Interim Change Letter, Clarification of CAPM 39-1, Cadet Grooming Standards

Tuesday, 22 July 2008, by JColgan

15 July 2008

MEMORANDUM FOR CAP UNIT COMMANDERS (DISTRIBUTE WIDELY)
FROM: CAP/CC
SUBJECT: Clarification of CAPM 39-1, Cadet Grooming Standards

1. All cadet members must meet the grooming standards prescribed for AF-style uniforms in Attachment 2 of CAPM 39-1 whenever wearing a CAP Uniform, including CAP Distinctive Uniforms as well as USAF-style Uniforms. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the National Commander as necessary to comply with the law.

2. When the National Board and National Executive Committee expanded uniform choices available to cadets to include uniforms previously worn only by senior members, the intention was to allow for those cadets not meeting the weight standards to have an authorized CAP uniform to wear. It was not changed to allow cadets to choose whether or not they would meet the grooming standards.

3. This clarification will be included in the next revision of CAPM 39-1.

AMY S. COURTER
Brigadier General, CAP
Interim National Commander

The Interim Change Letter can be downloaded on the NHQ publications page.
