I remember in '86 that the list went as high as Uniform J, which was "fancy" dress, say for advertising purposes. Plain civvies (so as not to scare off the natives) also had a letter designation but I don't remember it.Originally Posted by pomfritz
88-89? I bet those are still being used.

Uniform K. Its called uniform K. "Upsat Civvies" (civilian clothes).
Worn at the HGB on the weekends so they don't look like they are working. Or something like that.
Free? Free? All the people I knew in the SO had to buy their uniforms. That's why they always looked bedraggled--one uniform to last the whole week, and if you were lucky you got Saturday night off so you could wash it.

DartSmohen,
Some parts of the uniforms that you describe remind me of the art on the old cover jacket for the book "Scientology: 8-8008". Does this "ring a bell" for you too?
Also:
Didn't Hubbard mention, from time-to-time, the subject of "dramatization" of the "Whole Track"? (So, here he is doing the same thing.)
Is Siler a brand, or did you mean silver?
The most popular shoes that I remember from that time were Adidas "Romes". They were comparatively cheap and reasonably long-lived.
Long after Scientology, I almost cried when I went into a sports store to be told they had been discontinued! 20 years later, I still haven't found an appropriate substitute.

Sorry, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot make this parse in English.

Yes, that is exactly what he was seeking to copy. By the way, it was Richard Gorman who created these book images, based on instruction from Hubbard.
Hubbard had decided that the best way of restimming the public was by the use of evocative book covers, hence the volcano on the front of dianetics.
For me, the most potent book cover was the tree on Science of Survival. Richard had designed this one himself and submitted it to Hubbard. (so I understand ). Hubbard decided to go with it rather than the planned "space opera" one.
The "dramatization of whole track" was built around Hubbard's delusionary state. After all, he had been a Sci Fi writer.
The previous image of a breaded wise old man, with the by-line "Scientology is here to rescue you" had a negative impact.

Sorry, a typo error, it was late.
Our boots were slip-on Chelsea boots that were painted silver. James Fuller oversaw this activity. Our belts were, essentially, fashion accessory types, wide, white leatherette with a large round silver buckle.
The boots, for me. lasted about 3 hours. I went to the backstairs and kicked the heel off. Also, the white berets made excellent one-way frisbees.
Merril Mayo measured the ladies for waist and skirt length. James decided that they were all being rather vain about their measurements so he assed at least one or two inches to the waist and length measurements before he ordered them. Unfortunately Merril was accurate in her measurements. the women were NOT amused to have to wear these loose fitting "bags".
