Truth. I'm ok with it for the dress uniform though.

Just because assholes can't polish stuff doesn't mean we should accept shitty boots. 12 million we spent and now we have to develop something else? Bullshit.
Agreed again. Only thing I like about the ACU over the BDU is the calf pocket on the pants.

I can acquiesce to that, preferable to the cunt caps. I still have my old one issued to me in BCT, along with my original green pickle suit.

I don't think I even have a cunt cap anymore...
Have my original greens (not even close to fitting) and then my current sized greens (with 6's on them, not dropping 'em down to my current 5)
ASU's are getting altered as we speak. Got lucky and got them ordered before I went AGR, so I didn't have to pay for them, and the unit is being nice (since it took forever to get them) and covering the alterations as well!

HF is the spectrum between 3 and 30 MHz for those just tuning in

1/8 wave kinda for some frequencies though stunted to all hell without a counterpoise. Damn inefficient. At 20 watts with one of those, you're lucky if you're getting a couple watts to actually radiate you're lucky

You were probably better off with the speaker wire though depending on the frequencies you're working on, you may have been warming the clouds above you w/NVIS if you didn't have any height!

The have been Ham ops involved for years as part of the MARS programs. SatCom was just a natural progression.

Guess what my hobby is lol

We need to look towards some foreign armed services for uniform inspiration. Let us wear some fucking shorts! T-shirts with rank/name on them? Sure! Morale increased 500%.

You need to go back over to Cycleforums and look up some of the pics of female Israeli military members, posted by a certain member.

...or coveralls as a uniform for maintenance, not just authorized in the industrial area, but an actual not bullshit uniform...
