Hi Michael! I remember when I was in the service I got to go anywhere I wanted to, you just had to ask the right officer, nicely. If I lacked any uniform item I had no problem getting it issued. One time I was issued an M1 Garand by the Army, and I was in the Air Force. No problemo, son, just sign here in triplicate, bring it back when the presentation is over. The officers and men I met in the service were great guys, and I am glad I had the opportunity to meet them. I wish I had that Garand now!
