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? http://www.tailhook.org/3Crowd.htm ____________ José Herculano |

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... P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |

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... |

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. "Yofuri" wrote... Are you referring to the khaki pithpot? "John Weiss" wrote Don't forget the safari hats with Trop Khaki Short... |
