Air Force Forage Cap

[medaid]

You need to change MOC then.......

When FAA returns I will... if not I shall stick to my modified 10year plan. If THAT doesn't work... well I guess I'll have to stick with this MOC

Haha, seen. But maybe if I look good enough people will assume I know what I'm doing.

Hahahaha image is everything.

You might be waiting a *really* long time: AFAIK, the "Fleet Air Arm" is specific to the UK, in Canada  the term was purposefully avoided in favour of just  "Naval Aviation" (although it may have been used unofficially by some).

Back on topic ...

I'm considering forming mine to not look so "busdriverish" Could someone post a photo of one that's properly formed?

 

[brian_k]

I took out the plastic and used a coat hanger to give it shape

 

[benny88]

;D Thanks Brian.

A-AD-265-000/AG-001 Chapter 2 Section 1

31. CF items of clothing shall not be altered or modified, except to obtain a reasonable fit, or to convert service dress jackets to doublets as authorized in Chapter 6.

 

[benny88]

What about forming berets? I see your point, but is altering peaked hats not pretty common though?

 

[KJL]

Reasonable fit I think are the key words there

 

[Disenchantedsailor]

you can wear a corn flake, cough excuse me CF tri-service cap badge with it if that's all you have.

Aww T no bitterness there

 

[kj_gully]

Reasonable fit I think are the key words there

  I think its reasonable to modify the peak cap so your David Clark's will fit over.... ;D ;D

I was just on logistik today to try and order a new peaked cap but I don't see it in my catalog anymore. I can't help but wonder if they finally did away with.

 

[dwalter]

There goes half my motivation to be in an air force uniform right there.

 

[Ping Monkey]

It appears our head-dress options are diminishing... not only was the forage cap missing from my catalogue, but so was my turban!! 

 

[Winged Wheels]

... not only was the forage cap missing from my catalogue, but so was my turban!! 

Mine too. Shame, I always liked entertaining the notion that could become a Sikh if I so desired.

 

[Nfld Sapper]

Turban is gone form mine too. But I could order a black/scarlet/maroon beret if I wanted too.  ;D

 

[Eye In The Sky]

Well, I bet if you counted how many turbans and Service Caps were ordered in relation to the total # of CF mbr's that would be authorized to wear the things...there would be a small...difference??  ;D

So in the end, those items being unavailable is really just doing the best thing for Sam and Susie Taxpayer, our bosses 

 

[benny88]

      I just ordered a service cap last month  ??? Guess I got it just in time. I heard they did the math and saw that a few hundred turbans had been ordered and about 100 sikhs had enlisted and got all pissed off and took it off the website, but thats just a rumour. Perhaps ArmyVern can shed some light?

 

[Eye In The Sky]

the removal of the service cap/forage cap/'pick a name' cap is probably based on rank.  I am not sure and would have to check CFP265 but I don't think the Air Force ranks below CWO are authorized to even wear the bugger.

I haven't seen one of those on a Zoomie for years now.  ;D
