FW: lowercase Navy

[William Fenn]

Interesting,

The sailors shown in his news story sure looked like they were in the ARMY.
Boy would I like to find some of the gear shown in the story at my local
surplus store ... if it still existed.  Years ago I had a Model 19 RTTY and
wish I still did.

NBC found it ironic that the message authorizing mixed case went out in all
caps.
