Was tempted to say "pics or it never happened"…but I believe it did. Well played…but a pic WOULD be nice.

Well, I'm not actually recommending that…nor a pith helmet either.
Our QMC has a pith helmet that he wears underway with his coveralls. It's pretty sweet.
I'm wondering if he's actually quite that "old school". Maybe...
He's been in over 20 years and is about to be up for retirement. He got the helmet when he was QMC on a big deck amphib and the captain wanted all of his OODs to have a distinctive piece of headgear to distinguish them on the bridge.
You know he just wanted a better target to throw something at.
Unfortunately I don't think I have any. A bunch of albums went UA while in storage when I was at SOUTHCOM in Panama. We quit wearing the shorts because the island CO figured out the uniform regs required knee socks and low quarter shoes. We had been wearing them with our flight boots. The knee socks were just too (insert non-PC term starting with a g here).Was tempted to say "pics or it never happened"…but I believe it did. Well played…but a pic WOULD be nice.
My last deployment ( for the record it was a USNS ship) we wore green cargo shorts, Squadron T-shirts, and boots. Unfortunately, we couldn't get pith helmets!
