So.
Unless you're drilling there's no cause to be in uniform.

Not to jump into the flames here, but this wasn't just an old sailor serving
out his reserve decades, this was a young '**** hot' fighter pilot. Have you
ever known one that didn't manage to tell you what he was within the first five
minutes you knew him??

It took you five minutes?

I once witnessed five enlisted crew-dogs in flight suits pick-up chicks
claiming to be "fighter" pilots (five minutes +/- tops) at a Red Flag motel.
I felt kind of dirty just watching :-)

Maybe she was homely looking??

And, I hit the ground running one weekend at Nellis. Got the shave,
shower, and splash of "Sure-f***" so I smelled good. Then went to the
bar on Friday night. Met a sweet thing, bought her a few drinks and
then put the "let's go to dinner" move on her. She said, "no"--she
only goes out with fighter pilots and I couldn't be one because I
wasn't in a goat bag.

So much for good grooming points.
