Vanguard Letter from the National Commander

[Eclipse]

thanks for the info on contacting NHQ. i ordered a regimental tie 2 March - Vanguard is saying they should have it by the end of April!

I just checked again on the tie - they replied that their supplier had pushed delivery back to 90 days. I don't have a reply back yet whether that is 90 days from original order date of 2 March or 90 days from now!

I just noticed what you ordered.  Why do you want to wear the red-striper?  Just wear the standard USAF tie, it actually looks a lot cleaner.

Gotta agree with Bob here. (Horrors!)

The regimental tie is only worn with the blazer, and the AF blue tie is the other option.

Probably only the second regimental tie Vanguard has sold in the last year....

1. because it is what i had seen as the example in the manual and other people wearing
2. because my wife thinks it looks better 

thanks for the suggestion. it was my backup plan, but will now become plan A.

Silk worms only produce regmental tie colors when the moon is in Jupiter.  Hence the delay.

I thought silk worms were Iranian Missiles?

No, they're Chinese missiles that were sold to the Iranians.

No, those would be sand worm missiles. Silk is from China ;-)
