Can't say I like the PVC. Looks like it would make a decent coaster on the bar though.

There was a RIO that would wear it at UF after I commissioned. It was unique, so it looked sharp. Not sure if it would be as cool if everyone was doing it though. But it would be a nice bit of tradition.
I always kept a 2-cell flash light in there. Super easy to get to when sitting, even with the annoying CMU-33 leg straps. I really wish I had that pocket now, as I have to keep my flash light in my left hand (pocket pool) pocket which isn't very secure and wears out the pocket liner.
@Birdbrain The great standardization of 2011-2013 ended up pretty well I'd say. I wouldn't change anything about the current flight suit regs in terms of how they can be worn, with a small exception for cloth epaulets vs sewn on rank. Could easily sanitize for combat, would be more visible from a distance, and looks more "naval".
That being said, I would enshrine them as a working uniform/NWU equivalent in all forms and stop lower leaders from banning them. Flight suit hate is strong outside CNAF commands and they all want to treat it like coveralls. Everyone with wings earned the right to wear a flight suit and shouldn't have to get into rhetorical wars with SWOs about it. While I generally fall under the "be careful what you wish for" mantra, I struggle to see a downside to this.
There should probably be some standardization of two-piece flight suits put out, but given the pointy-nose centric nature of CNAF/CNAL, I doubt we'll see it.

I used to keep a little multitool in. (It's true- I hate Safety.)
Well thank god there is now guidance on masks to repel the scourge of inappropriate mask wearing:
They stopped referring to themselves as "The NUB." Heh.
(But they'll always be the NUB in our memories and our hearts...)
smh
I know it is absolute total heresy for the hands-in-pocket police, but when I had custom green and tan flightsuits made (for size), I had them made with front pockets. Those things are awesome. Still works fine with a harness and what-not when empty.

Gibson & Barnes is America's premier source for flight suits, flame-resistant clothing, helmets, and personal body cooling.
Thought he was referring to the often shiny black leather name tags many of you all wear, vs fabric embroidered ones that are more common on the USN side. Guess not
I'm a big fan of the hand pockets now that I have them. I just wish the rest of my uniform was more practical. I may see if I can order a different cut from G&B through my company that's more like the military issued cut. I think I've seen a Med Crew with a set and I found them online, it's just a matter of getting the order lady to understand why I want something different.
Complement either her nails or her shoes...or both...you'll get your flight suit.
Complement with what? Something like a purse or scarf?
She's about 1500 miles away, so...yeah.
Her voice?
In the meantime I hope the rescue plain saw my flair so I can get back to the hanger.
