        <![CDATA[Yes, there were female cadets in the time frame in question.&nbsp;&nbsp; And we were held to uniform standards, too.&nbsp;&nbsp; (In fact, I still have my 'jackie o' pillbox hat around here somewhere).&nbsp;&nbsp; But it seemed that MOST&nbsp;of the females enrolled in ROTC back in the day were there because they want to be Army WIVES, not Army officers. <br />

Well, aside from the kid on the right missing his brass and a unit crest (left shoulder), both uniformed kidlets have their rank tabs reversed. <br />

And young lady, just *where* is your tie?!?<br />

I wouldn;t know a good uniform if it caught on fire.&nbsp; I only really notice Mr Boofhead on the right (D??s) has varies bitties missing that Mr Combover has present.&nbsp; However this could be ROTC ranking.&nbsp; Also the nametag is on their right which is unusual (at least in Aussie civil terms); maybe the image is reversed.<br />

Oh and Ms Yawn's two fillings might not be regulation standard.&nbsp; I sure as hell hope her top isn't.<br />]]>

        Glaring uniform deficiencies?  They&apos;re ROTC&apos;s.  We were likely bloody glad to have them on board in the &apos;70&apos;s.  We could fix em later.
