Tristan, you or one of your shiny recruits should probably set about putting together a simple website so folks interested do not have to play thread tag hunting for the info they need.
the sleeve will take me a few days but I may post progress pics before too long so yall can see, they are easy and inexpensive to make, just a bit time consuming.
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

Welcome, LostThought!
Thanks for the info on the sidearms. I knew that was a fact for most modern-day armies, but I did not know how it applied to the 'Verse.
I think I am going to stick with the G36 for uniformity's sake.
ArtCat, good idea, but I wanted to keep it here on the boards so people would see what was happening as it was happening. 
I am still looking forward to the sleeve pics!

hmmm I just realized ( with a little luck) I may have to miss D*C but if not, I'll be about 7 1/2 months pregnant so basically the only character I could go as is Petaline...sigh oh well at least I'll stand out:)

MSG, I am sure I could coddle something together that would resemble an army outfit for a pregnant lady...the helmet and gun would look good...defending hearth and home taken to a whole new level!

Military Police and Security Forces carry sidearms instead of rifles or SMG's while off-duty in war-zones. The way that the standards are actually written, all military party must be armed in a war zone unless they're performing a specific function where it would interfere. The actual reason you'll usually see such people with small arms is because they don't want to be burdened with a full sized rifle when they're not on duty.
Regardless, this would be a cool addition to the uniform if there were some sort of guidelines set to it. I have to confess, I've been toying with the idea of something beyond just the ordinary Browncoat grunt myself. I conjure up images of Independent Army Cavalry (Armored, Air, and others) and special forces groups in my mind. But I've been mostly trying to deviate from it. Every time I've made a plan for a uniform group in the past it gets ruined by everyone wanting to do their own thing, and in the end no one's able to actually work together because of it.

CMH, that is what I was afraid would happen in this case...that's why I tried to identify the two different "types" that I saw (on the last thread). But, I also know that being a Browncoat is being an independent soul, so all of this stuff is more like guidlines. I'd love to have a bunch of people look the same, but I'd be just as happy to have a few things in common among them...weapons, helmets, etc. I think RIMG is planning on being a medic version (beer and cookies in the packs!) so other things would not be a miss at all!

Rikmjwsl777, I do not know the answer to the first question, but the second question is yes...there is a Firefly Companion Guide and a Visual Guide to the movie. Both can be found online at amazon or other places.

Hey Tristan, I was just looking at the "Type A" and "Type B" uniforms on the last thread. It would appear that anyone ranked Sargent or above wears the long coat and that anyone below gets the smock, wouldn't it? The only questionable one I see to that would be the first picture you posted where you're identifying type A and type B uniforms. I don't know who that is in the picture, but I think it could be assumed that it's either an officer or an NCO. What do you think?
