The only big problem I see with that is the problem with the intense sun/heat that is present in some of these sectional/district/regional/ and national campouts/activities.
I remember when I went to the last Camporama...boy was that a lot of sun. I came back home cooked! Not to mention this recent incident with the BSA with the heat exhaustion. So once again that would be the ONLY problem I can think of -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 5:14 PM To: Duane Wheeler; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RR] Uniform is Good I had originally thought that the Germans were not that "big" on the uniform issue as I was lead to believe that there were still some unresolved feelings about them left from WWII. Granted, the uniforms that they had back then were really sharp in appearance , the issues were not how they looked so much but who was wearing them. I was under the understanding that the Germans don't like to discuss uniforms that much because of unresolved feelings about uniforms in general. Now as for a field uniform, Does not the RR leadership tell us that the uniform is not to be worn on campouts? I never liked the idea much because the uniform can serve for quick identification purposes. I think that there should be an actual "field uniform for RR's and that they should be a requirement at campouts. Again identification purposes. A commander or person from another outpost can tell about a boy at a glance by seeing which ratings he has achieved and to which outpost he belongs to by looking at the numerals and District strip. Would that not help a younger boy at a District, Regional pow-wow or the Camporama? Personally, I'd call it convenient. A military uniform would have identification on it even if it is on BDU's . Though we are not set to be a paramilitary operation, it's not to say that we couldn't take a cue from them.
