There is a reason people say "Think outside the box." The Army's box is about one-meter-square and already filled to the max with stupid. Once you are in SF there is whole 'nother world of experience to search; until you trip over that box once in a while - with unauthorized boots.  |
The ACU is clear evidence of that.
