Everyone who does this sucks dong

Man, is it just me that is bothered by this?

I hate seeing these ub3r overweight people walking around (that couldn't pass a PT test if their life depended on it) wearing Army PTs. They obviously arn't in the Army. They look like hippies with their long air. They are about 300 lbs overweight and wear jeans with the t-shirt. Seriously.. WTF?!?!? I don't walk around in my normal gym clothes.. STOP YOU LOOK WEIRD.

I'm not into camo as a fashion trend in general. You see people walking around the mall in camo shirts, pants, whatever, and no matter what shape they're in I wanna be like, "OMG I can't see you, where are you?!?"

Or, wait. Are PTs the gray shorts/tshirts that just say "ARMY" on them? Yeah, that's stupid too, especially if they're not IN the army. You wouldn't wear the letters of a sorority you weren't in, would you?

-K

[Betheny]

I have a USAF jogging t-shirt. But I don't wear it. All you can see on it is the SA on the front because of my boobage. :(

[Latrinsorm]

I don't think he's talking about camoflage. I never minded the fad too much, and even bought some pants that are camo (just like my heroine and role model). However, I did see some camo boxers once, and I think we can all agree that's going a little too far.

[SpunGirl]

It's for disguise in the bedroom, in case you're hiding from someone scary.

I wore camo pants my senior year of high school, because all seniors did on spirit days (long story). Otherwise, it's a purely funcitonal fabric that doesn't make much sense in suburbia.

[Jonty]

Or, wait. Are PTs the gray shorts/tshirts that just say "ARMY" on them?

Yes.

[Chelle]

Oh don't get me started. I HATE the camo crap thats out. Like camo purses, shoes, mini skirts. Hello?? this doesn't even look good! I don't mind the grey t-shirts that say ARMY on them, maybe they're proud a loved one is in the army. Thats okay with me, but the camo fashion is just tacky, unless you are hiding from snipers.

[AnticorRifling]

If I see someone in Marine PT gear out in public I ask them if they are in the Marines, if they say yes I proceed to light them up. You don't wear that shit off of base. If they say no I just kind of chuckle.

[DeV]

I'd rather see that than the numerous Navy guys and girls walking around in their black coats and white hats. I see this mainly up in the burbs where the base is when I'm going to the mall. The Navy hat is cute, but its not that cute to be walking around with a misshaped paper boat on your head when not on duty.

[Betheny]

Uniforms make me hot.

So do dress clothes.

Oh my.

[SpunGirl]

Oooh, bois in uniform are HAWT. I don't care what a guy looks like, he automatically goes up at least 10 hot points (on a 100 scale, if you must know) if he has any kind of military uniform on.

Are you upset about people not in the army wearing your clothing or just overweight people.

If its the former I can understand your case. If its the latter, well not that you care but, I don't give a shit about your case.

Yeah, they're squeeky as hell when coming in from the rain too, how the hell is some special-ops guy supposed to be all stealth and shit wearing squeeky-squeeky shoes?

[SpunGirl]

At least the shoes don't say "I R IN SPESHUL FORSEZ" or something mo like that.

They say, "Elite Special forces, standard issue," in some weird looking triangle thing.

It's hopeless.

[Edited on 11-29-2004 by Stanley Burrell]

Not fat people in Army PTs. I mean people in general wearing PTs in public. You just don't wear that shit when you are walking around off duty (I understand if you're stepping out off base real quick for an errand or whatever) or even worse, people that wear Army PTs that arn't even in the Army. FUCKING STUPID. I don't care about the camo shit, it's a fad that's been out, but the PTs piss me off.

THe reason I used fat people is that ub3r fat people are not in the Army.. Well, not usually at least.

[RiverRat]

If people wear them to show their support of the armed forces, I'm entirely fine with it. If they wear them to try and make folks believe that they were or are in the Armed Forces then they're idiots.

I'd never do it, but I don't think its a bad thing.

Hah, I just got back from the Mall in my APFU's. I wear them off base all the time. BDU's too. Laziness is a beautiful thing.

Ub3r fat people should not wear tight cloths.

But this is not a fat thread.

This is a thread that says ub3r fat people are not in the Army and thus have even less of a reason to wear Army PTs.

- Arkans

Eh, wear an Army shirt you can buy at any PX. Don't wear gym clothes!

[4a6c1]

Arkans quit being shitty. I wore my brothers grey 'ARMY' shirts when he was in Iraq because I missed him.

OMG, I R SENTIMENTAL. KEEL ME CAUSE I SUX DONG

[Fallen]

My parents usually stop by the PX to buy my sister Army PT gear whenever they visit. It really is good stuff. Dont worry though, Arkans, my sister is in pretty good shape.

