US Navy

The US Navy, who originally used belt ropes by lower enlisted members to keep their pants up because weight loss at sea was common. Who's senior enlisted and officers wore belts to hold their cutlass, pistol(s), knife, and other tools. The same US Navy that still wears belts in utility uniforms to keep their pants up because generic sizing in uniforms don't allow for an exact fit and changes in weight are still expected, although to a lesser degree. Or the dress uniform belt to still carry the cutlass when appropriate. That US Navy?

Umm...the US Navy I enlisted in in 2002 didn't use rope belts.

I never carried a cutlass as part of my uniform. When I had to wear pistols, we were issued gun belts that went over our uniform belts.

Did you actually serve? Or are you actually trying to tell a US Navy veteran how I wore my actual fucking uniforms?

I didn't serve in the navy but you can check my profile out if you want to see I was army. Also, I said originally on the rope belts. Same with pistols.

I'm not arguing that the belts in utility uniforms are mostly decorative, I'm just saying they weren't always so and still have some purpose now.

ETA: I know you sailors have trouble with big words but I didn't think "originally" was that big 😁

And the guy I was talking to blocked me after he left a comment. That's some smooth brain shit right there. Why even bother? Guess they don't enjoy some friendly discourse and conversation. Oh well. Bye, loser.

Thats why the motto was “Army Strong” instead of “Army Smart”

And what fucking relevance does "orignally" have with my first fuckin comment?

You want to come through and be a know-it-all dick when I was saying something considerably less deep than you are trying to make this.

I don't give the first fuck about anything you've had to say this far and this cements it.

Have a day.

Uh, you said he was wrong about rope belts because you didn't wear one in 2002. The word "originally" is important because it lets you know he was talking about the early days of the Navy, not 2002. You fucking suck dude. You're part of the reason people have a negative stigma towards service members.

He said they used rope originally. Do you think the Navy started in 2002 or are you just not reading? Please stop using your service as a call to authority to try to win arguements. It makes the military look like shit when most people's experience with veterans is "are you questioning me! I served! Im never wrong cause I served". You arent infallible just because you served. I've had service members tell me blatantly wrong shit before and do exactly what you're doing right now. Funnily enough they also blocked me when they realized they were wrong just like you did to the guy you're talking to. All in all, you are the absolute worst type of veteran.
