Seriously off-topic here, but anybody know of a surplus source for sweaters like the green one, or modern equivalents? The color-coded and stenciled carrier wear is pretty d&%m cool imho. And I would imagine it is where they got the idea for the color-coded crew uniforms in the original Star Trek as well...

I lost my jerseys plus my float coat (stole that :shock:

) in our fire but still have my cranial (stole that to :shock:

).

For those intersted in jerseys here's a breakdown.
Redshirts get up too early.
Grapes stink like JP5, so do their spaces and racks.
Greenies are insane to get that close to intakes.
Blueberries, aka "houdinis".
Yellowshirts wear yellow because they're always pissed off (usually about not being able to find any blueshirts).
Brownshirts, never around when you need to move a bird.
White, aka "flight deck pigeons" since all they do is wander around and sh*t on people.

I liberated my float coat and cranial also. The float coat would have been thrown out because it was so nasty. I built a replacement with the spare parts I collected to turn in for both, the left overs went to my friends I left behind.
