Khakis with belts with airplanes (like the fish ones and sailing ones) of the type you are currently flying on them. Top siders/Docksides - at least would get ride of those black sneakers so many people wear - ugh. And ball caps - Orange Bowl, Washington Redskins, FedEx NASCAR #11, etc - to show support for the marketing efforts!

The Captain sets the tone, both by his words and his deeds.
Hey, one is administrative, the other is operational!

I like the cargo pants that the Defense Course guys wear!
