On this uniform the "US" insignia are displayed incorrectly, as they should be parallel to the ground.

On US Army uniforms the "US" is always
perpendicular to the cut of the uniform lapel.

It is never parallel to the ground.

He's wearing a pre-2000 U.S. Air Force uniform, but during my stint as a zoomie I probably had more than a few jacked up brass days.

Does anyone else have a problem with his PPK's impossible caliber? In this case I'm assuming the interviewer confused 6.25 and 6.35 (aka .25 ACP, a very rare caliber in the pre-war production PPs, which were almost all in 7.65 mm and 9 mm 'kurz').
