Rich,

I'd thought maybe diced hose, as suggested would really kick the outfit up a couple of notched too, but to the untrained eye (which you will probably encounter at the dinner) they might look uncoordinated. The dinner will be a bit formal right? for that I'd go with black hose, and matching tartan flashes if you've got 'em. The idea of matching your flashes color with your MOS is a good idea too, and would probably be noticed by the observant in attendance.

Will your lovely counter-part be in attendence too? Perhaps she could wear either a CG tartan plaid, or the Army tartan if you two wish to match. Just a suggestion.

Oh yeah! Thanks for the avatar.
