This Is Fun Pt 3: This Time It's Personal! (possibly NSFW)

I've never heard about that one.  What's the basis?  You're not as much at the ready?

Was wondering that as well and came to the same conclusion. Or perhaps it pooches out the pockets and makes them harder to iron?

My father kept telling me that as a child.  I never understood why.  I guess he was just keeping in practice for his airmen.

I believe there is a time for strict uniform regs, when one should be particular about every single detail. That time where you wear your Class A or dress uniform.  I've learned over the years that uniformity, at least in the Corps, is a psychological subjugation ploy.
The general idea for ridiculous rules like hands in pockets is conditioning subordinates to conform and accept commands even over the most trivial of matters.

This isn't leadership. Only boots and incompetent amateurs would ever think that because someone wears the uniform to the letter, they will be effective in the art of killing other human beings.

Tactical necessity trumps uniformity. Our so called leaders adherence to regulation and doctrine will be our undoing.

When I was in the Marines, we were out in the field, freezing our butts off in January in Korea. The Battalion Commander drove by and saw Marines standing around with their hands in their pockets and their black beenies on. I was the Sq Ldr. Yes, I know it was training. But I made sure people didnt have t-shirts wrapped around their heads or anything stupid like that.
I figured, "OK, we all have the same uniform, all my guys have their "watch caps". We all had those lame-ass 1990s green knit gloves that do nothing but make your hands colder. Guys started putting their hands in their pockets. Hell......so did I!

I got pulled aside by the Battalion Sgt Major and told I was letting my Marines take advantage of me and that strict enforcement of standards in the field was a test of combat leadership. No mention of the fact that my guys were squared away, fighting positions text book, heavy guns in place with range cards done.

My fellow Vets will understand this

Working in a Military Treatment Facility, we often sent our new medical technicians in search of a box of Fallopian tubes for the ER.  Hilarity was guaranteed to ensue as they went from department to department.

If they brought you some female Privates would that've counted?

After a Delta launch a couple of months ago they sent all the LTs out to do booster recovery. They armed them with fluorescent vests and binoculars and sent them out to the beach where they spent a couple of hours running around looking for a booster floating in the ocean. The FGOs thought it was hilarious. Things are so different at this base.

Another one for my Vets. One of the most asinine rules in the Armed Forces (At least in the Army & Marines), is the no hands in pockets rule.

In Korea during cold weather training? Fuck you man, no hands in pockets.

There is a scene in a Few Good Men that has way more significance to me, now.

[Bullwinkle]

I stared at this for 10 minutes before I finally noticed that.

Care to save me 10 minutes?

It's one of those "still photos with an animated element" images. In this case, it is the water.

That's it? Good thing I used those 10 minutes for something else.

Exactly.  You really have to watch the whole video to get the thing with the image, though.
