HQs always had lots of candy stripers - drivers, staffers, intell types, photogs, clerks, etc.

One exception was in Thailand - all wore full flashes - I thought the entire unit was S qualified - then we closed out, returned to Bragg, and most reassigned to either the 5th, 7th, or USAJFKCENMA - couldn't believe it when all those guys hanging around Lop Buri were now wearing a candy stripe and were not S qualified after all.
