so i recently bought a army German jacket (navy deck jacket) from a kind of vintage army store down camden… inside it said KÖHLE i want to know if that means its an actual jacket from the time? or just a replica because i also had bought a army shirt that was a replica from the 1988
i looked at other sizes for this jacket.. because well im a girl and theyre made for men.. and other said "made in 1997" meaning its a replica though this one doesnt.. is it real? or is it just fake?.. to be honest im not really bothered whether it is real or fake.. im just curious (:
the jacket looks like :

replica, if it was real you’d expect to pay hundreds of pounds for it, maybe even thousands.
So i recently purchased a pair of military/combat boots from the Army and Navy store. I figured I would get a 6, but they run HUGE, so i had to get a 4…a 5 kept slipping off when i walked.
So, i wore them for the 2nd time, this time for an entire day *or so i tried* and i couldnt take it anymore and had to take a cab home from school…
now i have 2 little blisters on the back of my heel…
is there ANYTHING I can do to make them more comfortable for me?
They didnt start off bad at all…but I guess the more I walked…the more it rubbed, and the worst it got…
I did have thick socks (not tube socks though)…
I know you cant stretch them length wise…(right?) so what would I have to do?
I keep reading that you have to just break into them…wear them with lots of thick socks around the house, but to be honest I’m a little scared to even put them on!! i’m stuck wearing UGGS until the back of my heal heels…:/
suggestions?!? I LOVE these boots…
why bother answering if you’re not even answering my question….
lames.
they’re not REAL military boots. I can’t go to war in them, losers.
the’yre just like TIMBERLANDS only thicker.
both of your answers make me want to smack the 2 of you upside ya head. geez.
thanks for NOTHING
Why are you wearing military boots?
Im have been looking all over for a shirt EXACTLY like this one in medium or small. http://www.sydesigninc.com/blog/uploaded_images/SHAD-MS12_V1-793178.jpg Im not looking to spend over 50 and I have checked everywhere. Urban Outfitters doesn’t have it, army/navy online stores look really shady or only have it in XXXL. And everywhere else i’ve checked has it for 70-100 dollars when i know this can be easily bough in a goodwill for a lot less. Does anyone know any good online shops i can get a shirt remotely similar??
Old Navy has something similar for $15 but it has only one pocket.

