Says in this article that US army chicks get a sheewee: http://www.womenyoushouldknow.net/what-in-the-world-is-a-shewee/. Is that true or just bullshit? Looks like it's alot easier to piss with that. Instead of taking down your camo-pants, goretex-pants, wool underwear, netting underwear and panties while an old EOD guy and his dog stares and laughs at you you can just open the fly and go.

If those don't have shoulder pockets it's a real loss for our fightin' men and womyn.

The side-zipper shoulder pockets from the combat shirts were great. Glad to see they made it into the regular uniform.

GODDAMMIT!!! If that is a brown shirt I'm going to be pissed. I had like 20 of them still in plastic that I threw out when I moved. And just get rid of the drat Velcro, gently caress.

They're useful for tossing keys, small notebooks, ID badges, etc. in. Basically anything flat/lightweight that you don't want to lose.

Hopefully the army will have kicked me out before I have to buy any of this bullshit. Being in TRADOC means I'm right at the urethra of the big green army cock, so I hope not.

Well, after a crazy couple of days of appointments I suddenly find myself in Landstuhl. Apparently I more than likely need surgery on my shoulder for "internal derangement". I feel like a super douche because they give everyone here all kinds of Wounded Warrior stuff...

You were evac'd from Trashganistan to one of the awesomest places in Europe. Don't be a bitch, go forth and use your good arm to hoist bier for your country. Unless they have you on some kind of cruel lock down because you're straight out the "war zone" and would probably run around raping German women if they set you free.

So is this boot thing a "by post" policy or something? It isn't in 670-1 and no one seems to have heard of it or care here....yet.

It's always been in 670-1, the line is The issue Army combat boot, HW, is made of tan-colored, flesh-side out cattlehide leather and nylon duck upper, removable cushioned insert, a closed loop speed lace system, and drainage eyelets. The boots in that powerpoint slide doing the rounds have a synthetic upper, which apparently means you will spontaneously catch fire and kill your battle buddy and your mom. So it's always been a thing but no one gave a gently caress because it doesn't matter. Now someone army important gives a gently caress so we all gotta give a gently caress. My unit gives a slight gently caress, so we all gotta get right eventually, but no one's freaking out yet. Some other units like faggoty 3rd brigade give an immense gently caress because they can't get enough army cock down their throats hard enough. Edit: Oh, and this is another part of 670-1 (a) As an option, Soldiers may wear commercial boots of a design similar to that of the Army combat boot (tan), as authorized by the commander. The boots must be between 8 to 10 inches in height and made of tan flesh-side out cattlehide leather, with a plain toe and a soling system matching the color of the tan upper materials. Rubber and polyether polyurethane are the only outsole materials that are authorized. The soling materials will not exceed 2 inches in height, when measured from the bottom of the outsole, and will not extend up the back of the heel or boot or over the top of the toe. The exterior of the boot upper will not contain mesh but will be constructed of either all leather or a combination of leather and nonmesh fabric. Soldiers may wear optional boots in lieu of the Army combat boot (tan), as authorized by the commander; however, they do not replace issue boots as a mandatory possession item. not caring here fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Aug 3, 2014 |

not caring here posted:It's always been in 670-1, the line is There's another line in there that states that all soldiers are required to have 3 sets of "issue" boots, two of which are hot weather and the third are temperate. Although I'd like to believe that couldn't ever really wind up being a thing, you know? Gotta hold out hope.
