It's supposed to snow this weekend.
Yuck.
I understand that there are places in this country where it has already snowed this winter, but for the area of Washington that I live in, this is too soon. Waaaaay too soon, if you ask me.
I'm not a fan of being cold. At all. In fact, I'm a huge baby about being cold. I'd rather be hot any day than freeze. It seems like everything the Army issues for cold weather was not actually tested in cold weather. Or maybe a big fat guy with lots of fat cells to insulate him was chosen to test the gear. But most likely it was a big fat guy testing it in Florida who also zero fashion sense. Clearly (as pictured below) the Army needs a visit from Clinton and Stacey from What Not To Wear.
Not only is it a hideous PT uniform, it's also not warm. And wearing shorts under those pants is a huge pain in the ass because the shorts ride up so it's like wearing a diaper made out of a wind breaker. The pants also run about 6 sizes too small so if you're not careful, they can turn into PT leggings-- which are never long enough no matter what size you get. The long sleeve t-shirt worn under the jacket is actually a turtle neck. Who wants to run in a turtle neck? Who wants to leave the house PERIOD in a turtle neck?
Winter PTs need some serious help.
I want to know who in the heck is going to have a "motivated smile" when your trying to run in that crap. Alas...at least the PT belt gives you that "pop of color." LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh, hey, it's the uniform they have us wear because it's fifty degrees out and our command is an even bigger baby about the cold than you are. Seriously, it's still sixty out and they're making us wear the winter PTs.
ReplyDeleteSee, it could be worse. You could be wearing winter PTs and sweating your ass off 'cause it's way too hot for 'em in addition to all the myriad wonders that are inherent to the uniform itself.
We wait until November 1st to start wearing winter PTs. Regardless of the weather. The calendar dates makes more sense...
ReplyDeleteI love the "You're cold because the calender says you're cold" logic.
