Out of Uniform.

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | June 9, 2011

No. 629

Lindsay Starr  has stirred up the radio talk shows by complaining to KDKA TV about how the North Allegheny High School administration won’t let her accept her diploma in her Marine Corps dress blues.  She finished school early and attended boot camp at Parris Island.  Now she wants to express her pride and patriotism by walking across the graduation stage in uniform.

It appears that PVT Starr still has a few things to learn from her military training.  Orders have been issued down the chain of command by the duly constituted authority that the uniform of the day is the academic cap and gown.  If PVT Starr has a problem with that, she should take it to the chaplain.
