We used to have monthly 'Pay Day' formations in the 7th SFGA out on Alamo Field in either Class A (greens) or B (khakis/TWs) uniform.

One time our Group Cdr (COL Love) said he was tired of the senior NCOs not wearing all their authorized A&Ds (most just wore a CIB/CMB and parachute badge), and ordered them to wear ALL their awards for the next monthly formation.

The following month, as ordered, many of them then showed up with a half-dozen or so foreign wings and badges...and looked like some DPRK GO. The guys over in Center, IMA, and the 5th SFGA thought it was hilarious and the jokes came fast and furious.

That ended that, and things quickly returned to the way they had been.
