This is a free for all post as you see fit and if you disagree then say so.

We have all seen them. Some other things to consider. What do other branches think? I never belonged to a unit that wore them in a combat zone; the units that did wear them in combat seemed to also suffer from poor leadership, morale, and compentance (not individual but as a team).
Where would we be without these reflective belt over our camo?

Survey is who worn them in a comabt zone?

In Mosul,rockets and mortars rained down on us daily. They loved targeting the scout helicopters and several took lateral frag damage. The decision was finally made.........

MAJ (Join to see), I am proud and delighted to say that I never wore one anywhere, because I retired before they were created!

CPT Michael Barden and LTC Stephen C. , this CSM would NEVER go for that! I got in a heated discussion with the 1st CAV CSM in Afghanistan and refused to make anyone on my FOB wear one. He threatened action but didn't follow through.

SFC Mark Merino, ironically, not only did I survive without a reflective PT belt, but so did hundreds of thousands of other soldiers before me!
