As he's already there, they might do even worse and send him to Chicago!!!!

Anyway.....GREAT read!
If i was your son, with the reflective belt issue, i would also have fun with it. One night i might put it around my head.
Next night put it around my waist........UNDER my clothes! That way, he's WEARING it, so that will mess with the "Clothing Police". Then when they ask why he's not wearing it, he can pull up his shirt, and with a straight face say "I AM wearing it!"

I'm sorry, but David's saga brought back a not-so-fond memory I must share. He mentioned that his plane trip was 7 miles. Now you would think, and thank goodness it apparently wasn't thought of, that his CO might get the bright idea to take the initiave and walk the 7 miles (good old reliable leather cadillacs). Take it from on expert on little, but an expert on that...

I once trained at a place called the Verona Loop. This is approximately 18 miles from Camp Lejeune, with the town of Jacksonville, NC between the loop and the base. Long story short, see David's blog, no transportation after a week in the loop. About midnight on a day that started the previous midnight in prep for helicopters that never came, followed by six-by's that never came, followed by Gama goats that never.... (see David's story)... CO decides we are going to walk it in. We get to the main gate, and the MP OIC (officer in charge) informs our CO that weapons are not authorized to be carried while on foot in Onslow county, as it makes the civilians nervous, or some such. The oh, so natural (and uniquely military) logic employed to solve the situation? Guessed yet? Make us walk back through town, back to the Verona loop, and await transportation. Of course you know that at around 0900, enroute back to the Verona loop, our convoy passed us heading back to base, didn't think anything about the 100 Marines heading the wrong way and waving at them, etc. I could go on, but I just wanted to share how impressed I am with the fact that nobody made this type of mistake in Afghanistan the other day. :icon_smile:
