Who besides me thinks it's stupid to have the rank on the chest on the ACUs? As far as I'm concerned, that's a sexual harassment complaint waiting to happen. "Oh no Ma'am, I wasn't trying to stare at your breasts, I was just trying to figure out if I need to salute you or not."

If someone things you're staring at their breasts to see their rank, you are probably staring at their breasts. Lol
It doesn't take that long to look at rank. I like rank on the sleeves or the collar, but up front isn't all bad. I have seen some people stare at women and then come up with some cockamamie excuse like I was looking to see you rank. Well you were 3 feet away and looking for 10 seconds. I hardly think it takes you that long to figure out she is a PFC.

I could understand that. However, usually a LTC is 40 years old and a cadet is 20. Hardly think you'd have trouble identifying that. Lol. Again. There are circumstances, however, when in doubt, you salute. I've saluted a SPC before. He saluted me back. We both wondered why we were saluting each other but we chuckled at one another once we passed. No biggy. When in doubt, whip it out.

Oh the jokes I could make if this were certain groups on Facebook *snicker*...I'm so 12 sometimes. But I'll refrain here.
On a more serious note, if we went back to on the sleeve for NCO/Enlisted and on the collar for officers, it'd be easier. If you see nothing on the sleeve, salute.

Facebook is the devil. I deleted my account and my 800 friends. Be careful with your friends, chief. They are more jealous than your enemies.

I think it would be great to have rank on the sleeve for NCO/Enlisted and on the collar for Officers.

CW3 (Join to see) I prefer sleeves and collars (The Corps still does it this way.) Your point is something I never thought about. I have noticed the similarities in young LTCs and old SPCs. I always thought the funniest part was it's like a Snipers' dream: 1.Rank check 2. Aimpoint.

I liked the old system of rank and branch insignia on the collar. Having a pause button on my chest just invites Soldiers to push th
