Has anyone figured out how to dye goretex yet? I'd love to make my stupid APECS black or at least dark enough to be unrecognizable. Might dye the fleece too, that thing IS awesome.

V Mine is the Air Force's stupid light green. I'll probably dye it dark green.

was flying down to san francisco from toronto, was supposed to be on air canada but got code-shared with united instead.

Had a bunch of presents for US relatives so I had my old CF duffel bag and she goes to charge me for it but then asks "are you military", I say yes and she says, no poo poo "thank you for your service, we'll waive the charge today"

only time that's ever worked.

Showing mil ID as your ID to check in almost universally gets you free bags on US airlines, you don't even have to ask or make a big fuss, just show the ID and they'll waive the fees.

Never tried it with a VA or retired ID or Canuckistan ID though

Should've deployed to Afghanistan post AF deciding that multicam was the way to go, coyote brown fleece all around. By far the best and most often used piece of issued gear that I have. Not as good as black but by far better than stupid Sage colored anything.

If you're enrolled with the VA all you need is 2 forms of ID.

I've got the VA card too but in a weird twist of fate the cac-id is more effective at getting mil discounts than a veteran id

I was annoyed they made me get a new CAC that expired on my ETS as part of clearing. I wanted some free airline checked bags for a year or two. oh well. I have mine laying around too but the photo obviously doesn't match up any more.

If you don't enter your mil ID # as your Known Traveler # when you're booking a flight online, you're an idiot. TSA pre-check is the greatest thing to happen to air travel since hot stewardesses. Total time from entering the terminal to passing security was under a minute for me at Boston-Logan last Sunday. Didn't even have to take my shoes off.

Why do I always want to sock it to you so hard?
A couple weeks ago I was in line behind a guy who was wearing a shirt that had a definition of veteran on the back. Each arm had a tattoo of a combat scene with the american flag, his belt said veteran all the way around it, and his backwards hat said he was a vet. I was really tempted to follow him to his car and see how many bumper stickers he had about it.

My blue ID is my most cherished possesion. Second is my custom MO vet plates: 6FYGM9

It's one of the better trolls I've ever done, because I'm positive SOME of the vets out there get it, but it's even better that most don't. It actually looks like a regular looking licence plate.

Also:


Rules.

And now I want SMDFTB as a custom liscense plate. That's so much better than 6FYGM9 now that I see it.

I ate food from an army cook for my entire first deployment.

I wonder how long you have to go to AIT to boil water, drop a bag of food in it, then sleep for 18 hours
