Pockets

Last night the BN had officers call, one of the comments was about being in the right uniform and wearing it correctly. One of the rules in the Army, is that your hands can't be in your pockets. The waist pockets, are for? Of Course putting your hands in, its comfortable and casual, but lets remember the Army doesn't care about you being comfortable or casual, They want you to be tough, to be hardcore, so that nothing effects you. Nothing.

So what do you put in your pockets?

I usually don't put anything in my waist pockets, because i don't like the buldge in my front pockts, its just uncomfortable, but I love to put my hands in my pockets, and shit here I am stuck for a year, not being able to put my hands in my pockets.

I do think the invention of cargo pockets, are freaking sweet. I can really carry my life in these, wallet, phone, camera, keys, and of course mr. graves.

In the army, i always have cargo pockets, so this is an amazing thing, that well it may make up for me not being able to have my hands in my front waist pockets. The more I think about it, it really can't not replace it, not at all. In the army cargo pockets i carry my moleskin tablet, a knife, and sometimes my camera. There are all kinds of fun pockets on the jacket for my phone, wallet, and camera.

Pockets, Pockets, Pockets, one of those beloved creations, that we would be lost if we didn't have a place other than our neck to hold our stuff.
