February 27, 201213 yr A 130+ dB alarm is louder than an unloaded M9. Not sure where you're at, we're most def not walking around unloaded.
February 27, 201213 yr Not sure where you're at, we're most def not walking around unloaded. At a desk. 6-9 feet from a GO. In a camp full of other GOs. FML. Edited February 27, 201213 yr by Shortbus
February 27, 201213 yr At a desk. 6-9 feet from a GO. In a camp full of other GOs. FML. You can either be working for a GO unloaded, or out here needing your weapon everywhere you go. It blows either way.
September 12, 201213 yr I see the Army has its priorities straight: ROTC Returns to Harvard Hell, when I was in Korea, the Army guys were wearing their orange vests.....while running on a treadmill inside the gym. WOW! Cheers, Cap-10
September 12, 201213 yr Hell, when I was in Korea, the Army guys were wearing their orange vests.....while running on a treadmill inside the gym. WOW! Yep, still happening. I was encouraged, however, to hear my Army E-3 classmate at my last assignment refer to his reflective belt as a "PT belt." It seemed like he was being taught it was specifically (and only) for his 0500 runs down the middle of the road in the pitch dark -- a viable use for a reflective belt in my opinion.
September 12, 201213 yr They sell custom RFBs in Songtan...you can get yours with your "call sign" and squadron on it!!!1!!!1!!

In 8 years in the Army I only heard it called a PT Belt. I don't think I even heard the term "Reflective Belt" until I started hanging around AF forums. Not that that matters at all. What does matter a tiny bit was in the Army at least in my experience, the only time I ever saw PT belts was during PT on the road. Not in the gym, not in the PX, not in the chow hall, definitely not while wearing ACU's!
September 12, 201213 yr At Ft Rucker, they wore it everywhere in PT gear. In the gym, on the road, in the class six, etc.
September 12, 201213 yr To be fair I was in the reserves and spent most of my time at Fot McCoy and Camp Bullis, which are both pretty "rural". I guess at the larger AD bases it would probably be worse. Edited September 12, 201213 yr by spaceman
September 13, 201213 yr It's part of the PT uniform, so whenever you are in PTs you wear the PT belt. Pretty much the only time you will see a soldier not in PTs wearing one is if they are riding a motorcycle.
November 10, 201213 yr Spanish prostitutes ordered to wear reflective vests for their own safety... https://www.telegraph...own-safety.html Edited November 10, 201213 yr by LUGNUT
November 13, 201213 yr I haven't been and nobody's stopped me. I'm not really sure if it's required or not; regardless, I don't care. That said, I really haven't ventured far outside the concrete barrier lined area of the CC in civies.
November 13, 201213 yr As silly as the reflector belts are, I am just happy to be in civilian clothes.
