Master, I truly was not sure. I thought it was black or blue but I could not remember. If you find that you'll need them, I'm glad you'll have the right color!
SKS, your hall isn't determined until after you get there. I generally look up the information on the Coast Guard site Thursday or Friday the week you actually ship. You can have your friends check this site http://www.uscg.mil/hq/capemay/recruit/FAQs.asp They'll be able to get your address from there. It is not known prior to shipping.
