I’m really hating right now. I’ve always wondered why the military doesn’t just put a bid out there to 3 major atheltic apparel companies like Nike, Adidas, NB, Puma etc and get one of the best products at a great price point instead of reinventing the wheel. Well the Marines have just gone and done it and I’m jealous. 2 PT uniform revisions and the USAF still has the worst one of the bunch, and they cost more than the Marines’.
+1 on the hatin’ jealousy.
Because so many Army personnel are fat bodies, all of us have to look like a bag of ass in our PTs.
And now that anyone with an ID can buy one, the Marine retirees in my office now have a cool new piece of moto gear to rub in my face…
360 degree reflective material…but you still need a reflective belt if you go for a run in the thing. because if you and the 200+ other marines in your formation run arent wearing reflective belts, the terrorists win.
