Direct order from CSMs NOT to wear them today. Probably because this run is televised, the uniforms are issued to standard, the PT belts come in all colors.

Reflective belt - " so we can be safe"...we sound like [bleep] Dora at times.

The problem is that if they specified a color, say white reflective belts, the local supply would be wiped out, and we'd be back to the standardization problem again...or less runners.

We digress: Happy Birthday Army!

Yep, at Carson they have them color coded by Brigade so they know what unit you are in. Almost all FOB's overseas you have to wear them in PT's and at night in any uniform....
