The question of uniforms
Nov. 22nd, 2009 09:40 pmJust so I can say it, last night at the ball was the first time I wore all the 'stuff' that goes on my dress uniform. I typically just wear the plain jacket, with the Commodore piping on the sleeve.
As much as it pains me to use a Yankee as a role model, I offer the following quote about Ulysses S. Grant:
"Following his promotion at Chattanooga, Grant routinely wore "the uniform of a private with the straps of a lieutenant-general. In his dress, as in his dealings with subordinates, Grant was unpretentious."
So there you go, and now you know.
(besides, that stuff is sniper bait :P)
