First it was making sure your white knee high socks were pulled all the way up (back in the 80s). Then it was the reflective belt always on in a war zone so you could look tactically safe (the last 5-6 years in Afghanistan and Iraq). Now it is the fleece cap being pulled down properly and never rolled up.
But, don’t pull on that cap if you’re planning a short walk to the post exchange. And under no circumstances, should you roll it up. The cap must be pulled down snugly, she wrote.
Yeah that is WAAAYYYYY more important for a Sergeant Major to be worrying about than lets say, the increased rate of soldier suicides, the climbing divorce rate, how they will maintain morale in the ranks with the upcoming distraction of DADT being repealed, soldiers in a war zone getting enough ammo, medevac or CAS support or how to call in a 9-line medevac while under fire.
Glad to see that life is so easy in the Army that the “leaders” can focus on dumb $hit like this.