[Arshwikk]

Okay, getting a bit off topic here, but since it's all about t-shirt fashion, I was watching "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" again on satellite last night and had to throw this in.

Johnny Depp's character is wearing F-ed up shirts...and I'm not sure how obvious it's meant to be, so it's kinda suttle humor. For example, he's barging in on the room of his hottie (X partner, or love interest?) who is pissed at him, and threatening to shoot him, and the shirt he has on under an unbuttoned button-up is one of those "I'm with stupid" shirts...okay, in rl they are totally played out, but it was funny as hell in his setting. The best one though is the one he wore to the bull fight...he's a fricken rogue CIA agent, and he's at the bull fight cutting scandalous deals with shady characters wearing a T that says "C.I.A." big as hell right on the front. If I was gonna be a drug dealer, seeing that movie, I would have to wear a shirt all the time that says "NARC". Though, I might not last long in the biz that way.

Wear his forest BDU's to be sentimental, they are not gym clothes!!!

- Arkans

PS: Fallen's sister is excused

[Kadumi]

I go to texas a&m. our corps of cadets is a pretty big thing around here. I really really can't stand it when they're all about the corps when 90% of em are fat and lazy. most of them do the corps thing to get into the military and boy oh boy are they in for a rude awakening.

Johnny Depp's character is the best part of that movie. His shirts were obviously a way of saying that he doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks and probably thinks that he's too good to get smited for his actions anyway.

However if you saw someone wearing a NARC t-shirt, would you really think he was seriously advertising himself, or just being a smartass? :D

Wow. I'm surprised by the amount of service folks here.

I'd say something motivational, like "Semper" or "Oorah", since y'know... I'm a Marine.

All that talk about silky PT shorts got me kind of excited too, I'm wearing mine right now.

I'm currently wearing my smurfs.

I actually tried to do a regulation PT test like my brother showed me. I did fine until the very end of the running part. I thought I was going to die or my lungs would explode or both at the same time...over and over. :lol:

omg I love dealing with marines who do this. More IV sticking experience for me.

I met a couple at lejeune who were in top shape, but once did something incredibly stupid, but hilarious, during a PFA(or PFT, whatever it is in the marines). About 3-400 yards short of the end of the 3 mile run, in which they'd be minutes ahead of everyone, the three of them would stop, light up a cigarette, and finish the run smoking.

[AnticorRifling]

You all hate on Marine Corps PT uniforms because no matter what we wear we always out preform you! And besides I look good in my green, silk, running shorts, and greet skivvy shirt. Don't hate on my because I'm a PT beast :cool:

Also anyone that's wearing cammies in public gets laughed at by me, loudly. I don't care what branch you're in that shit looks stupid. Lots of Nation Guard idiots get all pissed off at me and my brother because we make fun of them hard for wearing their (you guys call them BDU's I think I don't know because I don't have a dress uniform for battle because in battle I'm fighting) in public.

Another also... Dave and Arkans are on my list of people to get five across the face followed by a healthy round of drinking.

Well I would not understand why anyone would wear white bellbottoms if they had a choice.

You get a lot of people going through Chicago in the navy uniform, considering great lakes is right there.

Im not sure how the navy runs though, Do they have a TRADOC enviroment like the army post basic?

[AnticorRifling]

I think Corpsman go to school in Great Lakes. Best navy people ever because they got's the pain killers!

mostly because those you see wearing their blues through chicago are still going through after-boot-camp training/just graduated boot camp, and are only allowed to leave base in dress uniform.

and we have two dress uniforms. I prefer dress blues over dress whites.

Though something is now in the works for all the navy. They're going to get rid of most of our uniforms, and replace them with camo's....

Cause you're a muffin! You don't do pullups or a 3mile run and you call that a PT test? That's a PT warmup!!

Lighting up cigarettes.. ROFL, that's awesome.

I know a few at the HHC I work at that do their PT run with a wad of dip in their mouth. I'd swallow that shit in a second, just gross!

Also, I hate wearing my BDUs out in public. It makes me feel like a jerk..

OOOOO LOOK AT ME I R SOLDIR.

Well that depends, I do a 4-6 mile run on a regular basis here for PT(with an optional 12 mile run saturday mornings). Depending which sergeant takes our group out, since none of our Drills can keep up with the few that enjoy running.

2min of pushups, 2 min of situps, and a 2mile run. Does the job if you push yourself.

Them sounds like fighting words. Consider it a challenge if we are ever in the same area. There will be a picture posted here passed out drunk with FUCKING PWNED!!!!111 in big letters underneath.

