I'm not in the US Army i am in the British army but the reason why they have second names on their uniform is that when you join the forces you are only called by your second name as there could be countless Danny's, David's, Josh's and so on but not many will have the same second name therefore easier to find a person you are looking for.

Bosma: and that is exactly true in the U.S. forces as well.

Can US Army officers use an umbrella?

Army Regulation 670-1 (Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Equipment), paragraph 27-27, reads: Females may carry and use an umbrella, only during inclement weather, when wearing the service (class A and B), dress, and mess uniforms. Umbrellas are not authorized in formations or when wearing field or utility uniforms. Male soldiers have never been authorized umbrellas, although Air Force personnel may carry them. Therefore...if you're in a joint-service assignment where service uniforms are the duty uniform, make friends with Air Force officers. - - - - - Yes, they may in certain circumstance, however I encountered only one who ever did, a Brigadier General in Germany. Typically, it does not rain in the Army, it rains on the Army (one of those rich traditions).

What font do the Chicago Cubs use for names and numbers on their uniforms?

I cannot tell you of the exact name of the font or style used for the lettering but I can send you to a site that pictures the different lettering, numbers, and logos used on Cubs uniforms throughout the years. To find the names of the font used do a search for online companies that sell baseball uniforms, check out the charts they use for ordering the lettering, and compare them with the Cubs lettering. See Related links below for the websites mentioned above. I have listed one site with uniform fonts you might have to find others to make a match.


Where to donate old army uniforms?

Kinda depends on what you wanted to donate them for. Goodwill probably won't have much use for them (if any). Perhaps items such as the field jacket and cold weather gear, they would, but most of it wouldn't be of much use to them. Better to just sell it to a military surplus store.


What are the French army colors?

That's like asking, how long is a rope? It depends which branch of service, what location, what rank, and what period you're talking about. In the short time between the start of WWII in September 1939 and France's surrender in June, they generally wore the same traditional colors of ther French Army as seen in WWI. In the field, they would have worn field gray/green/brown uniforms and webbing gear, like most contemporary armies. The most commonly worn army officers' service tunics were what we would call tan (think of the French Foreign Legion uniforms you've seen -- those were really just Army uniforms). However, they also wore everything from pure black to pure white versions, depending on their posting and the season of the year. Army officers' fancy parade dress uniforms would have been of the classic "French blue" color. The traditional French "kepi" style of cap would also be worn by all ranks. However...all of the above applies to the time before their surrender in June 1940 (and afterward only among the so-called "Vichi" French soldiers, who collaborated with the Germans). The non-Vichi "Free French" combatants of WWII were either partisans who worked underground doing espionage and sabotage wearing non-descript street clothes, or exiled French soldiers who found their way to Allied territory (mostly England) and later returned with the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Most all of these soldiers wore British-issue uniforms with French unit and rank insignia, so to get an idea of their uniforms all you have to do is look at the British soldiers' uniforms, and change the patches and unit insignia from British to French. That's the short answer to your question, though, as I said, there is no such thing as a complete answer to it. Eric L'Artista
