    Default Ummm Uniform Changes

    After all the discussions on here about equipment carried in Afghanistan this little change left me a bit speechless.

    Taking on the Taliban in pink boxer shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops is not regarded as conventional military uniform.
    Especially when the shorts declare 'I love New York'.
    However when Zachary Boyd, 19, was woken up by a Taliban assault on his platoon he only had time to grab his weapon, helmet and body armour before springing into action.
    I'm sure many others could come up with cheekier responses.

    Thought about putting this under the "Social Club" so Mods move if you see fit.

    Exchange with an Iraqi soldier during FID:

    Why did you not clear your corner?

    Because we are on a base and it is secure.
