so that begs the question, what color were his shoes?

Civilians and flight jackets.

Get over it....there a few worse offenses IMHO. Here's one that chaps my a$$:
1. Intel Officer (w/o wings) wearing a LEATHER FLIGHT jacket in uniform.

I guess it's ok for ex-pilot JAG officers to wear it then?
yeah.... I saw this guy with his jacket on the other day... I kicked his ass.
I call BS. That kid's a killer. You can see it in his eyes. He would have wiped the floor with any of us.
You're kidding me?!? I too had my flight jacket in San Diego?! What are the odds?!?
What are the chances...I had mine in San Diego as well.
Bevo...it's Iceland...who cares, they're drunk all the time there as it stands.
Yeah, and the next time I see some clown around town with a Raiders hat or Jersey on I am going up to them and tell them that they are not really on the team and should not be wearing that.
Me,personally, I never wear anything with which I do not have a personal affiliation.
I won't even buy clothing with lame ass logos. Won't ever see me in a "no fear" shirt or such.

This was also Skeeterman's M.O. as well, but of course, we all now know how he felt the need to take on another's persona and broadcast tall tales in addition to just the EBay collecting interest.
But if your guy is not "pretending" to be someone he's not -- nor "telling tales" ... I'd probably just let it go and feel sorry for him. Collecting is one thing, wearing is another -- when it's not his own. I wouldn't do it. He has no life to "relive" ... just the warm glow of other, better men to bask in ... kind of sad when you get right down to it.
Like I said, personally -- I wouldn't "wear" it if I hadn't earned it -- example: I didn't even buy an EOD ballcap at an airshow a few years back. The guys looked at me kinda strange when I declined -- I said "I haven't earned it, and I'm certain you wouldn't wear Naval Aviator Wings, either -- unless you'd earned them."
I threw $5 into the kitty and walked away ... they still thought me "strange" but that's their problem.
I wonder where anyone would get that impression... boggles the mind.
I am glad we are not locked in a room in the movie "Saw" trying to figure out what we all have in common...........

Moving back to something related to the originally posted topic....
well, in this case more of a 'related' tangent... but I heard a guy got Canned for selling TOPGUN patches to civs some years back...
Is there truth to this rumor??

Reminds me of this time I was on PTAD doing recruiting at a university. I set up the display next to the hot Air Force chicks and started talking to people. I set out my Mameluke sword and my dress blue cover with my white gloves....cuz it looks pimp. Anyways....this foriegn exchange type student walks over to me and was like..."Oh how cool...can I try on your cover and see your sword?....and I was in a good mood so I let him check out my stuff..
And then that frickin idiot unsheaths the Mameluke...and when he puts it back in the scabbord it wasn't quite in straight....and he grinded the blade all the way down as he put it back.....
I wanted to rip his fucking throat out. End rant.
