Top five list of Stupidest individual military equipment

[35NCO]

The new reflective ACU pattern PT jacket......seriously...why Army, WHY? I am pretty sure someone, somewhere is determined to make us look as ridiculous as possible. I just wish the ACU would go away for good...

One more thing semi-related, Skipping as an exercise on the new PT program. I have to do this twice a week...never thought the war fighter Army would order me to skip around...guess I was wrong!

(I'd love to have an old 3/4T truck though... not fast but that was one tree-climbin' sob - I even saw an old commo shelter for the back of one the other day online somewhere for sale. I'd queue up "Memories...." but it was sung by Barbra Scheissland)

Now back to the junk.
