Showing your colours

[PuckChaser]

I heard the t-shirt rumour last summer over the phone while I was ordering new boots from the Valcatraz clothing store. The clerk said something about one t-shirt for every environment to save money. However, I think the US Marines successfully fielded a green t-shirt with their arid MARPAT uniforms so the point is kind of moot.

Do the new ECU combats retain that mandarin collar design? If so, T-Shirt colour is moot.

We are supposed to button-up the gentleman collars in the field in the first place so the collar type is a moot point too.

edit to add ''in the field''

I have not seen one person button up that collar in the field without being ridiculed.

That depends if you outrank that person or not.

I've seen ridicule go upwards and downwards -- the variable being how public it is. 


In fact, I'm pretty sure it's offensive and discriminatory to moderate your ridicule based on rank.

Point of interest:  Ridicule is one of a very few things that defy the laws of physics, by actually rolling uphill and gathering mass and momentum as it travels.

lmao.

The last guy I saw with the buttons done up was my CO. He also had helmet scrim on. But he is a 7 foot ex football player and I was a brand new platoon commander and I wanted to keep it that way. haha

Nope, that's five shirts. Just make sure you're wearing the correct one for the Sergeant Major in front of you.

A la Gunny Highway t-shirt parade, right?
