Mr. Boyce 13 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'll tell you, I saw an Orkin man recently; guy wearing a white shirt with red epaulets. Immediately made me think of the scout uniform. I'd do away with those loops if I could. They just look odd. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Inside every Orkin Man is a potential Insect Study MB counselor! You missed an opportunity! Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh 3452 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 BSA has a court case pending as we speak suing Orkin for 1) copying the BSA trademark, 2) looking dorky, and 3) scaring the bugs with the red epaulets. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The first time I went thorugh Airport Security at the Orlando Airport I had a revelation. All the TSA employees were wearing white shirts with epaulets with blue tabs. I has flown before but had never made the connection, maybe it was the sea of white and blue tabs with a gold tab floating around. I asked about the gold tabebd individual and he was a superviosr, I said I thought he was a visitor from National and the guy roared. Seems he is an Asst Cubmaster and knew what I meant.

packsaddle 753 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I went through TSA security this week. They stopped me because I had a pack of Lance crackers in my shirt pocket. Made me go back through again and put that single pack of crackers through the x-ray machine. All by itself. Yep, very easily mistaken for National. Link to post Share on other sites
SctDad 10 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 How is the BSA Sueing Orkin. I did not know the the epaulets were strictly for the BSA Link to post Share on other sites
mdlscouting 10 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I think that was a joke, just saying that Orkin's uniforms look so similar to the BSA ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy_O 10 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The Orkin Man red epaulettes do look stupid. Its too much and really clutters the look of the uniform. Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh 3452 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 SctDad, just a crude attempt at humor. But one has to remember that if they take the epaulets off, then the tan shirt is going to look just like the USMC shirt and we can't have that. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
SctDad 10 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Sorry. That is what I get for posting when I am tired. Need one of two things. More sleep or more coffee. Link to post Share on other sites
