Its been awhile

Its been awhile, and I am haaving a hard time writing anything that does not sound incredibley stupid. I read my wife's blog all the time, and she kicks butt in the writing department. She makes it seem so easy too! Like, just put words down on the screen and BAM! you have a great composition. I on the other hand, struggle without using pictures to illustrate.

Many people know how a soldier looks. If you are by the University of Utah near lunch time, you may see a  few dressed in there tan boots and there matching pants and shirts. There are a few common practices in the ACU uniform that most are not aware of.

Thank you Mr. Joe Snuffy for modeling the uniform for me

A. Carry a memo pad here, just in case your OIC/NCOIC starts rattling off random to do lists
B. Quick reach to your Challenge coin, for when your buddies want a drink.
C. This one is the awkward one, you know in the WWII movies when someone is dying and the give their best friend a letter to give to his wife. Place that letter in this pocket, along with your personals (wallet)
D. Pens. Three of them, if you have to read and correct memos you better have a red pen, all others have a black pen.
E. Your Secret badges clipped here when not in use.
F. Your Safety reflective belt is rolled up here, for easy access when you are walking around base after dark.
