Back in 69, the candy-stripes were de rigor for non-qualified SF.
At that time, I'm pretty sure you were either qualified or in training.
There were no "support" slots.

Here are some pics from the Nantahala Forest FTX, Fall 1969.

Well aged, but if you squint, you can see myself and others with candy-stripes.
