Amen! I, too plan on seeing this a second time. A breath of fresh air at the cinema. Something that's been lacking for a long time.

Matt, The enlisted Class A uniform jacket did not have a belt. Also, the wool used for the construction of the enlisted Class A uniforms was quite different than that used for officers. It was made of a more course type wool, as the officer's uniform was made from what was called elastique...

Started off with a Bloody Mary followed by two Long Island Iced Teas, a Blue Hawaiian and finally some Coco Vin.

For a good, easy read along the same lines of this topic, pick up the book London Calling by Edward Bloor. Here's a link to the book on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/London-Calling-Edward-Bloor/dp/B0057D9PGA/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312178447&sr=1-1
