Default Grenade rings and dank

John
Yr forgetting the Dr Grabow YelloBole pipe stem sticking out of the left shirt pocket and the suspicious bulge on the leg perhaps hidden by a pistol.
Its been known to happen!!

I don't remember writing anything on my lrrp boonie hat, probably couldn't have seen it for the dirt. The superstition was never to wash them and they'd get strong enough to walk away by themselves
These woud be those cammo flop hats with the brim cut down to an inch or two, the fringes raggedy (better cammo) and they would be some dank, let me tell you.We'd put in a grnade pin (ring) or 2 for luck
We'd wear them all the time, even in the rear wearing "civvies" which meant regular combat fatigues (it was our little joke) because we didn't want people to think we were in the 4th Div. (sorry Ron & Robert but it was true)
Where we'd see the writing all the time would be on helmet covers--I mean some people put their whole life story including religion on theirs. (a lot of the days were boring)
I think I had something like "This Really Sucks!!" on mine, probably why I didn't make sgt
See ya in Washgtn John
