Army Cadet Corps Flag - Damaged

[Bergeron 971]

I like the way you guys back me up,
PS, the name was a joke. I guess people started calling her George after i made that joke, But  she is a female. Just doesn't have a name.

Its not that damaged, I am a perfectionist, it has water stains. and YEARS ago when i was flag party commander I brought the flag home and fixed a tair in the border due to the pulling, and ever since did the job.

I just wanna know if shes bath capable, cause, even I take a bath ever month or so.

Our corps will be 50 in 3 or so years, and I'm helping to build the corps to what it deserves to be. The history book, pictures etc, where thrown away by the former CO, and no one know about the history of out corps. It was all in those items etc, we have a LT which was my WO when I was a newbee that's as far as we can go now,
I'm presently working on contacting people for pictures and things they have to donate for our CC.
I know we had a rich history. We just need to find it.

Talk to your local dry cleaner.  Find one that actually runs the business, not the person at the drop-off counter at the local Superstore market.

You should post a "before" pic of "George" and an after pic of her! Also when she's clean, give the cadets a speech on how not to disrespect flags.

In my opinion you're all (most of you) reading way too much into this.

A flag is a flag.  A regiments colours are honoured as important items of the regiment (for a good reason of course), but it shouldn't be a huge debate.  As a cadet and a person in general, someone giving a longwinded speech does NOTHING for peoples interest levels.  I've had lectures on leadership turn into the Boer war.  Just fix the flag, get a new flag, do SOMETHING, and ensure the flag is respected, there need not be any long winded speeches, an officer so obsessed with the flag that he's becoming a borderline psychopath, or any other special treatment.

Bottom line; fix the situation then move on, don't be paranoid and don't waste other peoples time.

that you personal opinion? Others where openly welcome to the idea of seeing the flag if cleaned etc, I think people come on the internet  TO waste time, if not they wouldn't be on in the first place, they would be doing something productive with their lives.
The original post asked a simple question, had anyone ever had a corps flag dry cleaned.
The rest people mentioned cause they felt the need.
Personally there moderation and dictacting. I see nothing wrong with the thread.

Most of this thread was a joke, such as the name George, etc. I had a laugh. I'm sure others laughed as well. That's what I'm here for, laughs and make contacts/friends, and share each others experiences.

Relax dude... it's like an episode of Seinfeld. Pointless but amusing.
