What is the whole issue with not being able to wear your Army Combat Shirt unless on patrol? And with not being able to bring them back from Iraq?

Yup, I do. I just wanna know why no one can use them other than on patrol, or bring them home

My WAG? some E9 has a Hair up his ass about Troopies wearing them for everyday use.


It's designed for Patrol usage, not INside the wire work. You would rapidly have every REMF/Pogue/FOBBIT in the Iraqi Theater using them, and a shortage of them for Combat Units to use.

Hell, I agree with him....

Heh, they ALREADY do. And the current Bde that is around me must have collected up every fatbody hiding out and brought them with. Makes it even worse.
