Summer vs Cold weather flyers jacket and the Service Uniform
- Thread starter Rafterman
- Start date
Doing the khaki dance regularly?
I was med down for a couple of weeks, so I sat in the healing chair often.
And I'm a huge bitch when it comes to cold temps. The South has ruined me.
There isn't a person on this planet who is going to come up to you and say "Hey devildog. Isn't that your summer jacket? Does Papa ten twenty decimal thirty-four Golf say you can wear that? Take that trash off right now." That said, I'd probably wear the leather.
FTR, we're issued our winter weight jackets here. Why they can't issue them at NASP, I have no earthly idea.
Yes, Marines, wearing Nomex is authorized with your service uniforms. That said, it looks positively retarded. Put your leather jacket on, for God's sake! I've rarely had to put on Charlies on such short notice that I couldn't get my leather jacket, as well. Then again, in training command, I understand such events do happen.
BTW, I'm also proud to have never worn, much less bought, that gay ass tanker jacket. I do own, but have not worn since TBS, a useless freakin' trenchcoat!

You guys are standing the duts in khakis now? Bags only when I was there.....sad
I have no idea why we are issued the summer weight jacket. It is useless.
The reason new studs believe these things about boots/jackets/shoes is because there are douchebag 0-3s in the training command that actually propigate the idea.
I was being semi-facetious, but this is true. It only takes one douchenozzle instructor to have an effect on a whole bunch of studs.
Like the man said: just takes one douchenozzle and the kids get all scared.
I blame it on all the Air Force and P-3 guys in the TRACOM nowadays. (I keed!)
Still, the thing that really amazed me was how many kids were too scared to wear brown shoes or the leather jacket they'd been fucking issued, but were fearless when it came to blowing off a muster, gundecking paperwork or ignoring liberty limits.

Brown flight deck boots, sore subject, they were going out when I entered flt training, and we're coming in as I retired, I've tried my best to find a pair.
As for flight jackets, I still have my real leather, Vietnam era jacket, somehow it must have gotten wet because it seems to have shrunk about 4 sizes to small.
In the early 90's the leather flight jackets were made out out of fake leather, not goats skin leather.
As for wearing it easy, flight suit, POD working uniform of the day, any dress uniform in squadron spaces but not out of squadron spaces, it was authorized for wear with civilian clothes.
Green nomex I just checked the tag in mine, it says
Jacket, fliers, men's, summer CPU 36/P
Can't read you the label on my winter weight someone, busted out the window in my truck to steal it, but if I find the dirt bag after a ass stomping I post it. It was much thicker and much warmer than the summer weight.
For the green nomex, with the flight suit, on base working Dungeness for enlisted, and kakai's for officers and enlisted, never with and dress uniform or off base.
Hope it helps, if you see a dirt bag wearing my jacket, $100.00 reward, $200.00 if you accidentally stomp the snot out of the person wearing it, while trying to recover it.

Thanks for the welcome, I was researching real military flight jackets, since my leather jacket fits my grandson better than it does me, I wanted one that fits, and when I started looking around there are so many crap clones out there I didn't want to end up with a clone and end up on my closet floor, one of my questions brought me to this site and I liked what I was reading so I registered12 year thread resurrection... not quite a record, but not too shabby.Welcome to the site, Captain Doug!
