The New iTWB

Order of the Undercollar

May 4th, 2010

This guy looks REALLY proud to be an Engineer.  I bet he has castle buttons on his Class A's too.When the ACU was adopted by the Army, the rank insignia was moved to the center of the chest and the officer branch insignia was eliminated from the utility uniform. Naturally, this didn’t stop officers from wearing their branch insignia, they just had to come up with some interesting ways of doing it. Then comes along, Order of the Undercollarâ„¢, a company founded to provide branch insignia that fits perfectly on the Velcro found under the collar on the ACU. That way, an officer can flash his buddies the high sign so they know who’s who. I can say one thing, they are honkin’ big so you won’t have any problems sorting lawyers and tankers. Not sure if they have a MultiCam version coming yet or not but they will do custom runs with a unit designator. Be sure to check out the HH6 patch as well in case she, or he for that matter lounges around in ACUs.

Always Bring Protection

May 2nd, 2010

In honor of our 1500th post, we thought we’d do something a little different; make you laugh. Yep, that’s right…1500 posts. In two years we’ve missed publishing one day, and that was a Saturday in order to attend a family reunion. Pretty good track record. This website is the real deal, not some hobbyist copy-cat site set up in order to get free stuff, and we don’t sell useless subscription services for non-existent “insider” content. Every reader gets access to the same stories. So support our sponsors, because they make this experience possible for you.

So without further ado….there’s no nudity or vulgarity here but considering how PC the workplace can be these days we are labeling this NOT Safe For Work. If you are dead set on seeing the gag then click here.
