Oslo -1970

To make us fit in better with the turmoil of the late 60's/early 70's, especially in Europe, we were issued a CGA blazer outfit as an alternative to going on liberty in uniform.  You can still see the seal on the left breast pocket.  I don't remember if this one survived the cadet cruise on the old USCGC Campbell, but I don't remember ever wearing it again after this summer.  The funny thing was seeing one of my more slender classmates still fitting into it some 40 years later.  This is one of the few pictures of me with my hair combed, and being a little long for the Academy.  I am sure it was gone back to normal whitewalls shortly.
