"Quick, let's run over there and beat it."

"Are we in the correct uniform to beat one?"

"Doesn't matter.  No one really cares anyway.  Besides we are wearing our Ranger berets so we are badass."

"What uniform are those other guys wearing?"

"Oh, that is the special ceremonial uniform."

"Cool.  Can I wear it?"

"No.  It is 'special'."

"Special how"

"Special, as in dead horse ceremonial beating special".

"Who can wear it?"

"Only those on CAP Talk who have at least 100 proven instances of beating a dead horse."

Nah, blue is the worst possible color (except of course black) to use for reflective apparel.  ;)

I remember when we went to the current new-style jacket.  I believe their excuse at the time was that the old-style jacket looked "too Army".  Thus began the era of looking like airline pilots (before they put the officer grade insignia back on the shoulder!).

My Group CC at the time was also an AF Reserve lieutenant colonel, and when the McPeak jacket first came out he said that he was retiring.  His quote:  "If I wanted to look like I worked for Delta Air Lines, I'd go to work for Delta Air Lines."  He added a few things that I can't mention here, and - as far as I know - did indeed retire.

That'd be a Stable Belt, indicating the wearer's branch/regiment/etc.  It's most commonly used in the uniforms of UK/Commonwealth countries.

You guys think a picture of an injured animal is funny?  I hope you treat your pets better. >:(

If it was a French Regiment, they would have the regimental cooks out there with cleavers.
