Letters to the All Hands Editor.

Editor,

The January 2002 issue looks great as expected. I just have a question about the inside of the back cover (Page 49). Why is the Sailor in the picture wearing a black crew neck? Truthfully, it looks like the T-shirt was actually superimposed; the shading doesn't quite match the photo. Maybe he forgot to wear an undershirt at all so one was added, or maybe he really is wearing a black shirt. I'm just trying to satisfy my curiosity.

Editor,

I look forward each year to this issue. Thank you for your hard work.

I would like to point that in the "Warfare Pins and Badges" I think you have the CMC badges out of order. The Fleet Master Chief badge should follow the MCPON's then the Force Master Chief Badge. ... Again, thanks for your hard work. You put out a great product.

Editor,

Just read your February edition. Terrific articles, as usual. But, I wanted to point out a small group of people you left out under the heading of "Rainbow Wardrobe" (p. 28).

In the category of white jerseys, there are also the flight deck corpsmen.

Editor's Note: Good catch. We dropped the comma between "medical" and "air transfer officer." In addition, we should have listed air wing quality control personnel under "White Jerseys."
