yep...very often the winter blues uniform was the last thing you wanted to be wearing when you got off the plane at Clark AFB...
And yes, those un-dress whites were almost as big of a PITA as the dress whites where. What made even less sense was attempting to own a pair of Corfam dress inspection shoes in a flight-deck non-skid environment. One mis-step, and those $40 shoes looked like you tried to shine them with a brick...
$40? When did they ever cost just $40? You must have found a pair on the strip off base;)
