Flare To Land...

I can't remember if it was in this NG or elsewhere, but I remember hearing
of an instance of someone at the CAG level having a civilian tailor craft
a white double-knit ****cutter (garrison cap to uninitiated) to wear with
the Tropical White Long uniform. Can anyone expand / clarify?

Ed- You're a mere youth. The Rippers were still flying F-4s when I was
aboard. Would have been '76 or '77 during a "Flat Iron" exercise. BRBR

Ahhh yes. Sister squadron was VF-74. I was a nugget in VF-33 onboard
Independence with VF-102...

Once upon a long, long time ago (even before short-sleeved khaki shirts were
allowed), CPO's still wore dungarees, Aviation Greens were worn with matching
green elastique blouse instead of flight jacket, Stewards and Chaplains wore
gray, white garrison caps were worn with Tropical White Long and Short, and
personnel who rated so many awards and decorations that they sagged the dress
uniform could wear a sash.

Don't forget the safari hats with Trop Khaki Short...

Are you referring to the khaki pithpot?

Moon and Bullet Canepa both had one in their wardrobe for "special"
occasions.

Yep -- the pith helmet. Couldn't remember that part...

Only place I ever was stationed where we could wear them was Roosy Roads in the
70s.
