Hook and loop fastener is used on almost all the pockets except for the hand warmers. Also to affix patches for rank, branch, name, unit and combat patch.Velcro sounds interesting. Exactly where do they use it?
For shining boots when short on time, we'd do a quick buff with polish and a brush and then use liquid floor wax polish. Wipe it on, a little wipe with a dry rag, and instant shine. This was typically just used on the inspection set of boots since those hardly ever got worn.
Most of us just sew everything on except the sleeves. The only things really pinned on are ranks on the pc(cover/patrol cap) or skill badges.So that means no one ever needs to reach in their pocket to retrieve something in a situation where you might not want to make any noise?
From an operating in the field perspective, this just sounds stupid. Or am I missing something?
We didn't have all those cool patches when I was in. We just used metal pins on the collars to attach rank chevrons. The USMC on the pocket was an iron on thing.
If I answer people will think I'm a (more) horrible person.

I just took a 5 part test by the university of Cambridge. It took me all day since I had to keep taking breaks for work. This test is designed to see where you stand with empathy and systemizing, then have you listen to and give feedback to different types of music for a study they're doing on how music affects those two personality traits.
I BOMBED my score for being empathetic. I got lower than the average extremely low range. I did pretty good with systemizing though. Got higher than the average extremely high range. I put this in here because I can remember when I used to be more empathetic...and I remember the time frame in the military when I felt it slowly go away.
Anyone else have this happen?

It started as a Facebook link talking about certain mentalities like certain music, so click a link and see if you match up. Next thing I know, I'm taking a 5 part quiz. Went in expecting one thing, wound up doing something else.Is there a specific reason you took this test?
Yea, I guess I do.Maybe, if you transferred it to mostly small children and animals.
Marines do it too, but not nearly as much as army and air force. And these are on the normal duty uniform not a dress uniform. Like seen below.

Grasshopperglock to answer your question I was a 63J a specailized ordinance mechanic the mos if I remember correctly no longer exists. sorry about getting off track with my kegerator thread. When Deployed my mos was not needed so I was attached to 1st and 2nd mardiv for patrols and convoy security.
I'm not a fan of the man by any stretch, but spreading lies is what the other side does.
