So there was some exercise on post, still not sure exactly what it was for but we were tasked to support it so we had to drop our YTC prep, get everyone kitted up, draw weapons, load up our strykers and be redcon 1. Fortunately our CO got us out of it somehow, were told to stand down before we started drawing weapons.

Hey dudes who've had the pleasure of taking care of a smokey bear hat or other flat brimmed battle fedora. What's the best way of getting the brim flat. I have taken step one of not giving a gently caress but at some point I should make sure it doesn't catch attention. Ironing it through a teatowel got the bend out of it but it's kinda up and down a bit around the edge.

If you want a device to hold it flat, you want what's called a 'brim press'. If you have to use an iron, use a cool setting and low steam, with a pressing cloth in between the iron and the felt (you can get away with using a cotton sheet). High heat and too much steam will turbo gently caress the felt. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Apr 21, 2017 |

Would be nice, but hard to do when the whole unit has them. Didn't get any flack wearing it today, so I think the thing to do wear it and hope for anzac day and make up a hat press for next year. I don't think anyone but an american could mistake my new zealand robot accent for Aussie, unfortunately.

Even if I could tell it was New Zealand, a fair chance I'd say you were Aussie just to see the NZ rage flow.

The only reason I like wearing a stetson is because it gets me out of wearing a beret, the worst hat ever invented. Nobody has any business wearing a beret unless it's green.

I'm at a post/unit where the bus driver hat is encouraged, especially for senior NCOs and officers. Haven't worn a beret in like 18 months.

Naked Bear posted:I... will agree with this, but "better than a beret" is a pretty low bar to clear. Stetsons are goofy as gently caress, but at least they'll keep the Yeah but the whole "I wear this poo poo inside because I can and argue with me about it" crowd is insufferable.

I don't give a gently caress how bad a beret is, this poo poo is infinitely more dorky and ridiculous I'm sorry     The only person that ever made a stetson look remotely edit: Since someone is going to say "I don't care if I look cool" or whatever I'm editing the last part CHICKEN SHOES fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Apr 21, 2017 |
