Thanks for sharing this, Casey. That sense of longing…pent up behind not daring to speak, feels very real to me.

BTW, the US Air Force started using a blue camo pattern for their BDUs a few years ago. They aren’t “camouflage” in the sense of hiding against a suitably-colored background (the way shades of tan blend into desert, or shades of green blend into rainforest.) The idea is just that Air Force uniforms should be analogous to Army. I’ve seen them in DC, getting on the subway at Pentagon station.

BTW I modelled that on one I found on the first page of craigslist M.C. after you posted the challenge. Now to come up with something new – ah, that is the rub isnt it.

I can almost feel the flutter of hope in her stomach as he sang and felt his presence next to her.

A great read I look forward to more. This is going to be great fun!

Tom, Thanks for showing us how they do it in LA. You got me on the blue camouflage. If I had to guess, I’d say “Old Navy” theatre of operations, lol.

Y’all who expected more bawdiness, please note that the wicked schoolboys do not post missed connections… although now that I think of it…

BTW – Blue camo? which theatre of operations would that be for? or did you mean something else other than camouflage, i.e. BDU’s?

Nice, very understated. I think I was expecting something a little more bawdy as well, but this is nice.

Well constructed tale. It was tamer than I was expecting, but the ending hints at more to come that will be less than tame. Good job!
