Ah - if only you had been enlisted! In my to-do list of blogs to write, I have one to talk about how Army guys dress. When I was enlisted, it was the strangest thing to see how guys would go out. Guys with giant cowboy hats, tight jeans and boots hanging with guys wearing do-rags and pants hanging off their butts. All 11Bs, though.
The other interesting thing - which you will see - is that once guys join the Army, their fashion sense is frozen in time. If they joined in 1998, they will wear whatever was in style then, and they are unlikely to update.

My mother says I'm very handsome.
This is an illustrated blog, or a comic that I'm too lazy to draw all of.
The content on this page is entirely my own and is in no way representative of the official views of the U.S. Department of Defense, The U.S. Army, The Reserve Officers Training Corps, The American University of Beirut, Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority, Inc., or the Executive Board of DragonCon 2006.
If you're a fan (or not), come say hi and maybe you'll be in the next post. Probably not, though.

Oh, I could already totally do one of these for enlisted guys (and may yet). I just thought it might be too mean coming from me.
