Stencils have been discussed a lot on here, particularly the USN and ARMY stencils. I’m starting to understand why they get so much hate. When I entered into this hobby, I had the mindset of oh, military stencils are just a fun Easter Egg, nobody’s going to actually notice or care. Nonetheless, I avoided getting any USAAF patches on my A-2 and B-3, or any USN stencils on my Deck Jacket and Chambray shirt. Just in case.
The other day I was out with my friend, sometimes when they get done with work they come over and we go out flying by the airfield or sailing as a hobby. I sometimes wear my Blue Angels baseball cap which I got at one of their air shows or my Philippine Seas baseball cap which was the boat my grandpa served on. I figured since it’s just me and my friend nobody will care.
Still coming into my apartment the other day, I’m in the elevator and some old guy asks me because I’m in the Navy cause of the Blue Angels hat. The embarrassment I had when I said no made me want to puke. My gut says it’s time to retire the hats and switch to plain baseball caps.
No one asks you if you play for Yankees if you wear one of their hats, but you wear a blue angels hat and apparently people think you’re a fighter pilot or something.
I’m 100% going to get rid of these hats. Sorry guys I didn’t know. Thank god I didn’t get any junk tattooed on my jackets.
