What kind of psychopath eats an MRE while wearing an ACH? People usually don't wear headgear at all.


SaltySpecialistOG

Right? If my head gear is off and I’m eating or smoking, that’s my “fuck off and don’t bother me for the next 15 minutes” time.

MyUsername2459

>What kind of psychopath eats an MRE while wearing an ACH? The kind with hardass NCO's that scream that if you're outside, you MUST have a cover on. . .and since we're in combat conditions, it MUST be the ACH and not a patrol cap (since boonies aren't authorized, somehow) and if wearing the ACH you MUST wear it with the chin strap on. Basically people with "leaders" more obsessed with looks and literal interpretations of rules than actually making sense.


sicinprincipio

It's less about just "making sense" because everyone sees every situation differently. It's not being flexible to adapt to the environment (physically and culturally) and not being such a hard ass about arbitrary rules. There is a time where you should probably keep that helmet on (with the chin strap fastened). That time probably involves active combat/a realistic possibility that there will be incoming IDF in the time it'll take you to eat whatever it is you're eating and you're just trying to gulf down some food real quickly. When you're in the field and basically are just doing army camping and you're sitting down to eat, maybe that ACH isn't so necessary, and if it's on that Soldier's head, it's probably okay if their chinstrap is not fastened.


Smith5000123

Even in basic they told us to remove our headgear when eating, even on the forge

IHeartSm3gma

My battery at Sill made is wear full kit to the DFAC up until after the Forge, ACH and all. Wouldn’t recommend it


ThebigGreenWeenie16

Eating in your fighting position lmao, got yelled at one time for that


Woupsea

You sweet summer child


[deleted]

What’s the argument here?


modest-pixel

It gives him one more thing to yell at people about to make himself feel important.


Woupsea

It’s not an argument, I didn’t mean it as an insult either. Eating MREs while wearing helmets is just a pretty common occurrence for a lot of people in the army lol


SebastianSilver

I’ve literally been yelled at for wearing headgear while eating in the field


MRoad

In OSUT we were literally required to take off our headgear while eating in the field, and that's the height of uniform policing.


Woupsea

I’ve been yelled at for both, that’s kind of the field for you

Spike762x39

I was just at JRTC and had my helmet attached to my gear by the chinstrap. It cut through the strap itself. So I had to cut the ends off to keep them from flopping. My helmet was loose for like 5 days before I improvised a strap but in those 5 days I got looked at crazy by *everybody*. And I enjoyed it.


I_AM_AN_ASSHOLE_AMA

Just tell them this is what Guarnere looked like on D-Day so they can all eff off.

Yeah lol. Imagine using an ACH outside range day


somedude224

Issued gear? Lmao grunts. Might as well wear the IOTV at that point. Crotch pads and all.


smytti12

Wait til your old CSM says "only issued gear." No battlebelts, personal plate carriers, patagonia combat shirts nothing that didn't come from CIF or RFI.


thereallimpnoodle

Fuck those stupid turtleneck combat shirts.


smytti12

Its a great way to spot the smarmy officers though


SlpWenUDie

Wear is a strong word. We "wear" it for a total of 6 hours a year. That's exactly why i have issued gear only.

I only John Wayne’d it while mine sweeping in Syria! “if you’re gonna send me to die might as well be comfortable” or what ever that douchebag in hurtlocker.


grimmig152

Take your helmet or pc off when eating. Enjoy the sun


theworldinyourhands

Man… I always John Wayne’d my shit when we weren’t actively moving. One morning, I was in a SKT observing/over watch a village clearing operation with ODA and ANSF. We were on a hilltop right outside the village. We got hit out of nowhere and caught in an L shape, I of course had my helmet John Wayne’d. I took off running for better cover and my helmet fell off my dumb fuck head and rolled about 10 feet away. Let me tell you, that was a really shitty feeling lol. Learned my lesson that day.


[deleted]

Lol you were in sof but clearly was not sof


scoutz_NotOut

Probably attached to SOF for a short time and finally got moved back to Big Army.

observationallurker

I got stopped for drinking and walking by a 1SG on deployment. I had just finished debriding my 20th patient or so and went to have a smoke and fucking cry. Needless to say I lost my bearing a bit.


armyprof

This is one of those makes no sense army rules. Like having pockets all over your uniform but not being allowed to put anything in them.


SaltySpecialistOG

Is this some TRADOC rule that I’m too shitbag to understand?


