I had a 1sgt who liked to see who had worn, ratty BDUs on.
He'd open ranks and walk through formation looking for the holes that you'd get at the upper corners of your pockets when they got too worn.
Walked up behind me once and I felt him stick a few fingers into my pocket like he was some kind of touchy uncle, and then RIPPP that pocket came half off. He just laughed and walked on, looking for more victims.
They'd mention the clothing allowance all of the time and all I remember thinking was "Shiiiit....Class Six got that money a while ago, LOL"
