...it ain't just team rooms.

You can't even deploy to OEF to hide from the tattoo cameras.

we were supposed to show up for a PAI the other week in skivvies to be inspected. I simply said: "Ain't gonna do it".
Got all the reasons/rationale as to "why" it was being done. I said "I have no tatoos and if i show up with one at my next duty station - assuming there IS a next duty station I'll take the hit".

Kind of stumped them. We are free men. I don't need to get naked in front of someone to prove what I told them is true. If my word as an Officer/NCO isn't good enough, guess its time to find another line of work.

Didn't have to get naked and be oggled BTW.

Wish I was as vociferous back in the early /90's when they were making all white males get naked and searched for signs of racist tats. Black guys/hispanics didn't have to. kind of pissed me off.

Good for you......

I did the same and told them that it would be on the 6 pm news if they stripped me to do it. Guess what .... They scratched their heads and went away... I figured they would drag me in-front of the CG and order me which I was going to drop trowel and say do you see anything..... Just wait until the rechecks after they review the records....
