Looking slick ... military scouts ... - ponders - ... triggering melancholy in Ye Aulde Fart ... excuse me ...

Thinking back to when I was shooting paper arrows with blowguns while playing wargames in the swampy shrublands in my home county with my friends (space invaders had just been released and we weren't aware of the phenomenon called 'computer' yet), and some years later we were using tire tube and wood slingshots to launch snowberries at each other in the light forests some leagues from home ... until someone ended up in hospital for getting a direct hit in the eye ... which happened to be me (some of my friends were saving money for a Commodore 64 ... so they could play 'Donkey Kong' or 'Pole Position' ..whoaaah!), to the time when I was conscripted (yes, we had that once) and forced to play real wargames with very noisy ammo and machine guns in our dense Netherswamp central woodlands, with me being either sergeant or machine gunner, for-real ramboing through the undergrowth ... ''(I actually had a PC that could run Windows 3.1 man ... and I played Sid Meier's RailRoad Tycoon and Wolfenstein 3D on it! O.O)'' ... eh ...

... so, scouting outfits should be light, tight and loose enough to allow for fast movement across any terrain in both upright, crawling and anything in-between positions. This would typically rule out use of long capes or coats with loose ends hanging on ones tailbone, let alone princess styled long haircuts. Capice?
