While working at an "Operational HQ", which was just another nondescript suburban office block we all had to wear CADPAT ( Canadian Disruptive Camouflage Pattern) that is the pixelated many pocketed uniform worn by the professional pedestrians Army when they were out camping fighting in the woods. As a Naval Officer I found the idea of having to wear the relish suit rather offensive.

One day a memo made the rounds asking for input to the "uniform advisory committee". I recommended that a new uniform be commissioned. It would be called "OFFICEPAT" and would be decorated with segments of office furnishings including a stapler, desk corner , fragment of a safety poster, edge of a water cooler etc etc. This would allow staffers to hide in plain site when the big boss was on the rampage. Strangely my idea was not adopted and I was given a stern lecture about not wasting the important committee's time with frivolous suggestions.......