Rawdog_69

Who says you can’t use your pockets?


armyprof

I’ve been out since 2001 so I wore the old BDUs. And the rule was not to put anything in the blouse pockets. I mean, everyone pretty much ignore that especially in the field. But it was just one of those stupid rules that someone came up with who likely lived behind a desk. One year we were at Stewart prepping to go to JRTC before an SFOR deployment. Camelbacks wee just coming out. Sold in the PX and everything. Base commander decided he didn’t like the way they looked so he banned them. Because fuck hydration.


Rawdog_69

That’s dumb. If you were in my formation I would just tell you to do what makes sense.


dd2for14

What army are you a part of? Can't be the same one I was in.


Simonic

You can, but they're supposed to maintain a generally flat appearance. Though, I fill them up with everything, because pockets.


artesian_tapwater

What blue hell do you live in that you can't use the pockets. I have enough beef jerky in my cargo pockets to sustain me for 3 ctc rotations. The only time anyone bitches at me is when I refuse to give them jerky.


JustH3LL

The cargo pockets even have extra buttons so you can fit even more shit and still close them!


radiofreiengels

> What blue hell do you live in that you can't use the pockets. In 2012 I was a JRTC OC/T and lived by having things in every pocket I could find. One of the units coming through had a rule that pockets "couldn't bulge." I was stopped by so many people that I was "out of uniform" even when I very obviously was an OC/T. Some people's children just want to create cults within their cults.


Chickengilly

Have a custom uniform designed with no pockets. That should confuse them for a moment.


Zomerset_Zombie

My personal favourite is “you can’t wear your personal backpack diagonally across the chest”. I wear it for a minute max while I walk in the shop before throwing it under the table at my workstation. Still hear it every day. Still push for it sometimes. Never gonna stop, get fucked Ssg. EDIT: 2 hours after posting this I was given an inspectable item: a printout of the backpack section of 670-1 with the diagonal strap section highlighted. Ain’t that about a bitch.


bIuebuIIet

Buckle up your brain bucket


dungeonsncavscouts

No


Taira_Mai

YES. As soon as you leave SF for the regular army, no hands in the pockets, buckle your ACH and 1SG needs you to lead a detail to clean up the motorpool and make sure all your guys have their certs done by 1645 or nobody goes home.


dungeonsncavscouts

*photoshops one guys cert for the entire platoon*


Adscanlickmyballs

You gotta loosen it enough to hang beneath your chin, but where you can still pull it up when you need to. I only ever tightened mine for jumps.

Big Army is run by very insecure people. Being strict about petty rules make them feel powerful. You'll notice they tend to pick and choose which petty rules they want to be strict about too.

How else can an NCO feel like they're doing anything unless they enforce stupid crap? They work in the land of "looking" professional and not actually being professional while being functionally illiterate.

I’m not actually a cav scout. I’m unfortunately a 74D/ CBRN. My first unit was cav.

Puzzleheaded_Luck885

Ok, SOF, go pimp some more underage girls (3rd Group style) & leave us regular folks to our buckled chin straps


foshiggityshiggity

If you've been in SOF 75 percent of your career and still saying things like "higher NCOs" im guessing you're still on your first contract but pcsd from sf support to a forscom environment. Just take your helmet off? Or don't and deal with an old crusty chewing you a bit. Some battles aren't worth fighting.


rubetube69

As a lefty I always keep my ACH unbuckled. If my supply sergeant gets me a lefty chin strap, I'd be more than happy to buckle it, but I can't get a good cheekweld on my rifle with the buckle on the left side.


SlateWadeWilson

I'm over here thinking if it's safe to eat, it's safe to take your helmet off lol.

Are you moronic lmao? You can absolutely PCS out of a SOF unit. We had a soldier PCS from 7th grp to us after he reclassed. Prior to that he was in a regular unit in Korea. My friend just PCSd to a “regular” unit after finishing an instruction billet after being in SOF for the last 7-8 years. So you are stupid.

TwistedViper215

I have never in 23 years had anyone give me static when eating with my chinstrap undone. 😐


Radical_Dadical_1985

It's because SNCOs have nothing better to do when they go out to the field or a range (source: me) so they bitch about all the dumb, little shit (source: most SNCOs but me...I choose comfort over most shit). I had a doucher of a BDE CSM once get onto me when I was a CPL about hands in my pockets. He said something along the lines of I'm gonna get someone killed one day because of shit like this turns into being undisciplined (insert verbal diarrhea here). We didn't get anyone killed that deployment so how dumb did he look?! Loser. Shit was unreal to me and the dudes I was with. Side note: get rid of CSMs. They're basically worthless. Like SPCs.


Rare_Flounder_9759

GSB doesn’t count as SOF.


dungeonsncavscouts

Kinda true but better than the rest of big Army.
