Rules are Rules

It's funny how we take little things like what we can wear for granted at times. There's a certain uniform we have to be wearing when we work. We have a lovely white uniform that makes us look like cooks. It's funny how people hate wearing this uniform and would do anything to wear ACU(Army Combat Uniform). But I remember back in basic we used to do anything to not wear these things. I know those times are long gone, but I remember when I first came out of basic it felt weird to not be in ACUs or not have a "battle buddy." It was weird, I was brainwashed to be in ACUs or else the world will end. But yeah, now things have changed. I just do whatever I want, well just the minimal. It's funny how you come in having ideals and basically leave with bitterness and mediocrity.

Here in the Middle East it's ACU's or PT's, so...I choose PT's every day.

Well, until I start working, at least. Then it'll be full battle rattle with flame retardant ACU's, which I think is flame retardant solely because they are so damn hot that they become drenched in sweat within seconds of stepping outside.

Good luck with the bitterness and mediocrity. We've got plenty of the bitterness going on over here, but none of this mediocrity. We strive for excellence in our bitching and moaning.