Push ups and sit ups arn't bad if you are least mildly in shape. Then run, you just gotta push yourself and not smoke cigarettes right before.

we got honor platoon, brm, apft, D&S8, gernade, and EOCT.
I cant help it, we were good.

It's fucked up. In BCT I had the most uptight platoon and had the fear of God instilled in them from our Drill Sergeants. Everyone ratted everyone out out of fear of getting smoked. There were two groups. "The Narcs" and the "Good Guys". The "Good Guys" did stupid shit, but got by. "The Narcs" were all afraid. It's because of this that we consistantly finished last in EVERYTHING.

Like the DI wanna be's said, it is against regs to go walking around in your PTs and BDUs outside of post under most circumstances. I have been called on it and counciled many a time for it, and will be many more times in the future.

Whenever I am not working I am in PTs. That being said, If I am in my PTs and I want to go off post, I will be damned if I will go all the way back to my barracks and change just to do so. I'll take the risk that some terrorist might try to grab me and lop off my head.

As for civilians wearing Armed Forces gear? Like the others said, thats just free entertainment. Nothing makes me laugh more than seeing a goth all dressed up in old Class A's.

I think the funniest shit to me is the dipshits that are in the services somehow (Nat Guard, Reserves, Active, whatever...) try to act all bad ass and shit about being in for a while...specially when they've never been on a deployment anywhere...hell I know/knew a few guys that had never even hit an NTC rotation...

Love the uniform pictures. Love them. Love, love, love them. Dave and The Korean get bonus points for showing various uniforms!

I've a gambit of Ts.

I've got a healthy stock of Army PTs from my brothers, I've got some navy gear from my sis's 8 year stint, I've got some "Bush lied, people died" Ts, I've got a few BFC and F9-11 Ts as well.

As tough as most military folk like to pretend to be, none have had the nads to speak up when I'm wearing an Army PT top in public.

If you don't like what I wear, speak up and try to take it off of me, I'll hand your ass back to you in pieces.

It doesn't matter what the person's weight is, if it bothers you so much ... go find a fucking identity and solve your issue.

I wear my man's BDU pants all the time, they're good to have around if you're doing cleaning/repair projects.

[Tsa`ah]

I look at it this way, if your whole identity is wrapped up in what people wear in conjunction with your affiliation, you need a reality check.

Why not bitch about people that wear sports jerseys yet aren't athletes of the clubs they advertise?

Why not bitch about people wearing college shirts of schools they don't attend?

Why not bitch about people that wear comic/movie/game/fandom shirts of things that they themselves are not in?

It's a though process that is ignorant beyond words.

I've seen your pix Arkans, you're a cutie - now show us some of that uniform. ;)

Pics of the Arkans? where are.....they? :saint:

Tsa'ah a lot of people look at the army uniform (any military uniform for that matter) as something you need to earn the right to wear.

[Tsa`ah]

And the "lot" of people's opinion matters in what way?

You would have a valid argument if someone were walking around in a recognized uniform, sporting dog tags, patches, medals and rank insignias ... but we're talking about PTs.

It's not any different than wearing a Bear's jersey or Harvard T.

Like I said, find an identity and find a real issue.

[Edited to add]

Right to wear PTs? The only thing you did to earn the "right" is go to basic. We're not talking about a Navy Seal pin or SF badge here, we're talking about something that says ARMY on it.

Perhaps it's not me that needs to pay attention, rather it's you that needs to shrink your ego long enough to accept when the word "you" comes up, unless your name is in the post, it is a general "you" and not a specific "you".

[Czeska]

I'm in agreement with the concept that a tshirt saying "ARMY" (or whatever branch you choose) is not an insult (unless you're claiming to be something you're not, then you're just an idiot). I also view it as a sign of moral support.

Now the formal uniforms, medals, what have you? Different.

I can see the shops making shitloads of money selling those simple grey shirts with a tiny little yellow ribbon pictured at the bottom, or on the back just below the neck. The "support our troops" magnetic ribbons seem to be on half the cars out there.

Often you are required to wear your Dress Uniform when you go off base. I rarely see army guys wearing their uniforms off base, come to think of it, not at all. I know the soldiers receive discounts on certain services while wearing their uniform but why would you be required to wear full dress to the mall or anywhere else while on leave?

I don't have a problem with it just like I don't have a problem with overweight or underweight people wearing military gear whether their a civilian or not.

What if it's a reaaaaly cute girl? (not that I am hehe I was just curious)

I wore camo pants my senior year of high school, because all seniors did on spirit days (long story).

