Last year my Halloween costume was a Star Trek the Original Series (TOS, yes I use the short codes to denote the different versions) Gold Command shirt. It was all I could get at short short notice. I would have preferred the Next Generation Red command shirt. They did not have it in stock.
This year I again wanted to get a next generation style shirt. The big question was what color to get? Do I get Red for command? Or Gold for Security? If I used my real world job to sort me I am in Security so Gold. Yet I am in and have been in leadership positions for a while so Red for command? I was torn at what to do. Availability or lack of the red command. Shirts dictated that I purchased one of the gold security shirts. That means I can be either an original series commander or next generation security.
This year I will go with the Next Generation Security Gold. After that I am not sure what I will do. Do I go get a Red command shirt or keep the Gold Security? Or go Gold command from the original series.
Questions like that and Bounty vs Kit Kat are going through my mind at the moment.
If you are reading this and don’t know Star Trek very well, you might’ve noticed that I mentioned the original series, gold command and next generation red command colors. In the original series, it was gold for command, red for security and engineering, and blue for medical. In the next generation and all other series, after that they change the colours where red was command and gold was security and engineering.
