Thanks Airrace,

Travis is a litte far and my weekends are all full with flying a Cessna 182RG I just purchased   Now if I could only fly to Travis, and take a base taxi to MCSS

The military tailor doesn't have to be an "Air Force" tailor, any military tailor should be able to do this for you. Is there another military base near you? Having a tailor not familiar with what has to be done is like going to a dermetologist for an appendectomy! Is he qualified yes, Do you want him doing it? Only as a last resort.

I just took some pictures of the mess dress shoulder loops.  I placed a tape measure through the loops so you could see how far from the shoulder seam they are.  Also, I placed the tape measure (on the second photo) next to the loop and drew white lines so you could see how long and wide they are.  I was surprised that the loops aren't parallel to each other.  I'm not sure if this is necessary (some sort of taylorific imperative), but I had mine done by an AFEES taylor.  It seems to work.

I hope this helps.

Think of me as a computer geek with two highly skilled, federally licensed chauffeurs who don't mind a back seat driver. 

Wow licensed chauffeurs, in Cali we're Bus Drivers

Thanks again GC... I got my Mess Dress all set up with my Butter Bar shoulder boards, wings, and my two medals

Two medals, shesh, it took me 12 years to get my first (and only) medal in the Canadian Air Force - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces_Decoration.

Since I can't wear it officially.. I'll wear it behind my left lapel

I know... [darn] Canuck!

Yeah, I know what you mean.  For the first three years in the army all I had was a bolo badge (marksmanship) and jump wings.  That was in the days before the Mexican general look.
