\"Ike-Jacket\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Bobo sends us a link to The Army Times<\/a> which reports that the Army is asking the troops about uniform changes, you know, because there isn’t enough crap going on in the world, you should be worried about a new Army Regulation 670-1, too. I know that the troops rejected that hideous “Ike jacket” thing once, but it’s back – I guess someone with stars really likes the idea, so they’re going to put it to a vote one more time. It’s not like the Army isn’t listening;<\/p>\n

The survey has already led to one change: Soldiers are now allowed to wear black socks when they\u2019re doing PT.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s why you have that private in your PT formation dressed like a 70-year-old retiree on vacation in Florida. Maybe they should put a “Members Only” collar on that Ike jacket to complete the look. More useless, pointless ideas;<\/p>\n

Eliminating the female drill sergeant hat, with all soldiers instead wearing a single campaign hat.
\n Going to a single blue service cap, or \u201cbus driver cap,\u201d for male and female soldiers to wear with the Army Service Uniform,
\n Requiring senior noncommissioned officers and higher to wear the blue service cap, instead of the beret, while in the Army Service Uniform.
\n Changes to the fit and material of the white shirt for the Army Service Uniform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m thinking that they should put those people who come up with these ideas back to work doing something useful, like giving them a rifle and train them to do something related to killing our nation’s enemies. By the way, that Ike jacket is absolutely hideous and it won’t do anything but keep the PX tailors busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
