Well, she needed to stop by Meijer on the way home, it was cold as crap, so I kept on the double breasted sub commander jacket for the shopping spree (no hat, I'm not that much of a tool). I'd strolled around in my 9E uniform a few times before on the way home, so I figured no big deal, nobody cares nor ever mentioned it. I'm going home from work and that's my suit.

I kid you not, some retired Navy guy stood to attention and saluted me, then started telling me about his ship and asking me about my command.

Never again....
