Well, if you are workin for em you best do what they say. Ever seen a marine brig? Misbehaving sailors go there, I hear it's no fun, worse then any state prison around. You give up idividuality when you join, it's not a secret. Take those shirts off or end up at Capt.'s mast.

 

Of course being an "ex" sailor who had to many "pints" taped to my leg broken by Marine guards at Navy Yard gates with their "batons" I got to ask, just how smart a guy would be to wear one when all these "T's" come with a "target" printed on the backs!

 

great point.

 

You mean you sailors and flyboys who had the good food and clean sheets got your hands dirty sometimes?

 

hey, we value our clean hands ...

I recommend the gloves:

Hey, when I was a gunners mate on a destroyer I had to shimmey up the barrel to sand and paint often, after all I was makin a ton.

After I went to subs things changed. Talk about clean sheets and good food 24 hours a day. That was great duty.

 

Now that I think about it, what are the Army guys complainig about?

They got paid to go on hikes, campouts, bonding parites, meeting the local babes while some of
us lived inside the damn jet engine cowlings scrapping bird remains off the impeller blades or mopping
spilled jet fuel.

OHHHH THE STINK ! ! !
