the
U.S. Air Force, the difference being that distinctive emblems, insignia, and
badges are employed to identify the wearer as a member of CAP. All members
of CAP must be well-groomed and assure that their personal appearance at all
times reflect credit upon them selves and CAP. When uniforms are worn, they
must be clean, neat and correct in design and specification, properly
fitted, and in good condition. Uniforms will be kept zippered, snapped, or buttoned and shoes will be
shined and in good repair. Metallic insignia, badges, and other devices,
including the blue service uniform buttons, must also be maintained in the
proper luster and condition. Keep in mind. CAP members will not wear the
service uniform more than (1) hour following the close of a CAP activity,
except for travel time to and from such activities, for which the uniform is
required. See other restrictions listed on CAPM
