i would NEVER have guessed from your posts that you're a chief. just goes to show that you never know who you're talking to on these boards. most chiefs i've known had a slightly stiffer collar. lookin' good, chief.

Looking squared away! Be carefull you know how easy it is to be accused of dependancy these days. I hope that's a fine bourbon or a single malt. Although at most functions I have to settle with blended...you do what you have to do....

Sent a post for you to check out.

Thanks for the compliments all. Actually I was carrying the other drink for my Dad. I think they were bourbon and coke. It was a open bar at the NCO Club.

Looks like no one noticed the badge under the medals. 😉

I am a laid back Chief. But cross me or screw up and your ace is grass! LOL!

Great pic.

I have a stupid question to ask...How come some guys wear their medals on their dress uniforms, and others just wear the ribbons?

No hidden agenda...just noticed it several different times, and was wondering.

Hog-look right under the medals. It is kind of dark and shinny!

Hup- the uniform I am wearing is the Mess Dress. You wear the miniture medals with it. By the way the mini medals cost me 72 bucks! More than my pants did. LOL! It is the Tux of the military uniform. The dress blues you wear the ribbons.

R-6 still couldn't make it out.. sorry...

Hup, some events in the military do not call for full dress... this event and the event Bullwyf were attending look to be full dress?? where the medals are prefered.. and possibly with Marines Manditory?? where Air Force is Optional...

believe it or not.. I've got my full complement of dress blues... and it was not a requirement to wear these for the passed 8 yrs of my service with the Guard Base I was stationed... they hang in my closet and the last time I wore them was to an event 5 yrs ago... 1999...

the old days of Rank Inspections are something that should not be put behind in the services....

Trust me Hog...My guys fall out in spitshined boots, BDU starched standing tall! If they slip they get the crap detail for the day!

The medals use to be all, some, or none. Now it is ALL!

Chief,

I was at Pete in 1970... 47 Comm Gp -- lived in a barracks there and worked at NCMC (the Mountain)... we called Pete "Jackrabbit Flats" back then... Circle Drive was at the edge of town. Nice to have a pic to go with the posts.
