Is this a joke? Even I find this hard to believe. Was this something he did to degrade these people like he did to some of the Gold crew he was mad at making them wear pink polka dots and things? What did this get-up look like?
They didn't actually switch anyone's fannies, but they did have to carry a riding crop. It was part of the SO-HCO uniform for a while.
The uniform itself, IIRC, was slightly different. I think it had a kind of light blue shirt or something. But it most definitely had a riding crop
I remember this because there was this huge guy my age from a farm in Wisconsin who had been in the SO for a couple of years. He was a great guy. And one day I see him walking down what is now called LRH Way carrying this faggy riding crop, and I pointed at it and laughed.
He kind of rolled his eyes. I asked him about it and he told me that it was part of the new uniforms for HCO in PAC.
Being a good team member, I didn't want to go all J&D on him, so I let it drop.
