Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is the cap the only place Gorman wears rank on his utility uniform? I've checked the usual references and searched the boards... |

Pretty sure that's correct. On the Service C he has subdued rank on the shoulders. On the utilities I only see it on the hat. It's worn horizontally, which is different from the way most real-life services wear it. For my CO uniform I took some artistic license and put rank on the collar in addition to the hat. |

Yeah, I'm thinking about putting bars on my collar, too. I'm a nurse, myself, and it's always bugged me that Dietrich is supposed to be a nurse, but is only a corporal. I plan to use my cosplay to correct that oversight. |

If you look at my "M41C Project" post you can see my officer's uniform with the rank. |

You went full Captain! I thought about Captain, too, but that seemed ostentatious, seeing as I'd outrank 98% of the longstanding members. I settled on 1st LT. Is there a reason you chose the sew-on rather than the pin-on rank? |

My first drop was in 1997 so I figured if I was commissioned I'd be up there. I wanted a rank that would probably not be relegated to a staff job. I liked the appearance of sew-on vs. pin-on. On the hat, it's more comfortable because the pins don't dig into your forehead. |
