While this story line is extended a bit (There has been much longer arcs for inferior reasons), It still is superior to suffering through Slim, Gertie or Rufus.

My response was:
Dypak, you are making fun of the “OFFICIAL US Army Insignia” that is on the Specialist 4 E-4 arm patch?
If you wore an Army Service Cap with your dress uniform, you wore the “squawking chicken,” too.

Joe, I wore that uniform for nearly 25 years. And my uniform still fits. If you’ve never heard the Specialist rank called a squawking chicken you probably weren’t one in the last three or four decades. Usually it refers to some Spc. who never knows when to keep his mouth shut.
The Navy wears the same Eagle on their enlisted ranks. I’ve even heard them refer to it as a squawking chicken. Or sometimes even a buzzard.

I didn’t know they could do that. They should’ve thought of that first.

You wanted the GA family you got it. Maybe not the type of story line you wanted.

Does anyone see Skeezix going to get a new uniform and accidentally re-enlisting?

Nah. He’s what, 127 years old?

They’ll find out he wasn’t properly discharged, so has been AWOL for the past 60+ years.

Now that would be a story!

Skeezix, dude, just get a nice dark suit. Like the one you wear to church. No one expects you to show up in uniform.
BTW Joe, please note, Skeezix said your costume solution is out of the question. Give it up.
