Didn't know about the stripes - sounds like a regulation from the same jokers that came up w/ requiring moto-vests on base.

Oh yea that was cute when it came out... We'd all carry them in our pockets/trunks and literally put them on in line to get on base.

It's surprising what you can sleep through if you're tired enough and if you're used to the noise... Besides, the way the sound carried, it was sometimes hard to tell where anything was.

shoulda been on the hummer. Understand where you are coming from though. Dont know if you've ever been to brookhaven range at hood but the boresight line is literally right next to the first bp. Used to be able to sleep plenty fine in my hole waiting for our turn for tt7

yeah, it's ghey.
Must be worn at ALL TIMES in PT's. Winters, diagonal from left shoulder to right, Summers around waist.
In ACU's, from dawn till dusk, and any time of limited visibility, also from left shoulder to right.
What's really ghey is that 98% of where we walk there is no vehicle traffic allowed!

Hey derf, how you like the new ECWS stuff?

I haven't found it cold enough for the marshmallow jacket yet, but I much prefer the old black fleece over the new green ones.
