What's the point of a camouflaged weapon if you're going to wear a T-shirt and jeans?

Comfortable and best of all. You can ditch the gear really quickly if needed and blend in with the rest of the civilians.
Yeah, the NYG patch sucks, but the subdued one isn't too bad. Let me know if you're interested, I'll hook you up with Recruiting at Camp Smith in Peekskill. I was with the 244th Medical Clinic (NYG unit) prior to going full-time active duty with USPHS, so I still know a lot of people in the NYG. One of the better summer AT's I participated in was augmenting an Air National Guard medical unit from Indiana when they went through their EMEDS certification training -- full story and pics here.major liability said:I'd join the NY State Guard, but they apparently they have the lamest patch ever conceived by mankind.

From what I can tell, it's an Army ROTC unit on an FTX (point man has "US ARMY" nametape and the ROTC patch on the left shoulder), and the fact that it's linked from Providence College reinforces my idea.
