Serving the Members of the Civil Air Patrol since 1963
ABOUT US
"The Hock Shop" ...Isn't that a weird name for a uniform accessory source? Actually it's not so strange - but before I tell you about it, let me tell you something about myself. I'm a senior member of Civil Air Patrol, and have been a member since joining as a cadet in 1956 in Maine. When I moved to Massachusetts, the unit that I was with at the time was having difficulty obtaining uniform accessories for its members. (This was before the "CAP Bookstore", predecessor to CAP-Mart, started selling uniform accessories). The local store which sold the items had a habit of selling senior items to cadets and vise versa. This, understandably, caused a lot of headaches for everyone. I figured that if I put up a few dollars, I could buy a few of the basic Civil Air Patrol items, and put the profits from the sales back into inventory. The cadets, meanwhile, would be able to buy what they needed easily, and for less money they could elsewhere. Word of this little enterprise spread to nearby units which expressed a desire to buy their Civil Air Patrol items from me rather than to send away and have to wait. One year, I was asked to bring my "box of goodies" to a summer encampment. While there, one of the cadets in a group which was looking over my display, made a comment to one of his fellow cadets in which he referred to my operations as "The Hock Shop". Well, the name stuck, and by word of mouth, spread throughout the Wing, eventually getting back to me. As everyone around knew my hitherto unnamed operation as "The Hock Shop", "The Hock Shop" it became.
