Unhappy

Dammit.

If I were not leaving so soon I would place an order as well. Since I seriously doubt I can wear any of it at SFAS, although I may need to start a thread in the ISOFAC for clarification, I guess I will hold off for now.

If you make it through the training, there's life beyond the Q, remember.

And if it you don't make it through the Q, they can bury you in your 5.11s after The Reaper and I get through with you.

Damn, I swear I cant win for losing.

I seem to be running a close second to Sacamuelas here lately.

Saca, pass the salt. This Redwing is a bit bland.

I'll take the heat off you Crip!! LOL

Three Questions for the knowledgeable:

1- Do the academy or tactical short models have belt loops sufficient for a sturdy leather belt ? From the pics, it looks like it has an elastic waist with no belt loops or very few of them. I carry IWB so I need a pair short that allows for a belt. Suggestions?

2. I assume that a 43 chest coat should order a XL vest if going to carry concealed underneath?

3. Which of the two shorts are longer?

My shorts are the Tactical type and My Blackhawk 1.75" instructor belt fits just fine. I believe that the Academy shorts are shorter.

I don't want to get a pair of shorts that look like I was a member of SOLID's favorite 80's group WHAM!!! I gonna have to have FAITH that you guys will tell me the correct information and "wake me up" before I go make a bad decision
Crip:

I have spoken with G Company today and they would like for you to report to SFAS in 5.11 tactical shorts and a Polo Shirt. Something about treating you like the pool boy they caught at therir house, or something like that.

Sac:

1. Maybe my eyes are worse than I thought, but every pair I see seem to have belt loops just adjacent to the closing snap. I suspect that they are the same as the tactical pants, and have fewer, but wider loops than regular slacks. I am currently wearing mine with a 1.75" Kramer Horsehide belt holding up my pants and a Para P12 in a Kramer MSP Horsehide holster.

2. You may be GTG with a Large, I am a 46 jacket and need at least an XL, if not a XXL. According to their size chart, you should be in a Large, at the most.

3. If you went to the 511tactical.com web site and did a little research, you would discover that the respective size panels list the Tactical Short at a 9" inseam, and the Bluewater Short at a 6.5" inseam. Assuming that your wife/Mom do not buy all of your clothes for you, which do you think is longer?

Seriously, I would recommend that you look at the web site and visit a local store that carries 5.11 gear and try them on. How far are you from Ft. Polk? There has to be something of value around that place.

I think he just didn't realize what I meant when I said that I had some friends who wanted to order some 5.11 stuff. My only response was,"Go Big or Go Home"
