I am curious to know if CCDA has truly been abolished, or if the orderly room clerk simply did not want to deal with my question.
I was on course in Texas about a year ago, 5 days long. On this course, civilian clothes was the ordered dress. I received 5 days CCDA.
I am now going on course in North Carolina, 2 days long. Also civilian clothes only, however the clerk has informed me that CCDA no longer exists.
Could someone in the Clerk world shed some light on this for me?
I looked up the CBI, and I believe the instance would relate to Table A of CBI 205.575 Serial 7:
205.575 - CASUAL CIVILIAN DRESS
