hellfish Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd be so embarrassed to wear that thing... "Army Strong" bull****. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes, she should take off the shirt. Please post picture when she does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMC Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 It's for wear under interceptor body armor so no one gets to see the Army Strong logo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellfish Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I know, but the fact that it's there... *shudder* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think the logo is just because the picture is for promotional purposes. The issue one will probably be blank or just have ARMY on it like the PT uniform. Or have they stuck ads on that too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Ruddy Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 There's something about that shirt that I like, I just can't put my fingers on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 At least it isn't "Army of One" anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 She's sort of looks like one of the rebels from The Matrix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoxSpartana Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Why can't they just go back to Be All You can Be? Army of One and "Army Strong" are both terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Doesn't "be all you can be" sound awfully pessimistic to an angsty teenager? I think they should adopt the slogan "Guns don't kill people - US Army does." Or perhaps not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderbamsen Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Well, if the US Army keeps issuing tight shirts to their female personnel, recruiting slogans are probably irrelevant anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civdiv Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I would think that sloped glacias would double the effective thickness of the SAPI plates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 "I would think that sloped glacias would double the effective thickness of the SAPI plates." ...plus modern body armor uses the soft-&-squishy parts of the body as an aid in absorbing and dissipating the energy of the impacting round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yeah, this has been in development for quite a while. It makes sense, though it looks ridiculous with the body armor off. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hmmm... I can just hear it now.... "Does this make my arms look fat? It does, doesn't it?" And if that is said in front of a male officer, superior or not, he'd better say "no, of course it doesn't". I don't have to be in the military to know what the standard protocal is for such a combat operation! Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severin Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Army of One = Dumbest Slogan Ever I can't tell you how many times I heard "Hey, Battle, it looks like we got an Army of One over here!" in basic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I like the one from the 80s. IIRC: "We kill more people before 9 AM than most countries kill all day." Or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew H. Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Originally posted by Vanir Ausf B: "We kill more people before 9 AM than most countries kill all day." I did too - but apparently emphasizing that you get up *really early* doesn't send the Youth of America beating down the recruiter's door. Kids these days... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
