RH.
I don't show off that I am a pilot, I don't walk into grocery stores, gas stations, dry cleaners or coffee shops in the flightsuit.
I even take it off before I walk the dog when I come home, and often have to clean the floors as a result. (she is a puppy and not quite housetrained yet).
I do however wear it to and from work. If I don't I get trouble getting through security...the airport pass apparently has no meaning, but my police patch seems to carry some weight.
When asked what I do down here I say I work for the police. I leave out the helicopter part unless they dig more.
What I am tired of on the other hand is the attitude that I CAN'T tell anyone what I do, cause then I am nursing my ego, or I am arrogant, or desperate. So I sit there next to the doctor wearing the "Trust me I am a doctor" T-shirt and the yacht captain with his yacht t-shirt...the police officers with the St. Maarten Police t-shirts.
Why do we have to feel like stroking our egos if we wear a t-shirt with a helicopter on it....or indeed wear helicopter cuff links?
Thats all I am asking...
