Controversy Arises Over California State Guard’s Surprising Uniform Change

We recently discovered The California State Guard (State Defense Force) will undergo some major uniform changes. Previously, members of the California State Guard were outfitted in the same uniform similar to that of the Army National Guard, with the key distinction being the “CALIFORNIA” nametape, replacing the “US ARMY” inscription. This uniformity extended to various elements, including the U.S. flag patch adorning the right shoulder and the color scheme of the nametapes. However, a recent decision has been made to introduce distinctive changes to the uniforms. These modifications are designed to further differentiate State Defense Force soldiers from their National Guard brothers and sisters.

Here is a sample of the change:

This is a drastic change to the uniform of The California State Guard. No other State Defense Force, albeit one (New York Guard), has undergone such a drastic change in the appearance of their uniform. We do not know what prompted such a radical change.

Also The US Flag normally worn by California State Guard, US Army National Guard and other branches will be replaced by The State Flag. Whether the flag will be subdued or in color is still in discussion. Here is a sample of one of the subdued flags will look like:

The Maritime element of The California State Guard, a department that includes ships and sailors which assist The US Coast Guard on various missions throughout the year, will also have their uniforms altered. Instead of The US Navy Working Uniform Type IIIs uniforms they currently wear, those soldiers will transition to Army OCP uniforms. Here is a Illustration of that change:

These drastic uniform changes are of concern to StateDefenseForce.com. While the switch from US Flag to State Flag is a minor change and fits into the paradigm of State Defense Forces which are state only military forces, the other changes are more sudden and radical and are of significant concern to StateDefenseForce.com. Usually when such changes are proposed it is due to viewpoint changes from a Adjutant General (Senior National Guard General). As of last year California State Military Adjutant General recently changed commands from Major General David Baldwin to Major General Matthew P. Beevers. Not only is there a new Adjutant General but The California State Guard has recently seen a transition in leadership from Major General Jay Coggan to Brigadier General (CA) Robert Spano. Major General Coggan has been responsible for increasing the size of The California State Guard, drastically increasing involvement of The State Guard into wild land firefighting but also expanding The California State Guard and their missions. Since his departure news from The California State Guard has been limited.

We have reached out to The California State Guard for comment, we haven’t heard back yet, stay tuned for update.

It is news like this why StateDefenseForce.com has started a lobbying program. Our lobbying program will be developing relations with The National Guard Bureau, State & Federal Legislators and Adjutant Generals throughout the country in hopes of advocating for State Defense Forces, as well as opposing such drastic uniform changes, but we need you and your help to develop The State Defense Force cause, become a Patreon member.

Subject: State Defense Force Uniform Changes
CSMs,
Among numerous briefings to/with the CG yesterday at HQ, the pressing point of uniform changes was decided upon by the CG. These changes are not in effect at this time, and will only take effect IAW information distributed through official channels.
The efforts of the uniform working group, working with their connections in concert with the CGs work as well, has resulted in the information below, which the CG will deliver to the TAG for his blessing.
No major changes such as Red caps, or similar. Duty uniform remains the OCP which is already worn by Army and Air component. Maritime will switch to OCP, so that the State Defense Force presents a united appearance.
Details:
Army and Air rank on OCP remains as-is. Maritime will display maritime rank on OCP. Not sure what color/design background is available for Navy rank on OCP material at this time.
One shoulder patch on left sleeve – the newer Bear and Star CSG patch. No use of Federal-aligned patch or locally-designed Joint command patches.
US Flag on right shoulder replaced by California state flag. Unsure if full-color or subdued: this was not discussed at our meeting.
Qualification/skill badges from Federal service remain (CIB, CAB, former wartime service, etc)
Nametape and CALIFORNIA tape switch to black background, with lettering changed to either white or silver. Exact color was not specified at the meeting.
The CG’s position is that State will fund the initial purchase of CALIFORNIA name tapes and a shoulder unit patch for each SM (one per SM), as the changes are being mandated by State/TAG. Vendor information will be provided for those wanting to purchase additional items.
Due to the uniform change for Maritime, it was discussed that we explore having the State provide funding for one OCP uniform set for each Maritime SM, as this guidance will mandate a uniform change from what Maritime members have already purchased. Not finalized but all agreed upon this.
I have requested a set of the changed nametapes and patches from a vendor, to begin modeling the changes for our SM to see how they will appear in (what we anticipate) final approved form. If/when approved, we will provide multiple vendor sources for SM to utilize for their own out-of pocket purchases, beyond the initial issue.
Let me know your thoughts, as this is going to happen, and we must be prepared to address anticipated resistance to various changes. Ultimately, the goal is to make the CSG into a State Defense Force that is distinctive in appearance and united in effort, while continuing our service to the State alongside the National Guard.

