Good2Golf said:Geo, forage caps are still authorized for use with AF orders of Deu dress (they used to be authorized with flying clothing, believe it or not...up to mid-90's).

There is a movement afoot!! After just finishing the pilot training program (except for the f***in' OTU!! :brickwall, I can report that among the ranks of the pilot trainees, there is a large movement to reinstate the Forage Cap into widespread use! As G2G stated, it is still authorized for use, and is readily available on the logistik unicorps website. Almost everyone I knew in MJ had ordered or was planning on ordering their Forage Cap.. In fact, they (whomever 'they' are) have started to order / produce the large AF Cap badge that used to adorn the Forage cap!
Unite!!
For this young grasshopper, I would love to see us go back to the RCAF traditions (uni, ranks etc...), but if not, I say we keep what traditions we have (ie. Forage Cap for Officers / Wedge for NCM's) FOR DEU's.... That being said, the CF Forage Cap with flight suit looks absolutely horrid. I saw some portly Maj from AETE in Cold Lake back in 2004 wearing his FC in a flight suit... The brits can pull it off but their FC's look much like they used to in WWII.. Not so bus-driver-y
