• Article was created yesterday so it meets DYK requirements for nomination. It is of sufficient length and is free from close paraphrasing. QPQ has been done. I'm only approving the second hook as the first hook's significance may not be obvious to those unfamiliar with militaries, but also because the pyjamas angles is simply more intriguing. I'm assuming good faith for the sourcing here since I can't access the actual reference here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:39, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
