Before they changed the damn regs, and made it so base security had to wear the super ****ing thick "aqua-fladge", I used to rock some Altama EXOspeed boots with my jungle BDUs.
It was like wearing sneakers, plus it get ****ing hot down here in the swamp and these bastards breathe like no one's business. I also wore then when I had to wear the gay *** utilities.
Like I said, sneakers with a zipper on the side.
For socks... I wore white New Balance synthetic blow the ankle socks, even on runs.
For holsters (I wore a normal nylon "web belt" style duty belt) I want to say it was an Uncle Mike's cross-harness shoulder holster
and a Blackhawk Omega IV Elite
.
Officer buddy of mine borrowed the shoulder holster, so I haven't seen it since about '05.
Mods I've done to uniforms: I've sewn the corners of the pockets in all my BDUs to the pant legs (they always pissed me off), but I left the stupid draw strings. At one point in time, I was considering altering the waists on the pants to get my exact size, because I hated the pull tabs... but they eventually replaced the pull tabs with elastic waistbands. I hated those worse.
Range Gear: I got this crazy thing after I saw it in a ar-15 mag. I don't remember where I got it or who makes it. I can't even find the receipt, but I remember some crazy old Japanese dude who wrote for the magazine designed it.
This is my bandoleer, with 3 fast-mags on it. Have yet to use it.
A set of Howard Leight electronic ear thingamabobs.
Invicta Russian Dive Watch (good down to a hundred meters)
My awesome belts from when I was in. Flag one says "plankowner". It means I built that ****. Blue one says "Scooba Steve".
My favorite shirts. I wear them. They are real.
I am currently drinking
like right damn now.
