We went through our supply of blues a few weeks ago, and there were quite a few female pants in there, that I swear, couldn't have had a waist size out of the teens. I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone that tiny.

So, my daughter just became a member.   I borrowed some X-Short BDUs from a local Squadron, but my she is still dwarfed by them.  Does anyone know of a good source of BDUs for teeny-tiny Cadets, where hopefully you can order by the sizes used in normal clothes?   And before anyone asks, tailoring is out.  The BDU blouse can be almost wrapped all the way around her and buttoned in the back.  :D

Well, if you have cotton BDU's, then you could just wash and dry them. ;D
Well, if she is that small, you might be able to just hem (hemming) them at a dry cleaners. That might work.

Hlaloween costume BDU's???  ;D ;D ;D

In looking over the status of uniforms last night, I remarked "We either need smaller uniforms or larger cadets.." and then I said sort of sotto voce "You hear that? Start eating more!"

I tried the Twinkie diet with my kids.  None of them like Twinkies...   :o

Wait:  I thought we decided that "the knifehand is bad, mmkay?"...

Or are Twinkies an exception?  What am I saying?  Of course Twinkies are an exception!

..and in 3 days you can get Twinkies for tiny cadets to eat and grow. ;-)

Though actually, some Wally World locations have Twinkies now. Early.

Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of negative energy on this board. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Still a major after all these years.

Is that actual scale? I'm not sure how long Twinkies are, or how much they weigh, but if I did, I could figure that out really quickly.  ;D
