Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

Thus aviators became \ufffdBrown Shoes' and everybody else in the Navy a lowly \ufffdBlack Shoe.' It quickly was recognized the khaki uniform was best for summer, and inappropriate for winter wear. Thus the \ufffdAviation Greens' came into existence. The color was defined as Marine Corps Forest Green and the design the same as the Navy blue uniform.

[what submariners call 'Target sailors' ;-) ] Brown Shoe sailors are aviators. Marines provide 'adult supervision' on carriers and are the primary weapon carried by 'gator freighters'.
