I never got a waffle top, only the bottoms.  I still have those and wear them in the winteri kept the polypros, the lighter ones they ended up putting out instead of those 1/4in thick ones I got the first time in

All soldiers should be fitted for prosthetic dicks and a pair of tits to be worn at all times so that they're truly equal

I have like 5 sets of waffles because the Army won't stop giving me new ones. Poncho liner is also awesome. My poncho liner sleeping bag is even better.

My favorite piece of military clothing is the boonie hat. Partly due to the fact that it's highly functional at protecting you from the sun, but mostly because SNCOs almost universally despise it. Oh yeah, and our BDE commander mandated it for all personnel while not in battle rattle during my deployment to Afghanistan, which made it even better.

I threw a lot of my poo poo into a dumpster as soon as I signed out on terminal leave. Donated the waffles to Goodwill--maybe they're keeping someone warm.

Good things about the Army lately: In my battalion, the sleeve rolling policy is gently caress all free. None of that "one rolls, all roll", bullshit. You roll and your buddy doesn't, whatever, no one says anything. I like rolled sleeves, but some do not and it's awesome we don't have to match. Second good thing, t-shirt and no hat is an acceptable working uniform, unlike in many units that my friends bitch about. So that's cool and good. Third, we can use combat shirts and combat pants during any activity if we want besides straight up office work. Finally, my sergeant believes it is my name's fault, it being a hyphenated first name, and a last name of "Vähäkylä", that causes most tables and lists to break. Every time I go to CIF, I get brand new poo poo all the time. Camelbaks, eyepro, kneepads, waffles, ACUs, all individual issue I have now gotten 5 loving times, and always the same story. "It doesn't seem like you were issued a Goretex before", as I roll out with my fifth expensive jacket. I wonder when it's gonna catch up to me. I'm drowning in mountains of poo poo. Lol, some people didn't even get issued combat uniforms, and I got them two times here in Italy, so now I can deck out a fire team from my drawer.

Eagerly anticipating hearing about how CIF turn in goes for you. And knowing how awful government systems are, that guy's probably right and your name would make it freak the gently caress out. Whenever we had anyone like that we just used unaccented letters and the first of their hyphenated names, fixed any problems we would have every time. Edit: not sure about you, but man you've been handing out a lot of PII on here that I wouldn't be comfortable with having out there.

oh yeah we had those too. in fact when i joined the normal pts that everyone wore were called "high speeds" and we'd get to wear those when we got to forscom and we only ever wore the grey sweats. Reception told us we had to wear the pt shorts under our BDUs though because I guess they thought it was funny and so we all did that for a few weeks until our drill sergeants called us retarded faggots or something I never wore apfu until i went to my first unit edit: everyone was mad because the pts (and berets) that everyone knows was relatively new at the point and people were still mad that they had to buy them instead of having them issued, much like the ASU CHICKEN SHOES fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Jul 12, 2017 |

Having a unique last name with less than 40 members in the tree, combined with a perfectly unique first name, and having written a book, many articles, used it as a nickname, and maintaining a fairly solid internet footpring, my last name has like zero expecatation of privacy anymore. By googling me you get a face, articles, a life story summary, a picture of me looking like a homeless, mentions from a TV show in Finland, etc etc. There's just no reason for me to safeguard it anymore. Last coup de grace was google somehow removing my old nickname from my youtube-account and slapping my bright spanking real name on it without my consent a long time ago, and whoosh, that was basically it. Good thing my wife has a general white bread last name. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Jul 12, 2017 |
