Newbie?? I take the weekend off and all of a sudden we're all PC. I think the term we're searching for here is cherry.

Hey SR , I got one of those shirts and it's not that old, is it?SnafuRacer wrote:Yesterday, I went to Babies R Us to buy some toys for my new niece, and I see this couple shopping. The guy is wearing the old grey PT shirt with the "ARMY" across the chest. I try to strike a quick conversation, thinking that he's in the army around here or PS, since I'm in a Navy town. He says that he's never been in the military. I ask him why is he wearing the shirt then. His reply:"It's my brother in law's. I find the shirt cool"Why don't you enlist then, dumb mofo?
Matter of fact, I was PTing in it during lunch today.

Speaking of clothes with Army on them
The funny thing is before I became a recruiter the only thing I had that said Army on it was my PFU and BDU's. NOW I can't find any shirts to wear that DOES NOT have something Army on it....Ain't that a bisnatch?

Best newbie sighting ever:
In the mini-mall area at Fort Benning.
Blue jeans, PT sneakers.
Mirrored sunglasses (indoors).
"Death from Above" t shirt.
Airborne teddy bear under his arm (complete with BDU, beret).
reading a Hustler magazine.
That was a couple of years ago, before camelbacks were big.
Don't be that guy!