That pattern can be chosen at Amazon.com for $49.50

My brother served 4 years in the USMC. He went to Iraq and got out when he finished his 4 years in 2006 with an Honorable Discharge. He has since joined the anti-war movement. He was photographed wearing anti-war clothing with camos (wasn’t even his camos but his buddy’s who passed away and his parents gave them to my brother to wear to protests because they believed that what their son would have done if he was to still be alive) nametag ripped off, unit badges and USMC tag still on there. wore the jacket with jeans and an anti-war tshirt underneath, it did not look like a uniform!
Someone recognized him from an anti-war protest photo that made tons of newspapers (including the NYT and washington post) and now the USMC is threating to change his discharge to less than honorable just cause he was wearing camos. Can they do that?
They sell the same jackets in all army and navy stores and even seen them at the goodwill. Isnt he a civilian now and is able to practice his free speech?
Hmm.
Your brother still has time remaining in the IRR, I would presume, so I suppose they could technically change it.
Seems like they wouldn’t bother with it, however.
Tell your brother he is a dirt-bag for me, though, ok? Thanks.
It took the shop assistant ages to work out how much I owed the store, all because her computer calculator had given up the ghost.
I do enjoy solving some of the basic questions regarding physics. Not the professor sort of stuff with a chalkboard full of figures and symbols, equalling something that needs another chalkboard to explain the answer.
No, I mean the sort of questions that our children would ask us so that they could complete their homework, and hopefully show that their dad or mom are not the thickies they at think they are.
I am not saying that we have to give them the answers to their never-ending questions, but we can help them to help themselves to solve the problem.
When I was at school in the 1930’s, things were so much simpler. If the problem to be solved was to take seven away from ten, I would hold up ten fingers, chop off seven and what I had left on my blooded hands was the answer. Mind you it did limit my calculations somewhat. But you see what I mean about solving problems. I solved most of my arithmetic by using the fingers of the kid who sat next to me. I suppose that I could have used my toes but that would have put paid to my soccer games.
Of course I am only kidding about the finger chopping, I retained all of mine, it was the other kid who had to explain to his mom why he could not hold his spoon when the rice pudding was served.
When I advance sufficiently to be able to put the letters and figures onto paper (Not chalk and slate) things became easier. Someone though has to put a spanner in the works, my teacher wanted us to show how we had worked out a problem by showing it in the margin of the page. I had to have six books for the working out and one for the answer. I was not dumb mind you, no, I wrote somewhat in large printing, I could not do it in “running” writing then, well I was only twelve.
We did not have any fancy school uniforms, and as the war was still being fought some kids came to school looking like dwarfs in Hitler’s army. My poor old mom had to go the Army and Navy stores to get my clothing. Mind you I did not really mind, but after a while I got a bit fed up having to go to school looking like a Japanese Rear Admiral.
Anyway I am getting away from the subject somewhat. Kids of today are on the whole pretty smart, mind you take away their calculators and they are pretty well useless at doing sums. But you cannot blame them; society has to take some of the responsibility, as do their parents, no forget the parents, some are worse than their children.
Take my grandson, a lovely lad, six years of age and bright as a button, well sometimes. Ask him how long it takes the light from the sun to reach the earth; he was say “Eight minutes poppy”. What is lightning? Out will come the answer. What is gravity? Another right answer.
Mind you the little perisher had us all the other day in the local library. I asked him how many arms an octopus had. He came right out with the answer. “Poppy, an octopus has eight testicles”.
I went across and picked up the lady librarian who was on the floor rolling in uncontrollable laughter. I thought that it was time to hand my little Einstein over to his grandmother.
Ah hedifhicashun, it’s a great learnin’ thing.
I would really love to see you do a complete book of this. It is the kind of thing the world needs in order to laugh at itself and stop fighting with everyone else.
I want to see if I can dress up as the flight pilot from the movie Top Gun but i wasn’t sure what her name was. Can someone please tell me what her name was and sort of how she dressed and if she flew a jet. If she did. Do you think i can dress up as a fighter pilot and add her name on a fighter pilots suit. I was thinking of looking into the local army navy store a few towns over from where i live. I think they sell suits. Any other ideas for an 80s character please let me know. Was scooby doo created in the 80? I was born in 1983 so im not really familiar with all the characters. I know like punky brewster was around my time i think? thank you all.
Her real name is Kelly McGillis and she played Charlie Blackwood and she was a civilian instructor! She didnt fly a jet in the film but i think because she was an instructor she was probably trained to! Brilliant film!! Hope you have a good night at your party!!!
go on the offensive, or the defensive and take up the higher ground? where can i get pounds of dessicant? the army navy store here has run out. i have close to 25,000 rounds of ‘06, 30,000 of .45’s and 2000 for my .300 win mag and lots lots and lots more of 12ga rnds. thank god for my dillion press, even with it my arms got tired
that’s why i got a dillion press blue collar, so i can rest awhile. do you have any idea how long it would have taken with an R.C.B.S. press? and no, not all are reloads
hey dusk, you want to try standing out at 300 yards and seeing what my wal-mart .300 will do? i didn’t think so, besides, how do you know what kind of weapons i have? clue…there’s 64 total
You create your own reality. It is done unto as you believe Mathew 29:29 so the shit i snot hitting any fan in my peaceful happy world where God gave me arms to open up & love others & hug with. You have denied God so take your articial arms & do what you want with them.

I have a field pack large internal frame spo100 pack that i got from the army navy store. i was packing it and noticed two random straps on both sides of the shoulder rest. i usually put my tent inside the part that covers your gear and strap that down but putting it near those straps seems like it would work better.anyone know what thonse straps are used for?
Military equipment does not have random fittings.
Those are for fixing things. Whatever you want to fix.
Tents normally go outside a pack, in a waterproof cover if one isn’t supplied with the tent
Random? RSM will have a blue fit. Dill Sergeant will go ballistic!
Strap fasteners, multipurpose, backpack, 1 inch, are precisely placed for general convenience.
2,3 UP….2,3 DOWN…..YES…SAAAARRRRRGGGNNNnnnnt.
Have some good treks.
Bungee cords are handy too. You can place them randomly if you wish.
Keep smilin…but not on parade. (struts off to the coffee shop with loose bootlaces)
Here is a random number generator so you can determine precisely random places to fix the bungee cords.
Keeps things in proper random order then.

So I bought a vest at the army navy store for cheap and I found out it was actually body armor from the military. But it’s the IBA from point blank inc. the crappy body armor. Soo… what should I do? Keep or something, cause from reports, don’t think it will protect me from 9mm’s if I got shot.
my concern over this is that it was from the gov. or something. I was thinking of selling it, but then realized it’s illegal to sell gov items. I’m not planning on getting shot, but if you have body armor, might as well hope it stops bullets if that’s it’s intended purpose. so I’m kinda stuck, cause I can’t sell it, and it won’t even stop bullets.
oh also, it only has the kevlar, there’s no plate in it!
I did 4 tours in SE Asia. My crappy body armor (if you could even call it that) stopped 4 bullets. Although I did get wounded 6 times only the last one got me out of the service. And that took a mortar! If things are that bad just wear it. You never know!
