I believe the best choice for a shirt color is black. It is neutral enough that it won't offend any service and offers a great platform for pictures, logos, and whatever else you want to put on it.
I totally understand.

My father was a marine and established many of his ethics from the service.... I like to feel he instilled them in me....

I will work on a design before next week!!

Awesome idea. I love the support all you guys over at CBRD give to the military and to your customers as a whole. You guys always go 120 percent over the top. Count me in for one of whatever the final product is.

I am the company commander of the 369th Fire Fighters (Army Reserves) and a 2004 graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. We have all sorts of different "job shirts" just like the civil fire departments. All of our shirts are the light tan shirt as shown below so we can wear them under our uniforms:



Chad I think this is a great idea. Maybe offer shirts in this color and black, just please NO CAMO lol. Let me know if you need a proto-type shirt and I will drop a few off.

I don't mean to be a stickler of AR 670-1 standards, there CO, but wearing a design on your tan undershirt of the ACUs is not within regulations. I know the Reserves have a little bit different standards than AC but as a commander you should know better.

True. But don't you think that my unit has proper authorization at the General Staff level?

As a commander I know that although it is not authorized we are a specialized unit and have never been challenged on it. It serves as a form of identification just like our fire fighter badges. We are also authorized to wear flight suits because they are made of nomex.

Hate to be a stickler back at you but you can throw a "sir" at the end of your reply

Awesome idea Chad!

I would like to have one with just an American flag on the back Chad if you are going to do them. Let me know what I would owe you.

I do think the digital camo would be cool!

Last time I checked you can add to a regulation, not take away from it and that goes for the General Staff level as well. GO's aren't exempt from Army Regulations. As a commander you should know even though you haven't been challenged on this discrepancy it is still that, a discrepancy.

Wearing a flight suit is a moot point because they are authorized for your mission accomplishment and an authorized wear of AR 670-1.

By the way, I work at the GO level and have no problem doing an on-the-spot correction of any rank. It goes along with being a professional Non-Commissioned Officer, sir.

Now enough of this bs so let's get back on topic. CBRD, I look forward to seeing your designs and will support you when they come out.

Any thought of making a civvie version with perhaps a fee attached to it that's a donation and in the end you can donate it to an organization putting together care packs for the troops?
