  • All this Army crap

    So, I'm packing up to move out of Waco. I have this massive pile of army shit. It's much bigger than it looks in the photo. The worst part is it's absolutely full of dead crickets. Most things have several dead ass crickets on them. I made the terrible mistake of dumping it out in search of a few things, and not picking it up. It became cricket central.

    What the fuck do I do with all this shit?
    I have brand new shit thats difficult for me to throw away, but then again, what will I do with it, save it forever? I have probably 6 BRAND NEW pairs of ACUs, 2 brand new pairs of DCUs, a lot of BDU shit, a full chem suit, dress shoes, several brand new Class A shirts (which arn't worn any more by the army). So many poly pros, so much cold weather shit.

    I may wear the DCU pants over time, but the ACU's I know I'll never touch em, just like 90% of this stuff. Do I just throw it all in the garbage?
    Make some drive to a surplus store in Killeen to sell it and not even get my fuel covered. I know it's 90% worthless shit, but it's hard for me to throw away.

    There's stuff that I'll keep forever. My ACH, my full IBA (with two sets of plates), but this little shit I'm stuck on. It's about 3 duffel bags worth, and 2 foot lockers. FUCK.

    Keep it if you have room to do so, I got rid of a ton of stuff and have regretted not having it a couple years down the road. I disposed of all of my DCU's and kept my BDU's but wish I had kept the DCU's too.

      God I just went out there again. I'll never wear these brand new PT shirts. They go for $.99 on ebay, not even worth the time. Do I just trash them? I probably have 10 brand new ACUs which also sell for $0.99 It's hard for me to throw shit away, I hate being sentimental, but I'll never touch this shit. Night vision bracket for an ACH. Do I really fucking need that. My stencil from basic training. Do I need that? No, do I want to chunk it? No.

        I kept mine. Take it to a car wash, hit it with the sprayer and then take your stuff home and wash it. Then put it up. You never know when your gear will come in handy
        I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

          Put an ad on craigslist free section, then set it by the curb.

            I'm keeping my favorite boots, my IBA w/ plates and my ACH. The real shit. Class A dress shoes? Fuck em.
            Chem suit? Maybe keep.
            Random ass leather gloves?
            pistol belt?

              You can put them on ebay and sell them and maybe make some cash or put it on CL as a lot

                My son is in the Army and stationed in South Korea and has some of his shit stolen. Let me know what size you are and what you want for the lot - I may just ship it over to him (after cleaning, of course) if it works out.

                <-- keep in mind the ACH and the IBA's (w/plates) are probably the most needed... if you just have Class A stuff, it's of no consequence..

                  It's all garbage. None of that shit is worth any effort other than donating it or tossing to the curb.

                      Ask him if he needs uniforms. I have Medium short ACU tops and Med Regular bottoms. Quite a few of them, brand new, they have remained pretty clean. Other than that most of the shit is out dated.

                      I have fucking 5 boonie caps, all with the tags. I know no one will want em, but I'll try.

                        I'll let him know - kid thought he could do laundry and come back and it would all be there... Among that, he has left his door unlocked on more than one occasion and shit is gone.

                        <-- has told him "you're an idiot" more than once...

                            He'd be offended - he's a PFC now!


                            LOL - on chat just now:


                            Me: hey
                            what size ACU's do you wear?

                            Him: that's a vary random question..

                            Me: A friend has several sets of ACU's new with tags
                            I told him my son was in and he said if you are the near size, you can get them

                            Him: Anything medium!!!!!!

                              LOL, I have a lot man. Honestly way more than enough to get him until the new digicam is mandatory. How many do you want?

                              Also, I can mail them directly to KOREA from here, or I can drop them off to you and you handle it. I'm in Waco, next time I know I'll be in DFW is April 30.

                              wearing one uniform a month, I'd get 6 months out of a pair. How many do you want.
