Medical evac seems more like hung over in their room, while we can call a beer run a medical re-supply mission. :D

I'll dance with ya, private! It's been a bit, but I still remember the basics of the waltz enough to try and make up something flashy. :D

Ok...photos of the subdued rank insignia just to give people looking at the thread something to see at the bottom.




Oh, and a knife that will be part of my kit, and an airsoft pistol that *might*.

Hiya Colonel !

Shiny rank insignia! I'm surprised at how well the insignia fits with the coat. With the rank only being on the collar,it's a good thing we're a small bunch so that we can easily just memorise everyone's rank,so we make sure to salute the right people.But I suppose the rule of thumb for privates is to just salute everyone!
Definitely take the pistol,if I may suggest sir,it seems very appropriate for an officer to carry a sidearm.It would also be ideal to have some uniformity of cutlery.Is that knife going to be standard issue? If so,where would folks find one like it?

So I think I'm going to try to get back onto the Proboard by registering under a different name.I've decided it's not really necessary for me to use my FFF.net handle on the Proboard,my rank and name should be sufficient.
Before I forget.About the longsleeve three button henley that goes under the vest,I recall you recommended the Walmart version of that.FYI,I was told that item was considered seasonal
and was being marked down to make way for new stuff and that it would return sometime in the fall. Unfortunately they were out of the brown.On the bright side,I have managed to locate a version of this from an outfitter called Cabella's.They describe it as a pigment-dyed henley although it might be just a little more heavyweight than the Walmart version.It comes in two colors that might work for us: rawhide or chamois.Check out www.cabellas.com.
