Army secretary: PT belts aren’t needed in daylight

[Topkick]

Pretty sure my buddy had those with a 1st CAV patch on it. Thought they were just a PX item. He ETSd in 85 maybe 86

I enlisted in 86. We already had gray sweats but fatbodies still had to wear the yellow suit until they met the standard.

Before the yellow PT belt or the road guard flashlight, the whole uniform was yellow. The yellow uniform came in two sizes...2 big and 2 small.

Shudder... Thanks for the memories... I've had both, too big AND too small!

Yep, I had the gray sweats as well and man-diaper shorts. Wish I still had a few of the T-shirts though. My buddies track suit must’ve been a PX special
