Hey ... Did Ya Notice?

[ColonelJack]

CAPTalk went more than 24 hours with NO uniform item messages being posted!

For a group that loves to talk uniforms, that's extraordinary.

Give yourselves a hand!

Hey!  That reminds me....I got this idea for pink tutus....we can wear them as part of the aircrew uniforms in case we have to bail out! 

[Psicorp]

Hey!  That reminds me....I got this idea for pink tutus....we can wear them as part of the aircrew uniforms in case we have to bail out! 

*grin* kinda like parachute pants, huh?

Can you wear metal rank on your hat with the tutu uniform?

Only if you exceed weight standards but are clean shaven....and only on vernal equinox in odd-numbered years, whilst drinking "Crystal Pepsi" (if you can find it.)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Pepsi

I think that clears up the circumstances.....doesn't it?

[LtCol White]

The pink tutu is an outgrowth of the orange triangle from the vehicles. It will help aircrews spot other crews that have bailed out in the forests.

[LtCol White]

and matching reflective safety pink vest!

[arajca]

and matching reflective safety pink vest!

No. Vest mut be neon flouresent slime green with no less that 1800 square inches of reflective striping.

[LtCol White]

Pink and green....TOGETHER? Are you crazy??!!

[arajca]

Yes.

Can you wear metal rank on your hat with the tutu uniform?

We hereby petition the Uniform Committee of the CAPtalk National Board to authorize the creation of the "tutu uniform", referred to henceforth as the "TTU".  We ask that you unofficially solicite member comments, but do not actually pay attention to them.   

[LtCol White]

I support calling it the TPTTU

[DNall]

^

Pink and green....TOGETHER? Are you crazy??!!

With brown shoes & blue socks.

[Psicorp]

I support calling it the TPTTU

Ahh, so now it's a TTU with a double breasted safety vest?

[DNall]

And desert camo pants so we can be mroe like the AF. Can the beret be for garrison wear only & in the field you wear a boonie hat?

[carnold1836]

Hey lets not get to carried away here. Remember National does read these boards apparently, they could think we are serious and run with the idea.

[Lancer]

Did ya'll not get enough time with your ColorForms™ during recess? 

[Chris Jacobs]

what about adding sandels as optional footwear.

[lordmonar]

Can you wear metal rank on your hat with the tutu uniform?

Yes but the hat will be an Ultramarine blue "Lord Nelson" hat with a white feather (Red for region and Yellow for National)

[SKYKING607]

What t-shirt do I wear under the TuTu Corporate Uniform?  V-neck or crew neck?  What color....

[lordmonar]

What t-shirt do I wear under the TuTu Corporate Uniform?  V-neck or crew neck?  What color....

Wife Beaters only....and they have to be orange!

[Psicorp]

What t-shirt do I wear under the TuTu Corporate Uniform?  V-neck or crew neck?  What color....

Wife Beaters only....and they have to be orange!

Don't worry though, most of that will be covered up by the florescent green sash the merit badges go on.

[lordmonar]

Wife Beaters only....and they have to be orange!

Don't worry though, most of that will be covered up by the florescent green sash the merit badges go on.

The sash should be jet black.....that would look cool....plus the vest is already green and it would not stand out enough!

Okay so lets summarise.

We got:

Brown low quarters (with brown sandals optional)
Blue Socks
Dessert BDU pants
Orange Wife Beater T-shirt
Slime Green Reflective vest (to be worn at all times not just in the field)
Pink Tutu
Blue Pirates hat with medal rank and appropriate feather
Black Sash with "Merit badges" (one for each ES rating, achievement, all your ribbons and every activity you go to).

Oh.....and Gortex jackets are NOT allowed as they interfere with the tutu!

I like it!

Authorize a ribbon comperable to the "medal of valor" for wearing the TTU in public and I recommend passage as is.

[lordmonar]

Oh I forgot.....swords....we have to authorise swords.....I'm thinking ninja swords.....what say you all?

[LTC_Gadget]

Pink and green....TOGETHER? Are you crazy??!!

Remember that the Army dress uniform in WWII was called "Pinks & Greens"  The khaki pants had a pinkish cast to them, and the service coat was green horseblanket wool.. Nooo, I wasn't there.  But my dad told me about seeing them...    We're getting more uniform combinations that the dadgummed Marines... And theirs still look sharper!

[Psicorp]

Oh I forgot.....swords....we have to authorise swords.....I'm thinking ninja swords.....what say you all?

Full size katana hilts, six inch blade?

[LTC_Gadget]

Oh I forgot.....swords....we have to authorise swords.....I'm thinking ninja swords.....what say you all?

This is the twenty-first century.  Shouldn't we be thinking Light-staffs, ala Sith gear? 

[DNall]

Holy crap, why didn't I think of it before!?! We don't need FLIR & CBRNE detectors, we need X-wings to track these new ELTs & be of best use in HLS missions.

[Pylon]

Three shouldercords, a Fourragere, and a neck-order medal should also be worn. 

[DNall]

What t-shirt do I wear under the TuTu Corporate Uniform?  V-neck or crew neck?  What color....

Wife Beaters only....and they have to be orange!

With "SEARCH & RESCUE" on the back in giant reflective letters. Then other missions in smaller lettering trailing off toward the crack, AE being at the bottom, and "will work for AvGas" on the front with the NOC's number.

