Then to top it off, they had eppaulettes!

Bane of my existence, indeed.<br /><br />I'll second the cold weather gear, from an Army standpoint. The stuff was top notch (when we were allowed to wear it). I believe our rain gear went by the name of "Shut up and march."<br /><br />Not gloating over the Wings victory yet? Decent game, all around, if a little heavy on the penalties. By and large good calls, though. Wings could have hurt themselves there, but the PK was ridiculously solid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673842520123958712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-79385586491110744612011-04-14T11:22:08.464-06:002011-04-14T11:22:08.464-06:00The Mr. Rogers look, well, ummm...
