Forgot to mention it. Last week I got thanked for my service :^D I wear military clothes for work, and in general prefer everything military. They're rugged, use my favorite colors, and are built for winning. I avoid wearing complete uniforms to avoid confusion.
This particular day, I had Navy blueberry pants(which suck btw), an Army acu jacket(universal camo), an old woodland pattern Army duty cap, and cold/wet weather combat boots. I couldn't be more mismatched if I tried. I'm walking out of RoyalFarms(one of the worst convenience stores around. Amazing how they find uniformly bad employees regardless of location), and hear "Thank you for your service" behind me. It took a second to register, and I didn't turn around. Save embarassment all around, but the whole thing strikes me as silly. It's become a trite saying people reflexively use like "gesundheit" after a sneeze. Instead of that, they should consider a donation to a veteran's organization.
