Everything military is very much about standards and professionalism. At some point, everyone needs a break, whether it be a small poster in your office, a souvenir from your last vacay, a favorite pair of shoes, or your favorite radio station on Pandora radio. What transforms you into YOU?

SrA Edward Vong - ...are you sure you didn't just forget to cut the pockets open..?

SrA Edward Vong - don't like Pooh Bear. Or his friends. Do not. Will never. I prefer the movies that are based off the old fairy tales with subtle hints to the darker nature of the original stories.

Definitely did check the pockets. They indeed are not functional. You can always get a signet of a symbol you like. For example, mine is the Kingsmen ring.

Of course you own a Kingsmen ring. I wouldn't have expected anything less dapper or badass.

As you age, it gets to be less of a thing you think about. You're not going to change. When I was a young MIL, I guess my double gradient sunglasses which are overkill for CONUS were on my face because they looked different from anything else. This was before Oakley and others got in the picture. In middle O'Dom and throughout my Civil Service life, I eschewed the "I love me" wall. Rather I had one award. It was the "Dummy Award" for a conspicuous humorous act. That was it along with a generic Seabee plaque. Never went for the name thing on the desk. The funny thing is, even at my age, my referee gear gets individualized because like any other tool, we have our favorites. So I have taped whistles which are easier on the teeth, a certain wristband lanyard, a certain wallet, a certain watch. All in all, it's pretty nondescript but people notice I'm not a newbie referee. When you're deployed, the creativity comes out. We had "Little John" who wore a tophat while operating a grader. A demure photo Warrant you'd easily overlook until he became "Ralph the Gorilla". To this day a bunch of people won't believe it was Dale because Dale would never be like that. I do remember the little things from those I've lost. The clown on a unicycle entertaining the kids that Dave did and then he was gone in an instant when the Columbia burned up on reentry. So a lot of these things just point to our individual humanity.

You are telling me that you never took advantage of the blank canvas that is your eye patch? That is almost criminal!
