They screamed at us to do it in basic training when we wore dress uniforms. Haven't heard it since. Somebody was probably stealing terrible ideas from other services. I had a SNCO try to bitch me out because he thought the hood on the big green fuzzy parka was just for show.

Might have been a training command thing, now that I think about it, for the utilities anyway. I know for sure we stashed stuff in our socks in summer whites and dress whites though, and not just in school.

See boonie caps, ear flaps in hats. Usually its because some senior NCO doesn't like it, despite regulation allowing for it.

Anything that's going to make it actually look like you have something in your pocket, like a wallet or a pack of cigarettes, goes in the sock. Working or underway, you have coveralls pockets full of poo poo and a Batman belt full of TLD, flashlight, diggit tool, nobody cares.

The Navy has its share of people too invested in uniform regs. There was an rear end in a top hat who gave me a uniform inspection everyday. And it wasn't because I came to work like a bag of rear end it was just his power trip and ocd thing, he spent almost the entire day at work shining his boots, again everyday. I got fed up with it and started playing to the regs too. Air Traffic Controllers are by regulation allowed to wear aviator style sunglasses at all times except for in formation, including indoors. So I bought the cheapest ugly pair I could. I also stole his seat and refused to move whenever he left the room because there's another reg for saving seats called 'swiping' where your seat is saved only if you brush your hand along the chair and say swipe. Eventually he just left me alone.

I hope he just meant "open position" as in what was available to ship out to boot soon. Air Force really has an image problem. They need to slay more and bigger dragons in their ads.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:wanna read that reg evil_bunnY posted:The hero we need I went looking for it last night, but I haven't been in the Navy in a few years and I don't have the benefit of having the pub library down the hall anymore. I know the sunglasses thing is covered in the 80T-114 and I think the swiping thing is another atc or amphib atc pub. The 114 also states that ACs work hours are limited to 8 hour shifts not to exceed 10 which actually became an issue on our deployment because they want us to match the 12 hour OS work shifts. When someone first showed me the swipe reg I laughed because it meant at some point someone got butthurt enough about losing their seat all the time that they submitted something official about it. The idiot was me (as per the usual) eventually because if any of you recall Navy medical put something out about the amount of caffeinated coffee you could drink if you had a flight status and at the time I had a huge energy drinking habit that was 5 or 6 times the dose limit and they became killjoys.

I was playing frisbee this morning as part of our section PT, and we were playing tucked/un-tucked teams. Some wierdo from the infantry comes over and tells me to tuck in my shirt, Army doesn't modify the uniform soldier. I was kinda stunned that anyone gave a gently caress and almost just complied, but then my 1SG came from the other side of the field, wondering why our dudes are getting hassled. Watched two SNCOS go ~nuh-uh~ at each other for an UNCOMFORTABLE amount of time before nothing happened. The look of pure disbelief on the Air Force and Navy faces was priceless, especially when top pretty much out of spite ordered everyone to keep their shirts untucked.

The army and marines....well, stories like that pocket flap thing are like EVERY DAY poo poo, just another rear end in a top hat mad about REGS. I was USAF. There's assholes in all services. It wasn't an every day thing for me but that's because I worked in a dark closet and didn't have a habit of wandering around base in uniform otherwise. Plenty of other people got daily stuff about it though. Like buns not being too tight or having a solitary hair touching your ear or whatever gay poo poo.

The Air Force is petty and stupid. AETC takes that to the next level. When I got to Kadena in 2008, they sent all first term airmen to like remedial tech school where they covered stupid poo poo like customs and courtesies and you picked up trash around base (which was cool I taught everyone in my group how to drive stick). Anyways on the last day they did uniform inspections and stressed the importance of creases and shined boots for your BDU's. The week before I went and bought ABU's and wore those since they never said I couldn't. The SNCO running the program tried to give me an LOC for it but thankfully someone put a stop to that nonsense.
