I refused to wear ABUs until the BDUs were completely phased out. Never saw shining boots as a problem, I could completely zone out and do it on autopilot while watching tv. Starching wasn't too bad, because we didn't go pants-on-head over it, being aircrew. It just had to look crisper than a flight suit, which meant about 5 minutes of effort and not leaving them in the dryer overnight.

ABUs were dogshit, aside from being wash-and-wear. I wish the AF had just skipped to OCPs.

I liked BDUs as well. The OCPs look cool. I didn't miss shining boots though. When the suede boots were brand new I ran into a retired Chief somewhere who was blown away we weren't wearing black boots anymore.

Funny how the whole thing about Melgar reporting the SEALs for siphoning money out of a CI fund hasn't been mentioned.

That's the most hosed up thing about the current reporting is that it isn't touching on why they murdered the dude. loving sad that it was such a light sentence for those absolute scumbags

After my MOB, I hated having to go back to the Navy Type IIIs from the Army OCPs. If we're all, Marines excluded, gonna wear green camo why not the just all wear OCPs. Beyond feeling more comfortable than the Type IIIs, I also enjoyed the pen holder at the end of the sleeve

quote:

Trump told Sarah Sanders to 'take one for the team' after Kim Jong-un wink
Wed 2 Sep 2020

Donald Trump told Sarah Sanders she would have to “go to North Korea and take one for the team”, after Kim Jong-un winked at the then White House press secretary during a summit in Singapore in June 2018.

“Kim Jong-un hit on you!” a delighted Trump joked, according to Sanders’ new memoir. “He did! He loving hit on you!”

Speaking for Myself will be released next Tuesday. The Guardian obtained a copy.

Speaking of the Navy, I stumbled upon what I'm assuming is some sort of training video in which a bunch of crew don't give a gently caress about Seaman New Guy coming aboard. I'm guessing this is commonplace and, also, :rip: if you had to sit through too many of these?

Kim Jong Un was just signaling he was ready for the heel turn and was gonna gently caress 'em.

Trump just read it wrong and projected an unwanted sexual advance on his employee instead.

When I was a kid almost everything we did was ironic. Nothing was meant as anything but a joke. Jokes were like, the main form of communication for us and looking back at it now it was, frankly, a harsh culture. God help you if you were so dumb you didn't understand irony because you'd be un-personed then bullied relentlessly

This Kim Jong-Un thing just gave me a flashback to then - it's sort of strange, but I think he was making a harsh joke? Like, loving clear-as-day (very mean) joke? And the dumbest man in the universe didn't get it.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
Pretty sure the conservative brain is entirely incapable of understanding irony.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

quote:

Of the incident with Kim, whom Trump courted assiduously in the first two years of his presidency, Sanders describes a session at the Singapore talks in which the dictator “reluctantly” accepted a Tic Tac from Trump, who “dramatically blew into the air to reassure Kim it was just a breath mint” and not a capsule of poison.

Now that he can't actively kill us all at will, the insanity of the early days of Trump somehow feel like cheeky fun shenanigans compared to what came.

He claimed he was a total germaphobe as an argument against the theological necessity of the piss tape, but I think he's not always entirely truthful, either.
