Uniforms

Well, we ended up leaving NC about 7pm on Friday, drove all night and ended up in Chicago about 830am. After waiting for a base pass, we got to the uniform shop right when they opened. I thought it would take 30 minutes tops to get what I needed and leave for Rockford, but it ended up taking almost 2 hours to find everything I needed. Trying to find pants ended up being quite demanding...I didn't know pants came in so many choices! Short, long, regular, atheltic or classic fit, and three different manufacturers made narrowing down my choices very irritating, especially when I hadn't slept. Anyway, got everything I needed, and after they are done tailoring everything it will all be shipped FEDEX to my house.
We got to Rockford about 130pm and were greeted with a few inches of snow and bitter cold! Quite the contrast from NC (68 degrees when we left). Actually I couldn't start the car Sunday morning...I think one of the dome lights was left on, and the little motor just wouldn't turn over. I think that the temperature of 5 below (I'm sure the wind chill was 20 below) also had something to do with it!
Anyway, I donned my new cover for the fans and Becki snapped this pic. No, the red shirt is not part of the uniform nor is the scruffy face, but I'm still proud to show off my new threads! Just 4 more months and I'll be official!
