What is the significance of a reflective PT Belt? Is it a sign of risk aversion? Who really wore these in a combat zone?

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?

I only wore mine on base. We had no street lights so it was basically for our safety if we happened to be walking/running along the side of the road.

I love how it is a BELT but had to wear it like a sash. We did convoys and heaven forbid you get to a COB/FOB and not have a reflective belt. They would call your BN TOC! SMDH Seems like people were more worried about a reflective belt than the other gear needed. Anyone remember you couldn't wear a specific color because that meant you were "open for business"?

One tour you couldn't wear pink/red and then a different tour of you wore anything other than yellow then you were offering what ever "service" according to the color you wore. A lot of the locals working the PX or food courts were wearing all kinds of colors...

The PT belt saved my life!!! I got a ticket on Disney in Bahgram for not having one on. A soldier quickly corrected me. Later that night, a mortar round came across the airfield and missed me by a mile or two. All because my new reflective belt guarded like an invisible shield. I love the PT belt. Over the next fifteen months in KAF, constant bombardments night after night and I was never hit. All because that little yellow reflective belt saved me time and time again. I even purchased them in blue, orange, green and yellow.

Every time I woke up at night and had to go take a leak, it saved me from all danger and it also kept my aim true. It also saved my life during daylight hours when I traveled thru Bagram

Sir, respectfully, command looks out for its troops. PT belts are a sign of caring.
What do you think of PT belts?

I remember standing in line for chow in Iraq and seeing this poster where some clown had his Sun, Wind, and Dust goggles on and he was telling how it saved his sight after being IEDed. I thought, "Why are we not making Humvee armor out of these goggles if they work so well?" I mean if a piece of plastic can stop a piece of metal traveling at 100+ MPH then it should make a vehicle impervious to attack.
