When I was in the Army, whenever we moved to an overseas assignment via
military or charter aircraft, we had to wear our best uniforms for the
flight. I never could understand that reasoning. If you wore your season's
best, it looked like crap when you got to where you were going and you were
very uncomfortable during the flight as well. When I went to Vietnam,
twice, I had to wear kakhi uniforms that were all wrinkled up when I arrived
in Saigon, and with all the heat and humidity, your uniform just drooped on
you. We couldn't wait to get into our new jungle uniforms and boots. Now
the military has changed whereas you can wear civilian clothing on overseas
flights on other than military aircraft. Now that I'm retired, I can take
advantage of $10 flights around the world, in civies of course, but at the
lowest priority level which means a lot of sleeping in terminals.
