Nice blues. Where's the cape?

Babble on.

Those of you who did not attend the Royal Military College of Canada may find this obscure, but I don't play inside baseball that often, so you'll have to forgive me just this once.

But to all the Ex-Buds out there: it looks like the USAF might be adopting our Fours as their new dress uniform.

Oops. No braid on the sleeves. Correct that to: "a First-Year's Fours."

And as I said over at MilBlogs, I'm not sure the USAF wants its full-dress uniform to be a carbon-copy of a First-Year Canadian Officer Cadet's semi-dress uniform. But hey, if they do, at least it will give me something else to razz them about.

I'll even send a few of them chinstraps for their wedges. Nothing says dominant world airpower like a chinstrap.

Babble off.
