Those were still in vogue in the 1980’s. I’ll bet @mad dog still has his somewhere (and can still fit in them)!

A little out of focus. I must have been more concerned with a buddy flying from the right seat while I shot this close aboard pic.
Who doesn't want to fly in the Navy after a recruiter like this. When I flew with him we conducted road recce, attacked a damn, and practiced engine out approaches.
Least anyone think this guy was off the golden path, had nothing to lose or otherwise had no regard for regs and SOP, you'd be wrong. He was a top officer and aviator. He went on to be the Handler on my first ship, commanded an A-7 squadron, commanded VFA-125 and was NAVAIRES, San Diego. Back then recruiting was absolutely not a negative assignment for aviators. It was considered production no less than the VTs or the RAG.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!
Shit! I have literally opened Pandora’s Box...and it is filled with @mad dog stuff!
Way ahead of you, dude...today is “college day”...so I’m currently wearing some of my alma mater stuff and some of my fraternity stuff...
The Rose Garden. Full of fire ants. Only slightly better than the Black Hole (mud pit where the AC drained) as the ant bites went away quicker than the rash from being PTed wet (and having to continue wearing the wet PT gear).
Wrong shorts...no points.
Fuck...gimme a break, man...my original AOCS shorts took a dump way back in the early 1990s...at least I have Navy shorts on...
You failed to take care of issued gear? What the what!?!

You never learn Candidate. Two hours EMI for not taking care of issue gear and two hours EMI for not accepting responsibility. One hour EMI for being out of uniform. I'll see you on the sea wall Saturday morning. NOW do you have anything to say...Candidate?
You're talking to the demerit king... what did you expect?
Ummm...yeppers...this Candidate says he will NOT see you on the sea wall Saturday morning because this Candidate says...
D!
O!

LATE ENTRY: And this Candidate also says that you can’t make me un-DOR...neener, neener, neener. ?
