    Is chivalry dead?

    You hit the nail right on the head with your post. I must agree. I also think that most people today, seem to know all of their rights but none of their responsibilities. I like to shower and dress/look nice when I leave the house partly because of me, but also because I wouldn't want to...

    I don't know if this belongs here but,

    If I may chime in here, as a man. My wife and I were apart for 18 months (less three, 2-week periods we spent together). However, we were already married, and we had a two year old and a two month old when I left. We were living here in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. I spent six months...

    Article: Why do People Hate Hipsters

    Wow, Johnnyloco, very astute observation. I will probably have to read it twice to digest all the observations.

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    Very interesting. I don't dress vintage per se, but I am vintage inspired. I've never had a problem in Texas (small or large towns) or the Twin Cities where I live now. Then again I'm 6ft 3in tall and 230 lbs. When I must, I can walk like the biggest, baddest, m*f* in the valley. But...

    Afghanistan Brown

    This is kind of interesting: Several camouflage patterns were evaluated by the U.S. Army in 2009. Six such patterns are shown above, where members of the camouflage assessment team wearing the different camo patterns they evaluated. From left: AOR II, UCP, MultiCam, Desert Brush, UCP-Delta...

    Afghanistan Brown

    My vote for the OD color. My understanding is that the ACU uniform is a 60% solution. It is designed to give you 60% camo in any environment. Since that is the case, we should probably go back to the OD green. I think with ACU's and OD green, they both seem to collect the dirt of the...

    Wearing Suits to Lodge

    Seersucker suits are classic in the south, and I consider them a southern necessity. I would buy a couple of linen suits as well. If they are ribbing you on the suit, just be witty and funny in a retort. My wife and I recently joined a new shul (synagogue), and I was introduced to a man in a...

    Afghanistan Brown

    I'm for going back to plain OD Green, maybe the stuff from the 1950's. Almost all the GI's I know hate the stuff.

    I don't care what color palette they use; just please, please get rid of the horrible ACU color and pattern!

    Announcement

    No, I'm not having a baby, but the wife and I are trying! ;) I recently had my screen name changed. I was SlyGi: because I'm a GI and I had shaved my head. Well, it's been some time and I have grown my hair back, well, most of it. Anyway, SlyGi just didn't seem to fit anymore. I asked the...

    Could you survive?

    I haven't really thought about surviving in 1937. I think that I'll have to ponder that a while until I can make a coherent reply. However, I have been planning for the Zombie Apocalypse for quite some time. I think I could survive the ZA, at least for a while, because I have a plan...

    Were Servicepeople Allowed to Keep It?

    I haven't E.T.S.d yet, so I'm not sure. But, I believe you are allowed to keep anything that touches your skin. Any sort of TA-50, or I.O.T.V. or something that other soldiers can use, you turn in. That seems to be the way it goes when you move from one unit to the next. All that being...

    Sport Coat

    Wow, very good point. I just thought that the models were wearing the jackets that way. I'm looking for something classic, relaxed, and maybe something that Ernest Hemingway would wear. I've checked my local J.C. Penny's in Burnsville. I guess I may have to go to the Mall of America. Ewwwwww

    Sport Coat

    Ok, so I'm thinking about getting a sport coat for summer. I'm thinking of something simple, something that will hopefully not make me sweat during the day, and that has an inside pocket that I can put my coat wallet in. I'm thinking of something khaki, but I'm not sure because I wear...

    Interests of other lifetimes.

    History, History, History I am also very interested in the 1850's to about the 1870's in the U.S. More specifically, the War of Northern Aggression. I have a great-great-grandfather (and his brother) on my father's side that fought for the losing side in that conflict. On my mother's side, I...
