Point Paper/Letter Re: Aviation Greens.

I came down with a case of the FOS.

At my retirement seminar they said that we were allowed to continue to wear Navy uniforms for official functions, and I believe they said we could either wear the current uniform or the equivalent uniform that was being worn at the time of our retirement. So maybe someday in the future you'll see a retired officer rocking AVGs while everyone wishes they could...

Ahh. Well, you knew that was more likely going into your change of community. I remember the discussion here. Sorry to hear. We will be thrilled by the next chapter of Master's Life and Times sooner then expected.

Male Gigolo. It's what my next plan is.

Actually, I'm going back into mad scientist/inventor mode. I'm turning my garage into a small fab shop. Picking up a TIG welder on my way home from leave (its in PA, I'm in NH going back to Norfolk).

Might see the practicality of going back to running a Welding/Metal Fab shop as a "Day Job" while doing freelance engineering on the side.

What happened to the F-16 ANG plan... then shortly after that you could transition to U2s... and then who knows... I think you should try to reach 5 airframes before you call it quits.

The ANG gig is like rushing a frat. I'm gonna try, but a lot is going to be personality and timing.

Sooooooooooooo ... is THAT the problem, M/B ... ??? :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

 

[MasterBates]

Yes. I don't have one.

while doing freelance engineering on the side.

How exactly do you freelance engineer? Take out a classified ad?

 

[MasterBates]

Firms need design work. It's possible to do contract on the side work when places are short engineers.

I used to do it with FEA work.

Soooo.... Is it worth picking up a new set of AWG's when I fly over to Korea? Best tailor shop around but what's the deal with the uniform? Is it regulated to my closet?

 

[MasterBates]

Depends on how much your CO wants to "Care".

If things like the "Red Ripper Jackets" and other squadron specific stuff are worn as "uniforms" in your squadron, then maybe.

Or you could be like me and just wear it (on appropriate occasions like CONA events)

 

[SynixMan]

For whatever it's worth, AWGs are off the BUPERS site. Only working uniforms listed are NWUs, PT, and Coveralls...

 

[Grumman1]

It seems like this thread/fight has died off and I wanted to bring it back to the fore. Bates, any news? I have a couple guys I'm winging with Friday express some interest in the AWG' after I explained to them what they're all about. Can I/we do anything to help at this point. Please let me know. This is too important to let go.

 

[MasterBates]

They are gone, as am I.
