<p>haha seriously! It's not that often that you find someone who uses almost as many smiley faces as me!</p>
<p>woops...i'll try to restrain myself. i can't help it!</p>
<p>A note on ABUs:</p>
<p>I was at an AETC meeting last night. The SMSgt there said that 2012 is getting ABUs, but they don't know exactly where cadet distinctive patches will go, yet. </p>
<p>That seems to say, they will not have many ABUs. So, 2012 is probably getting at least a few sets of BDUs.</p>
<p>way cool! that makes me excited...</p>
<p>Don't worry, from everything I understand, you're still going to be wearing BDU's for Basic, and you'll still have to learn how to polish your boots/low quarters. Besides, it'll be even easier to pick a 2012er out of a crowd once you guys start wearing the ABU's... :P</p>
<p>Just teasing. Uppers can pick 4-digs out of crowd easy any way. ;)</p>
<p>haha i know you can :) i really didnt wanna get outta the whole boot-polishing, BDU-ironing thing. just seems like it's gone on forever.. dont change it on us! I am excited about the ABUs though, that'll be really cool</p>
<p>Don't worry, you still get to shine your low quarters...although, they are much easier to shine.</p>