    First and foremost is the Why, of course. On the Army side, the CA flag replacing the National flag at least makes sense, and won’t needlessly burden CSG members financially (the velcro CA flag is $5 on eBay). But the black and silver nametapes are just garish, as well as counterproductive: why wear camoflage at all with these ridiculous-looking, attention-grabbing nametapes you can see from a mile away? What was wrong with the way it was [the OCP California tapes]? They looked professional, matched the uniform, and established the wearer as a State Guardsman (as opposed to a National Guardsman). The gaudy silver/black tapes are just plain embarrassing, frankly. As for the Maritime side, an even bigger WHY. One would logically assume that the Maritime CSG members may need to support USN, USNR, or USCG missions… NONE of whom wear Army OCP uniforms, obviously. Spano’s unnecessary change to the Maritime uniform won’t increase readiness one iota, but it WILL cause major dissent among Maritime members who are rightfully proud of their naval heritage, and it WILL cost CA taxpayers $56,000 to reimburse Maritime members (I assume Spano is at least aware that the boots, belts, T-shirts, field jackets, and some equipment items will all have to be replaced as well). Is this REALLY the best use of CSG funding Spano can come up with? A token gasoline reimbursement to CSG members who drive up to 80 or 90 miles (EACH WAY, in some cases) to attend drill would at least make it SEEM like Spano gives a crap about his entirely-volunteer force, rather than wasting it on destroying their moral and making them look goofy. Just my two cents.

Ces derniers peuvent être efficaces mais notez que les femmes atteintes d’endométriose ont 4 fois plus de risque d’utilisation chronique des opioïdes par rapport aux femmes non atteintes.

    Diese Initiative haben wir mt dem Ziel gestartet, ein globales Selbstausschlusssystem zu schaffen, das es gefährdeten Spielern ermöglicht, ihren Zugang zu allen Online-Glücksspielmöglichkeiten global zu sperren. Der Cygnus 2 Slot hat uns wirklich gut gefallen. Die Optik ist gelungen. Die Features ebenso. Avalanche- und Gravity-Feature, Freispiele, Multiplikatoren und die Chance sich verschiedene Bonusspiele käuflich freizuschalten… Spielerherz was willst Du mehr? Vielleicht einen etwas besseren RTP-Wert. Aber ansonsten überzeugt der Slot. Wollt Ihr weitere Slots der Elk Studios anspielen? Dann schaut bei Stars of Orion oder Grand Galore vorbei. Seit dem Aufkommen moderner Online-Spielautomaten haben sich zunehmend auch grafisch aufwändigere Spiele etablieren können. Besonders häufig sind sie in Science-Fiction- oder Zukunfts-Szenarien angesiedelt – je bunter, actionreicher und lauter, desto besser. Zu den beliebtesten Spielen des Genres gehören Spiele wie Reactoonz, Cygnus 2 oder Mystery Missio to the Moon.

    These false lashes are as close to a lash extension as you can get — and they are the easiest fake lashes to put on. They come in a bunch of different styles and lengths but look seamless no matter which ones you try. Like the other false lashes in this section, these bond to your natural lashes rather than your lash line and can last multiple days once you’ve perfected the application. Same quality as best overall lashes Just seconds from Selfridges in central London you’ll find Edyta Kurowska (otherwise known as Edy London). The lash extention extraordinaire has been the trusted celebrity choice for years, counting Trinny Woodall, Lily Allen and Ellie Goulding as clients. If you’re new to the world of eyelash extensions or have been searching for the perfect look, Edy specialises in the most natural-seeming feathery lashes which she personalises to your individual eye shape, making them undetectable to the untrained eye.

    It’s hard to believe that we are nearly a year into living life through a pandemic.  Many of our followers talk of missing the little moments of TLC and joy that a trip to the salon brought when getting a monthly top up of lashes or long lasting gel nails.  We have had to slowly adjust to the new normal which means those self-care treats in the salon are no longer an option for us but that doesn’t mean, that beautiful nails and lashes are completely off the menu.  The brand KISS has just extended their range with some must-haves to get you through the new few months where you’ll not only look great but feel good too.   kiss Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe Black How We Use Cookies LANKIZ Manga Lashes Natural Look Lash Clusters Anime Lashes False Eyelashes Individual Lashes Extensions Korean Makeup Asian Fake Eyelashes Mink Wispy Fluffy Cluster Lashes(Cluster-01 PLUS D Curl) Manga D-MIX 8-16mm plus

    Quando me proponho a ler um livro de filosofia, eu busco aprender algo que sirva como instrumento interpretativo para o mundo. Por exemplo, em O Nascimento da Tragédia — o primeiro livro de Nietzsche e o que mais recomendo a vocês — eu aprendi sobre o Apolíneo e o Dionísico, parâmetros estéticos que uso até hoje para analisar obras de arte. Não aprendi nada em Zaratustra e nem senti que entendi mais da filosofia de Nietzsche. Isso não significa que desisti do filósofo, afinal ainda pretendo ler A Genealogia da Moral e Além do Bem e do Mal, mas serão leituras para um futuro distante. Essa slot possui uma volatilidade bastante alta. O valor mínimo de aposta é de 0,10€, enquanto aposta máxima atinge os 100€ por rodada. O jogo tem uma porcentagem de Retorno Para o Jogador que está em 95,6%. Quanto ao jackpot, digamos que não há possibilidade de que isso seja progressivo, mas tem um jackpot muito bom:  500.000€ ou 5.000€.
