Yay we made teh Scoop!
Happy Valentines day everyone!
Big thanks to LJ for that piece and to EnVee for the suggestion...
The Heck-tic Life/Heroic Life comic was friggin' hilarious! Thanks!
I liked the special on military-themed costumes- VERY well done.
A while ago, I did some thinking about that myself, including how to incorporate special things like capes and auras into military gear.
Most capes would be off-limits, but some of the translucent ones, or the feather-pattern cape could be coloured to look like the shaggy camoflauge gear worn by snipers. Or the scarf cape might compliment a dress uniform.
As for the auras, pair the right eye aura with the right goggles or visor, and you've got some high-tech tactical gear.

Good point!
Oh, and thanks. Being a civilian who works for the military I wanted to make sure I did the article with a degree of accuracy and respect, while staying in character. Working at HQ I see Army, Navy and Air Force personnel in and out of uniform everyday, so that made it pretty easy.
