Thanks luvie!

Well now, when I was in, ('60's-'70's), unless you were Special Forces, you didn't wear a camo uniform, just OD (Olive Drab) fatigues, even in Vietnam.

So, I'm giving myself a perfect score!

I was an Engineering Duty Officer with about 12 LT’s, two chiefs, a few CWO’s, and a handful of CDR’s and Capt’s (about 28 in all) on a Navy shipyard with 10,000 civilains ...

The Captains didn't much leave their offics during the workday, and the Navy doesn't salute uncovered - heck we wearing hardhats anyway - so I'd go weeks without saluting anybody.

Camouflage? Brown Khaki!

DURING MY MILITARY CAREER ( MID TO LATE 60’S) I FOUND ONLY TW0 THINGS THAT PROVIDED EFFECTIVE CAMOUFLAGE. TIGER STRIPES IN THE BUSH, AND A CLIPBOARD WHEN AT BASE. IT’S AMAZING HOW A CLIPBOARD MAKES EVEN THE SHARPEST GUYS THINK YOU’RE BUSY, KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING, AND HAVE AUTHORITY. THE MORE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE GOING ON AROUND YOU, THE LESS ANYONE NOTICES YOU. YA GOT A CLIPBOARD! I COULD TELL YOU TALES YOU JUST WOULDN’T BELIEVE, AND THEY’RE ALL TRUE! REALLY FUNNY STUFF!

KEEP THE FAITH.
