Ahh, this thread has turned out even better than I had imagined!
Thanks for the comedy, guys!
Matt, about me doing those things in the past, Yes I did! That's my point about this stuff. All of it is cool to a certain extent. Like society, trends develope in AA. One guy buys a weesatch, others like it and buy the same. It's not wrong, just funny. Everyone has their quirks.
But seriously, BLACKHAWK! is ok now!
Bottom line, don't do what others do just because they do it. Like Dave said - DO WHAT WORKS! You see, the fashion police and functionality police have a joint task force called Operational Detachment - Charlie ("C" for cool). If you get a ticket for wearing a TAC Force vest, but you got it for 10 bucks and it works fine for you, then ODC will pay the fine and go to gear school for you!
