Civil Air Patrol - How to wear your ABU & BDU! | CAPR 39-1

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The ES Patch is not authorized on ABU - only BDU. The patch was on my uniform very briefly and was promptly removed after an in-depth review of CAPR 39-1.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Due to the high demand for the learn to lead videos, I decided to create an overview of CAPR 39-1.

CAPR 39-1 was last updated on 5 March 2020 as of the posting of this video.

Study tip! If you would like to learn and remember as much information from this chapter as possible, I would highly recommend at least reading over the chapter before watching the video.

If you have any questions or comments for me, please feel free to include them down below!

Thank you for your support; don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe! Toodles!

Hey everyone! PLEASE NOTE: The ES Patch is not authorized on ABU - only BDU. The patch was on my uniform very briefly and was promptly removed after an in-depth review of CAPR 39-1.

I'm a Canadian Air Cadet and I stumbled upon this when I was trying to find something to teach me how to do up my blouse. Now I'm here laughing at how CAP gets second hand camouflage patterns whilst we've only got 1997 surplus dug out of some supply depot.

Thank you for all the great videos for CAP !! I had a question regarding ABU, so I had to remove off my Squadron Patch which was out of regulation and I had to take it off. As I took it off, there was a Ironed mark which is not going off. I tried my best to remove it but it wasn’t working at all. Do you have any ideas to remove the iron Marks off??Please do let me know, it would be great

Sorry it’s been a long time since you posted but I’m going into seventh grade and thinking about joining because it’s at my school. Do you think it would be fine to get my boots at a surplus store or online? If you could respond it be greatly appreciated.

When the pants you get from the surplus store are female and you didn't notice till this video XD

When did cap change the insignia, on your ABUs it looks like a captain, but on your BDUs it is a colonel?

I believe the undershirt color is sand.

I’m currently on my 2nd meeting on the CAP and I need to know if both AF and ABU is required.

Where does the NESA patch go I’ve seen it everywhere on the blouse and was wondering where they go

[robinminnesota]

We are starting a new unit in Delano MN, Flying Tigers.. I recommend your videos weekly. Great work, keep doing these please.

[michaelrobles]

I’m trying to figure out where to put the honor guard academy patch can anyone help with this? I looked in 39-1 and I couldn’t find where to put the special activity patches

[holydiver]

Why are your comments turned off on other videos?

[justintimerox]

I thought the CAP Emergency Service patch (patch with the airplane) was only Authorized on BDU

I enjoyed this video Cpt D! Major Derfler

I've always used CAPM 39-1, not CAPR 39-1. Is there a difference?

[familyguy]

Well air force are switching to ocps so civil air patrol will probably follow suit
