Alright, then. I hereby nominate RIMG for the position of Sergeant First Class for the contribution of beer and cookies in the position of Medic for the 76th.
Second?

I know I'm not an actual part of the Battalion, but I always feel like it's ok for me to weigh in with my opinion.
The differently colored scarves seem like a very good idea. Blue for officers, green for...I don't know, non-coms maybe?, and red for infantry/enlisted folk.
I 3rd the motion for BWTP to be second in command.
Nameplates on the uniforms...forgive my military ignorance (dad was Navy, I should know better), but don't a lot of the guys/gals go by nicknames anyway? Last names on a tag would be BORING! Nicknames, though....whoowee! I imagine you wouldn't see many officers with "BABYWITHTHEPOWER" on their uniforms. LOL.
Should you care to add me:

BWTP...the only thing I could find on the website that needs correcting is the text on the uniform page. It's floating under the pictures in places, and therefore unreadable.
Other than that, spot on!

He's got my vote. Does that meant that ArtCat will get to be our LT? We can't verywell have a respectable unit without at least one LT running around. Who would do all the CPT and COL's work?
And rather than Supply, Art, I think Armoror would be a better title.

In this case, I would go for it. Though in the Army (not posative about the other branches) it's agains regulations to have anything but your last name on your uniform, though my unit let us put our callsigns on the back of our soft cap for when we were in the field. (Hence me mentioning Caboose).

Drat, I knew that would happen. Different resolutions are going to move the items around. I'll see what I can do.

BWTP, good idea. I hereby change the nomination for ArtCat to Lieutenant/Armorer.
Second?
Boomer, thank you for the second on RIMG and the third on BWTP.
BWTP, thanks for the third on RIMG.
So be it.
BWTP is our XO. I am not sure of what that means rank-wise...but I am sure you do!
RIMG is our Sergeant First Class.
Boomer, I have no problem including you, under one condition 
. If you don't plan on marching, would you at least think about wearing the uniform?
I like the idea of blue scarves for the officers, green for the non-coms, red for the enlisted. Everyone else ok with that?
I do like the idea of screen names or nicknames for our uniforms. Shiny!

Sounds good. And it's Captain btw. RIMG, I'll need a name to go after the SFC. SFC is as high as I think we chould go enlisted for the mean time. We don't really have enough troops to support needing a higher rank. (I know this is all just for fun, but we need to maintain some level of realism).
Made a few more updates to the site. I've been up now for 24hrs straight. It's time for some sleep.

BWTP...I mean Captain BWTP, thank you!
I agree with you...even if it is just for fun, a semblance of organization is a very good plan. As XO, that is what you do, right? And as CO, I just agree?
Thank you again for all the work you have done on the page. It looks wonderful!
Sleep well, and we will talk to you tomorrow!

Quick update on the vest. I finally assembled the whole thing, minus the front attachments (still trying to decide what to use).
I am not happy with the cloth. It is far too thin, and I actually ripped it near the armhole...so, thicker material is needed. I also think I need to go darker with the red. I decided to stick to the simple three lines rather than the complicated cross-hatching. It will be more uniform if we all have that same look, and it cuts down on "production" time. The actual cut of the vest itself is not bad. It's comfortable and fits well.
Let me know what y'all think, and give me some ideas.

Oh, I don't know about wearing the uniform. As I said, very shy. I hate drawing attention to myself. In addition, I'm very hard to fit. Tall, big hips, small waist...you get the idea.
I don't mind being support personnel. Somebody has to be behind the scenes!
BWTP, again should you decide to add me, the DC badge nickname is actually LegendLeatherwrks.
Thanks!
