Another new uniform
« on: November 21, 2018, 06:10:24 PM »
First the Army introduced a new uniform, and now the Air Force is apparently planning on revamping their Dress Blue uniform to make it look more ... like a uniform.

Everything old is new again...

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Hopefully they'll implement these changes before I board for E7.  I haven't bothered sewing E6 onto my dress uniforms yet.  Cheapest I can find around here is $14/patch or $56 minimum for jacket and shirt.

I have a sewing kit. :P  I'm just bad at it.

I'm a dual-status technician, fed employee during the week but still required to wear fatigues. Yes it's dumb.  The dress uniform issue is for Guard related activities.

Sewing patches is easy as long as nobody's going to be looking at the back side.  Use a little fusible interfacing to hold it in place, pick thread that's a perfect match for the border thread and stitch it down.

Oh, it already looks like a uniform.  Trouble is, it looks like the uniform of an unarmed corporate security guard/receptionist.
