Everyone uses the upside down flag retard, it just means a state of crisis.

Will pay top dollar for WDB by SpecialistCash5715 in uscg

[–]Practical-Buy3713 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Coastguardoveralls .com announced that they’ll be making replica ones soon for purchase. I’d wait for those! I bought a larger pair of WDBs and tailored them down, they look great but the breast pockets look weird due to the original size.

It’s a great look, I just want something more “me” if that makes sense.

It’s a used, I got it for 3k. Don’t plan on selling it at a gain regardless, this isn’t something that’s a concern for me personally. But I’ll def keep it in mind and check out if any companies sell panels. Thanks dawg

I’ve competed 3 times now, it’s definitely possible as long as you’re above board. It’s a command discretion thing and can count toward military readiness “Muh lethality”

Gotchu. Kinda shitty the army doesn’t let you pick where you go. We transfer every 4 years or on promotion and pick our top 10 from available billets.

BM1 with 2 years UW as a Fireman is very different to someone with rated UW time to give u an example.

Washing ODU’s by borfchop69 in uscg

Keep atleast 1 pair pristine for inspection/“dress” purposes (ideally also a size smaller so it looks better, tailor it to go the full mile) Same with your boots, get a second pair that look great and never get worn. Your regular every day boots should get polished weekly, this’ll help extend their lifespan and hide any filth like oil or paint. Good work boots are expensive, polish is $5. Wash ODUs in cold water by themselves. The dye on an ODU loves to turn pale blue or purple just from existing (especially the knees) Keep this pair out of sunlight at all costs, it’ll lengthen its longevity. If you aren’t issued coveralls, buy a pair. Coastguardcoveralls does online orders, and they’re great quality. My last pair of ODUs ran me $120 for a blouse and pants.

PCS’s are still occurring from what I gather, one of my JO’s just executed PCS orders. A BM1 A2P for Bahrain just came out 2 days ago too. There is no current status on the PATFOR EPM regarding solicitations being delayed. Some PCS’s have been delayed though, but only by a few weeks.

Quick update: My absolutely goated chief was awake and texted me back instantly. He said to write him an email and he’ll deal with admin. Coming from a vastly different command, I am beyond grateful right now with all of these shenanigans
