<p>The "controversy" with being the first class: Mustard yellow was the first class, RTB's were the first full class with a 4th class system.</p>
<p>hear hear!!!!!!</p>
<p>...so how are these colors chosen for each class??? By an administraive board or what???</p>
<p>They never change. They simply rotate each year. So the last Red class was four years ago and the one before that was 8 years ago.</p>
<p>yeah and the whole Luke story is pretty cool too, the thing about taking down all those derigibles and then pulling out the pistols when the germans came to get him. Awsome story.<br>
And its nice to know the whole story about the "red bastards" stuff. when I first heard that on a cadet tour last friday, I didn't really understand, but thats pretty cool too.</p>
<p>another cool thing about the colors is it not only "bonds" your class, but it gives you a sort of bond with every other class that has come through who had the same color.</p>
