Just Who Can Wear a Uniform?

Maggie, Good show! And this is from a Vietnam-era veteran.

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for contributing to the discussion-- it was very enlightening to read both viewpoints concerning the wearing of a serviceman's uniform.

I've been away from the Lounge for about two months now-- I found myself in a bit of a rut, but I'm back

Anyway, here are a couple of the photos from the shoot-- I'll be uploading more as they are edited and sent to me.

Also, I just found out yesterday that during his service as a barber in the navy, my great grandfather cut Tyrone Power's hair!

Just as a refresher, this is what we were going for:

And this is what we got:

I've gotten an earful of grief in another thread about wearing uniforms, rank, and so on, as I've taken a very conservative approach.

YOU can wear anything you like!

Talk about a double standard. Would you like a danish with that??

 

[MisterCairo]

Yes. Cherry, of course!

Between Maggie and the rest of the women here, FL ought to crank out some calendars (like this -> http://www.pinupsforvets.com/ )

I gave my uniforms away long ago. I don't care who does what with them.

Cute pics, BTW.

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I'm glad to know I'm making the servicemen and women proud rather than appalling them

There's actually a good deal more of these photos, so I think I'm going to pick two or three and have them framed together as an aniversary gift to my grandparents. I hope they'll like them as much as you all seemed to!

I think the photos are great and see no disrespect at all in them.

I myself used to wear my father's Navy whites from WWII, or at least the shirt, when I was in high school (and could still fit in it). I also wore his Pea Coat for years untill I outgrew it - as he was still in his teens when he served in the South Pacific in 1944-45, so he was pretty small. I'm still fond of wearing pea coats to this day.

I wore the shirt with jeans, and had long hair at the time. Some people may have looked at that as disrespectful, but I wore it with great pride.
