Rule of thumb I use when wearing my play clothes on the way to or from a field is take off any rank I wear and my nametape.(I dont wear my playclothes any other times) Usually toss a jacket over my clothes too and minimize the impression of looking like a soldier. Since wearing camo is in **BARFstyleGAG** by many people these days. these attempts to minimize my appearance as anything military are concious and in courtesy to those who have fought and died for our freedoms that many take for granted and to "blend" in.

pardon any above spelling/grammar errors...sleepy and contacts are fuzzy from being in too long.
