*** YOUR MESSAGE ***

Shirts (the series, not the movie):

	Greenish-gold = Command (worn by Capt., helm, navigation, others)
	Blue          = Science (Sci. Officer, Medical, random scientists)
	Red           = Engineering (Chief Engineer, Communications,
				*Security*, others)

What you're noticing is that they always take one or two security men along to
get killed so that they don't have to waste any of the main characters.  The
life of a "red-shirt" is a running joke among some friends of mine who watch
Star Trek.
