Re: I about lost my shit reading this!
Hey man, did you read the offical adoption date of this new headgear? It's 1 April 2012. I'd say the U.S. Army just pulled a fast one on you and you took it. Hook, line, sinker, rod and reel.
Re: I about lost my shit reading this!
What a fine waste of tax dollars and resources. April Fools' jokes from the Army? Really?

Re: I about lost my shit reading this!
hey monkeys, what day is it?
this is an Onion story from a few years back. that said, the fuck's wrong with a good, manly piece of headgear? been warn in the Cav for the last 42 years with style and panache.
what really amazes me is that DA has enough of a sense of humor to put it up, with approval; or some young subversives don't give a shit what the boss thinks, and hung it online anyway.

Re: I about lost my shit reading this!
I actually got a good chuckle out of it. For a minute there I thought the Army might actually be something of a competent organization. Then I walked outside my CHU.
Re: I about lost my shit reading this!
FINALLY! The Army comes up with an idea that is both good for morale and timely!!!! With all of the fudge packers enlisting, and in need of a more "Designer" uniform, the Army gives themsomething they can relate to.....a fucking cowboy hat!
I never wore a cape, but I still have my dog tags.

Re: I about lost my shit reading this!
No I knew it was a joke by the time I was done reading it, but in my early morning haze the first half of it had me about ready to throw my computer through the window. Luckily, I finished the article instead of taking that first COA, haha.
