Not Work Safe .

When I first got commissioned I was able to wear a lot of my Dad's old uniforms, to include his dress greens. I got hemmed up by an NCO in OBC because the material and the cut of the greens was no longer in regs (he was right--but I couldn't tell the difference). I used those same greens at my unit (101st) with no one ever saying anything about them. Just that one eagle-eyed NCO at OBC...

"Sir, your uniform is more fucked up than a football bat...." said to me by a Chief at MY officers school, when I wore pants of one fabric, and a shirt of another, in which each color was slightly different. It looked like something out of WW2. He called me Admiral Nimitz after that. But my uniforms were squared away!

It was something like one item was poly/wool and the other was all cotton. I was much more discernable on eBay after that.
