Now for a thread hijack. Your story reminded me of when I was at my first assignment at Tinker AFB, one of our Air Force first lieutenants was promoted to captain. The next day he drove to work from off-base and realized he had captain's bars on his shoulders, but his flight cap still had a first lieutenant bar on it. He had scrounge around in the ash tray and under the seat to come up with a spare first lieutenant bar to put next to the one already on his hat, then scurry to the building before anyone got a close look.At lunch time straight to clothing sales.
i once walked around nearly the whole day with my collar devices not on the uniform i was wearing, ribbons and name tag were in place, but i simply forgot to put the collar devices on my uniform the previous evening at home.
everyone knew my rank from my name tag and i guess the wrath of asking about their missing in action prevented inquiries .
a brave young LDO Lt stopped me and asked if i was ok???? he pointed to my slick collars ..it was a riot. I had been all up and down the hall at other commands, as well as my own most of the morning and even up on base to the PX...
no body ever said a word.
