I hope this isn't seen as an imposition, but I would like to propose a Dress Code for Formal Occassions, on Long Distance Drops (eg Dragon Con)
Due to certain Baggage Restrictions, Class C Uniform would be an impossible luxury, so a version based upon Fully Badged and uncustomised BDU would seem to be a solution.
From The Top, A White M1 Helmet Liner, White Gloves, Webbing Belt, Sidearm in Holster and White Leggings. These Items can be bought in the US, as they were a part of the MP Uniform in WWII.
I hope that this could be a solution for Colour Parties, which would elevate them out of the ordinary.

A lot of us already have a class C uniform, based on what Gorman wears.

We normally wear it for formal occasions, DragonCon parade colour guard etc.

The white MP gear was most often only for wear with a Class A uniform anyway. In the field and most garrison-type situations, it was the same GI kit with just an armband, Pistol belt kit and MP insignia on the helmet.

IIRC, many of those at D*Con also wear full dress blues with all the white gubbins, especially the Colour detail.

No worries - worth a try anyway...

Class Cs are pretty much the shirt, pants, shoes and hat. They take up about as much room as a suit. Well, for me less, but damn those heels take up some room!

I am really glad we started adding the Class Cs as a uniform. If I ever get over to the UK for a drop, believe me, this is probably what I will be bringing!