Three shouldercords, a Fourragere, and a neck-order medal should also be worn. 

And a bright shiny whistle with lanyard that matches the pistol belt color... varries by ES qualification - may involve stripes for levels.

But none of this can ship till we get the extra special buttons, don't forget that, and they are still on backorder trying to cover all the TPU jackets.

[lordmonar]

Oh I forgot.....swords....we have to authorise swords.....I'm thinking ninja swords.....what say you all?

This is the twenty-first century.  Shouldn't we be thinking Light-staffs, ala Sith gear? 

Ohhh....I like the way you think!.....we can use the color of the blades to tell what rank you are!!

Ok, I find myself wondering how the different colors of light would play out in varying conditions, etc. and wonder about a different strategy.. What if, at the base of the light beam, just above the hilt, it was interstected by 'hashes' of light in half and full stripes like naval sleeve braid?   How sick izzat??

I've just discovered the reason CAP membership is dropping. All the sane people left.

[LTC_Gadget]

I've just discovered the reason CAP membership is dropping. All the sane people left.

Well, obviously, I can't speak for anyone else, but mine, at least, is nothing more than dry, extreme, tongue-in-cheek humor; a stress reliever during a welluvaheek. It's the sane  people that need a release; the insane don't care. Some of us have lived through so many hair-brained ideas/schemes that we have to laugh about it. The only alternative is to cry, scream, or run around in circles.  It's about perspective.  So, if we're still here, puttin' up with it, I'd say we weren't the problem.  Besides, sayin' it is one thing; doin' it is somethin' else again.  Have a great day, what's left of it.

All of a sudden, I'm sorry I mentioned it.

I'm down with that.

I think I've seen  this uniform. I can't remember if it was the Libarance museum or in the waiting room at work (ER in Vegas)

Golf Shirt.....Don't forget his Golf shirt ! He's gotta have a Golf shirt!!!!

[DNall]

[SarDragon]

Pink and green....TOGETHER? Are you crazy??!!

I want mine in a "pink and purple tuck and roll". [Free donut and cup of coffee to anyone who can provide the original reference.]

[SKYKING607]

Someone wants out?

"2B or not to 2B....sign here and find out!"

[SAR-EMT1]

The  Leather Flight Jacket must be made an official accessory to the TPTTU.
But the Leather shall be - Burnt Orange with Neon Yellow Sleeves.

Won't work, it doesn't do enough to hide the donuts stains...

[Fifinella]

Pink and green....TOGETHER? Are you crazy??!!

Ummm, Hel-lo!  Doesn't anybody remember the 80's?  Pink and green totally go together - preferably in a nice preppy plaid, fer sure.  Don't forget the sweater around the neck either.  Like, Izod, 'natch.

[arajca]

Don't forget the blood chit.

[Psicorp]

Sheesh...you guys are making more changes to the TTU than are out for the TPU.

[LtCol White]

Because we can!!!

[Trung Si Ma]

Can we get Maroon Airline Rank Stripes on the sleeves of the leather jacket?

[LtCol White]

OK, now lets not make the new uniform tacky. We're shooting for a professional look here. Silly suggestions are not helpful or productive.

[lordmonar]

Can we get Maroon Airline Rank Stripes on the sleeves of the leather jacket?

No!  maroon is the forbidden color....in fact we should pass a CAPR that makes maroon a non-con color and uttering the "M" word would be an automatic 2b offense!

[RogueLeader]

This is the twenty-first century.  Shouldn't we be thinking Light-staffs, ala Sith gear? 

Ohhh....I like the way you think!.....we can use the color of the blades to tell what rank you are!!

It's Liightsaber, not light staff.
get it straight

NO! I want a light scimitar, with a nice broad curve.

[RogueLeader]

Yeah, and I want a Super Star Destroyer, it ain't gonna happen, at least right now.

[DNall]

dude I'm still waiting on my hover car to be issued to me. Disney promised when I was a kid on that world of tomorrow show, & I'm STILL waiting.

[RogueLeader]

Well the Air Force tried building hovercraft in the 50's and 60's but it didn't work.  I don't see how Disney could beat Brother Blue.

[DNall]

That was the 50s, come a long way since then, and you know very well mickey can do anything, especially with that scrooge guy to finance it.

[sardak]

Probably not, but our amphibious brothers figured out the concept well enough to get these:

How about extra large pockets on the uniform so we can store cookies, cakes, doughnuts, candy and diet sodas?

Well, I was referring to the double-ended device that Darth Moll carried, not the electronic version of the swords, sabres, scimitars that everyone else carries..  In the non-electronic martial arts, that long stick is referred to as a staff.. Add the electronics.... light staff.  K?...

[BillB]

If the light staff was used Nationally, wouldn't that be a National Staff?

[Psicorp]

How about extra large pockets on the uniform so we can store cookies, cakes, doughnuts, candy and diet sodas?

I'm certain a florescent green/pink fanny pack could be authorized, sir. 

[davedove]

dude I'm still waiting on my hover car to be issued to me. Disney promised when I was a kid on that world of tomorrow show, & I'm STILL waiting.

Or, to quote Red Foreman from That 70's Show, "They promised me hovercraft!"
