What if an Army cook wore jump boots?

Remember the rules about flight jackets


USN-NNS5207.
The rules, outlined in NAVADMINs 164/97 and 193/97, define those limitations for those authorized to wear flight clothing.

The brown leather jacket may be worn by naval aviators, pilots, flight officers, undergraduate pilots, NFOs, flight surgeons and eligible enlisted aircrewmen (E7-9) with flight suits, service khaki, working khaki, winter blue, winter working blue and aviation working green. Eligible enlisted aircrew E6 and below may wear the brown leather flight jacket with flight suits, dungarees, winter working blue and winter blue.

For Senator Kerry, a "boat guy", to be wearing a Navy Flight Jacket would be the same arrogance and "stolen valor" as a Naval Aicrewman like myself to walk around with a SEAL's Budweiser on my jacket.

Aircrew, Pilots, NFOs and others EARNED that Leather Jacket. If ANY President wears a flight jacket, that's fine... He or she is CINC. Senators are NOT in charge of the Armed Forces.

I wonder where he got the jacket....maybe he yanked it out of gov't supply. But, oh yeah, its ok because he's a Senator.
