Mr. Abby has recently been participating in some sort of "continued training" in military martial arts. The Marine Corps, in all its wisdom, decided a few years ago to redo its hand-to-hand combat program. Part of the new idea is "belts." Because Marines don't have enough to be competitive about.
This actually kind of smells of "Army" to me. I mean, when I think, "meaningless variation in basic uniform accessories" I think Army. Perhaps we'll talk more about this later.
But today we're talking about the Marine Corps and its "belts." Mr. Abby came home today qualified to wear a "gray belt."
Which I took one look at and said, "Oh! That's the Army's new foliage green!"
Pow! His head exploded.
"It's gray!!!!"
Yeah. Whatever. Foliage green.
It amused me, but I bet he's at work right now, standing next to some poor Soldier, comparing his belt to their ACUs.
