    Negative comments about your jackets from others

    Oh, and about jackets. My wife said I have a jacket for every five degree change in temperature. I think she's right. She doesn't mind them, except they take up room in the coat closet. I've only gotten a few compliments on them. Most people don't really notice, I think.

    Berets, Anyone?

    I'm like a lot of guys here. I'm former military so berets were only for the elite dudes. For me in the AF, that's the Combat Controllers, PJs and TACP guys.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
