NaNo griping
Nov. 7th, 2007 05:11 pmAll the research I've got to do and I'm most annoyed at the Army for planning to change the color of their uniforms. They're going over to Army Blue instead of what they have now, Army Green -- which y'all must have seen on TV if nowhere else -- and since Spaceforce is set slightly in the future, well, Beau Lorne wears Army Blue.
Damn, there goes that minor point of contention I was hoping for in the next scene, where Beau feels alienated from the rest of Cheyenne Mountain by the fact he's in Army green, not Air Force blue. Well, there goes that bit. *sigh*
(On the other hand, the fact that the 1st Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment is quartered at Hunter Army Airfield, which is an alternate landing site for NASA space shuttles? Too good not to use, and that's not even counting the fact it's two hours less travel time from there to Rock Hill, SC, than it would be from Fort Benning, where Beau was originally stationed. Amd I need that travel time shaved off for minor subplot reasons. *smiles sweetly* Let it never be said that good research nets you nothing.)
