I received this in my email while in Iraq and was never successful in locating it again. That is until Troy Bouhammer emailed the powerpoint...thanks Troy! He's commented on some of the more ridiculous aspects of Fobbitism degrading morale along with Vampire 06 if you're interested.

I think the whole powerpoint is available on chairforce.com...at least it used to be, I'm too lazy to go dig up the link.
Anyway, I think my favorite bit was the screen-cap from Band of Brothers that was photoshopped..."Join the 101st Airborne, get a free reflective belt!"
I retired before that wisdom was embarked, but was in when they made you wear one whenever you had PT gear on. Even if you weren't doing PT. That was dumb all by itself.
Anon,
It really is ridiculous, and I'm glad senior NCOs like Troy are calling a spade a spade.
Yes, I remember having to wear them when in PT uniform, even if I wasn't doing PT. I thought that was in the top 10 stupidest things I'd seen in 20 years, so I retired. I'm sure someone, somewhere wants the ACU's to have built in reflective properties.
I was thinking of burning my reflective belt, but since it's made of kryptonite, no dice.