Your spirit day sucked. I wore a pink ballerina outfit.

On topic: I got like 98 brown t-shirts that I plan on wearing till exhausted when I get out.

It depends on what area you are in. If you are around a base that has AIT, you will see people in Class B's or class A's off post because they are not allowed to wear civilian clothes yet. In the area where I am it is very common to see it. I also when I go on leave have to travel from and return to Ft. Huachuca in Class A's because that is what we are ordered to do. It depends on your command and what they want.

To address your Edit Tsa'ah. I if I had chosen an differnt MOS would not be in AIT. If I was a truck driver, a infantryman, a clerk, a MP a multitude of different jobs would already be assigned to a unit and preforming my specific task. The job that I am in requires me to be in the training enviroment much longer than most. It is because of that that I dont have a patch, or as you would say have only been through basic training. If you think its insulting or discrediting (as you obviously are trying to do both) it is not going to work very well. I am content with where I am, more over I am happy with what I will be doing, and if that means I have to deal with drill sergeants for a few months longer than most I am fine with that

[Shari]

I don't think I could even do 30 push ups. :(


I'd also like to add that I've never in my life worn camo and never plan to, as I think its stupid unless you're really trying to be "invisable" for hunting or fighting. And the other shirts you were talking about I've never owned because nobody I personally know (that I'd be brave enough to steal clothes from) is in the Army.

Jesae dont worry you are female. You only need to do something like 3 pushps to get into the army and 20 or something like that after your done with basic

[Edited on 11-30-2004 by Dave]

[Latrinsorm]

19 to pass the APFT, possibly less as I don't know how old she is. Women also get 3 extra minutes on the 2 mile.

[Betheny]

I wore a camo jacket. I still have it, though it's up at my mom's house. It's got patches from all the different Air Force bases, training camps, and teams I participated in and went to when I was in ROTC. I also own camo pants and a hat, but only because I wore the entire camo outfit when we would play war games in the woods. At the time, though, my hair was a fire-engine red... and it would not all fit under my hat... so I was basically screwed. I ended up duct taped to a tree the entire day one day. Never had to pee so bad in my life.

[AnticorRifling]

Are these 2 count pushups or 4 count pushups?

[The Korean]

That reminds me of one of the pt sessions I've had with marines. The sgt who was leading yelled, "Ok ladies, we're starting with 100 pushups." All the new people, including me, groaned. "Ok, let's make them 4 count." <Insert mass amounts of WTF's going around>. "I'm kidding, you bunch of pansies! I love fucking with you Navy people."

Two count Anticore. I doubt you could do anymore in a 2 min.

[Chadj]

I'm not reading a 6 page thing on how Arkans hates fat people wearing camo, but I just thought I'd update you all on the fact that I just bought a new shirt that is camo, and it says on the front "You can't see me!". It is very amusing.

[Edited on 12-1-2004 by Chadj]

dude read the shit before you post. I dont care if people wear the stuff, other people do dumbass.

omg, sorry, I thought you started this thread!

I meant Arkans then. My bad. Got the names beside the posts mixed up.

Yea, I usually don't even really try on my PT test except for my run. I freely admit that I suck at distances and have to work hard to maintain my 100 pts in that event. I'm deadly over short distances though.

My specialty is rucking. It's tradition in my PLT for the new Lt's to do at least a 20k "at roger's pace" It's so fucking funny because every new LT has their air of superiority only to then to have it deflate so fast as they get walked into the ground.

well they could pull what our drills did at basic and pack their ruck's with a pillow.

Actually no, I'm not kidding.

Deflate the ego and read what is there. Unless you're quoted, take it as a general "you".

We're talking about PTs, not a uniform. I could not care less about patches and uniforms, what your job is and why you don't have a patch.

If one gets upset about civilians of any physical stature wearing PTs, then one/you have an issue to be resolved. The only thing one has to do in order to "earn" PTs is enlist. That's it.

PTs are sold at surplus stores and a number of different outlets available to civilians.

The "right" to wear PTs is nothing more than having PTs available.

When we go into uniform, that becomes a different issue as a civilian is not likely to have earned the ranks and other decor that a uniform sports.

You had pussy drills (not surprised)

I agree ranger. There were two 11b's that did a real ruck, but the other ones had pillows.

It's not about earning the PTs at all. It's about wearing gym clothes in public and trying to pass them off as something "cool".

Yet you indicated "fat" people and Army PTs. I highly doubt the attempt is to set a fashion trend.

Comfortable clothes are comfortable clothes. When people dress for comfort, it's not usually with fashion in mind, let alone what the shirt says.
