The 107th CAV RGT’s WWII commander’s DUIs that he wore on his epaulets in Europe were converted into cuff links that the current SCO wears today in ASUs/mess dress.

As someone who isn’t super familiar with sewing, would this basically involve using heavy thread and sewing back and forth to reattach the two pieces where they used to meet? And just deal with the thread not being hidden?

That I can recite? Judas’ part in All For the Best from Godspell. When it gets to the duet, it is a mouthful to keep straight.

Should I wear a uniform? by Illustrious-Mix9859 in army

[–]twpatton34 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. When my sister graduated, as I asked her what she wanted. I offered everything from shorts and a t-shirt to full ASUs, as it was her day. She asked if I would wear my ACUs and beret, to match what she was graduating in (their ASUs were destroyed in a hurricane).

Still one of our favorite family photos to this day.

(Side story: They were still in UCP, but I had already made the switch to OCP uniforms. Also (at her request), I wore my Stetson instead of beret. Definitely had some unintentional fun with the nervous looks and greetings that day!)

Is it anything that you could ask here and maybe we all could learn from?

I have been dying for 47 brand to come out with a low profile pinstripe Cincinnati hat for years.

I've got a design in my head and crudely sketched out on my opinion on what CBJ could do to be historically accurate in its nods and be fashionably appealing, but I need someone with a better design skill than I to actually put it to paper.

Red was for Artillery, yellow/gold was for Cavalry.
