Hell yeah. Only the Army would make aircrews blouse and unblouse when stepping in and out of an aircraft.

Spent a week attached to 4/160 SOAR... they all complained about that and were talking about how awesome it was being TDY to a Navy base so they didn’t have to. Lmao

So what are E-9s out doing these days as part of the OCP flightsuit uniform police? I miss getting Chiefed ever since I started wearing the two-piece a couple days a week. With the green bag I used to get talked to for rolling up my sleeves until that became legal again, so then I started leaving both lower cap pockets unzipped, but that didn’t seem to catch any E-9s outside of Maxwell. Somebody please help me out. I don’t know how much longer I can go without being “mentored”. I’m really starting to wonder if they care about me anymore.

Wear the ball cap. 

Ha ha. I didn’t realize that was a hot topic item. Thanks for the tip! At my Guard base everyone wears them.

Just to be clear this is for those times I’m out in the system or deployed. I’m at one of the few remaining “old guard” units and no one here cares about stupid stuff like that.

Only works TDY. Down range the ball caps are approved.




Other ideas, if you have combat shirts, wearing them stateside without body armor is another good way to get chiefed.

Lol, I feel like this deserves it's own thread.  Our base doesn't work Fridays, so our "Friday shirt" is actually a Thursday shirt.  Of course we launch most of our X/Cs or squadron TDYs on a Thursday, so we get lots of double takes when we land at an AD base.

Or the black like the Army? I still want to know who thought it was a good idea to make most of our ranks be that spice brown so you can’t tell what they are until it’s too late?

I still think the USMC E-4 mafia keeping the black rank  on the woodland cammies so they can absolutely nuke the living shit out of new guys that can’t see their rank is classic.

Soooo....I'm sure there are other thrifty folks out there....

I used this:

to dye my stash of fancy XGO $50 ultrathin fire retardantshirts from sand to "chocolate coyote brown".  Roughly 6 shirts per bottle.  More to follow on how well it holds up, but good enough for government work!

You're that dude that holds everyone up for 30 minutes so you can use a coupon that expired last week at the grocery store too arent you?
