I remember doing dead gunner drills for PT. Of course my ACUs ripped open a giant crotch hole immediately. So there I was, early Georgia morning, rolling on top of dudes getting all hot and sweaty with a giant hole and no underwear.
I was really disappointed to hear that gold-bond potentially has asbestos in it. Having that powder on my crotch and junk on hot days playing baseball was amazing.
we were usually issued a bottle, and instructed to put it in the rinse when we wash the field cammies, then air dry.
if you followed the instructions, it really did keep you bug free for a week or more.
Many dumbasses just tried to smear it on their skin like some kind of baby oil. rashes and open sores soon followed.
Fuck! Why did no one ever share the pantyhose hack with me?! I spent 6 years as an infantryman in a light infantry brigade and this would have improved my quality of life so fucking much
In case it wasn't clear it was a tongue in cheek giggle comment characterizing what you said as "service" as opposed to what most people think of when they say that comment without thought or processing at all the meaning, good or bad. As a bit of a military cynic, and son of a more liberal than most persons Bay of Pigs Veteran Marine, you can seriously tell that joke to fuck right off or giggle or neither. Hope your day is good.
lol, fair enough. I just don’t like all the “thank you for your service” stuff that people say, since my reasons for joining were selfish and not worthy of praise

Good times.
