The secret is to drop your pants.... Ite imma head out

[@TeresaRodriguez-fp9dg]

I laughed😂

[@BallisticPlate]

Welcome to the military.

[@CrazyIvan865]

Or you can turn your pants cuff up with a double fold. Turn the cut up to the crotch of where your thumb meets your hand (about 2-3" on most people) and then turn the cuff up again a second time. Then you turn that fold under the boot bands.

[@possummilk2971]

Wasn’t expecting the pants drop, but thank you for this. 😂

[@_saltysage_37]

[@mr_beezlebub3985]

I’m glad I’ve found this video. The Army didn’t seem to want to teach us this in basic training, so we had to just tuck the trousers into the boots. It looked terrible.

[@jonbertocchi173]

Trust tucking boot is extremely important depending on what you do

[@NoNo-ce8xb]

Not to mention annoying

[@blackbeatsentertainment]

Usually from what I’ve seen nobody in the army really has it tight and thin, most of everyone I’ve seen keeps it baggy, even other people I know with boot laces

[@DiscyBoyo3000]

Basic training didn't really train us either !! Ima try this next week

[@flashgordon6238]

I bought two skinny door springs from a hardware store for blousing. I connected the ends to form two rings for a permanent loop. I just slip them over my foot before putting on the boots. They never wear out or stretch and the radius gives a great looking blouse.

[@KadenMarcus]

Wow. This definitely hepled my case in Army Cadets. My blouses were really baggy. Thanks for the vid

Excellent tip, goes beyond what other videos have shown, and looks better. Thanks.

[@RandomUser_online]

As an ROTC cadet this is pretty helpful

[@ayyoubhamtat8524]

Did this back in bootcamp. None knew this trick. Everyone came at me for dropping the trousers tho, but it worth it. Thanks!

[@PostRequisite]

The tip I got from my RAMP CC was just abit different. didnt have to pull the pants all the way down. before i start strapping the trousers i have my pants just below the hip. then i cuff the pants, blouse strap, pull up pants and tighten belt. Your way seems a bit faster so ill give it a shot.

[@rennerruiz1118]

Not gonna lie the old I used to do them worked sure but I always had the problem where they got baggy as the day went on this trick of pulling your pants down actually made my pants not look baggy for the first time. (Thanks man For teaching me this method)

[@takaogibson845]

Thanks for this great tip. I was in 12yrs NAVY and Army National Guard but been out over 17yrs. I wish I knew this when I was in.

[@stephensano9156]

When I was in the Army 1986-1992, some NCO's folded a crease with the bulk up the side of the calf on BDU's to get the effect. When ironed in they looked really sharp.

[@oldowl4290]

Dude, the thing about blousing is just that.. it’s supposed to actually look bloused, and not be overly tight like you’re doing here with the pants drop and pulling the cuff sky high. The correct blouse is in fact used to give a lot more knee room when bending, taking a firing position, etc. If too tight, like this, you’ll instantly feel the tightness in your knee whenever kneeling. It turns out that military research often has an actual purpose lol.

[@Rager016]

Your right bro that's what I was told today when I asked about it

[@nancycontreras5783]

Thanks now my instructor won’t get pissed when the new guys show up with the baggy pants

[@marcoportugal8308]

In my time in the Portuguese army we used to sow elastic to the pants measured the length we wanted to give the proper boot length.... Dammnnn this brought back good old memories 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for your service, and that goes for all that may read this, thank you brothers. AD UNUM.

[@NatureEnjoyer14]

as a skinhead who hates boots untucking this is a life saver

[@delakost9163]

done this and its perfect

[@marioserpico2223]

Another method: You can also stich elastic rubber tapes at the inside of the bottom edges of your uniform. _That's even faster and very reliable_

[@davidleonguerrero9011]

Thanks for the tip! Could you also do another video on how to fold ODU's sleeves like a pro? Thank you

[@davidleonguerrero9011]

@@militaryjourneymen lol I was told the same thing.. I can never get it to fit snug.

[@safeysmith6720]

To be honest, I like the look of blousing that sort of bunches up at the bottom (within reason! like about how you first had them, not too baggy!) To me it looks more stylish somehow. The way you got em all tight like that, it looks like a lanky old man wearing track pants that are two small for him. Lol!

"Ok the first step is drop your pants." Me: Wait what?

[@euibnida2217]

I like the bag effect.....

[@mjchern1]

During Army Basic Training in the late ‘60s, we bloused our fatigue trousers. When I got AIT, our drill sergeant decided that blousing was not allowed. We tucked our pants into our boots. When I was in OCS, we went back to blousing with our Corcoran jump boots. While on active duty afterward, I continued to wear the jump boots even though I was not airborne. Nobody said anything about their being inappropriate. In fact, I was named General’s Orderly while wearing them.

[@GuerrillaPM]

This is actually genius

[@militaryjourneymen]

Drop em

[@BalmungOrca]

OMG, thanks for the help. Awesome video, trying it out right away. :)

[@khemrajsingh541]

If you don’t have the bungees you can try rubber bands. Not extremely small & tight rubber bands tho. Also if you have the bungee cords you can use that along with the rubber bands to give you a tighter more neat and stable blouse. Some people like it some don’t but anyways, that’s just my advice. Love from the 868 🇹🇹🤟

[@ripper1946]

Coast guard: You actually want to drop your pants. Navy: Hmmmm interesting

[@ryansammler9104]

Having 4 or 5 blousing bands on each ankle definitely helps out a lot too

[@youngflakko4882]

This video definitely helped especially how i'm in the security sector

[@westleysellers537]

i mean once you walk up one ladder on a cutter your blousing is done for and then will end up like you had it at first

[@militaryjourneymen]

touche

[@lostsouls1919]

Blouse bands

[@cgmason7568]

But the amount of fabric bloused should be the same so it's at least a little easir to fix

[@cjeppinga]

The basic way is the same way chefs hem there pants I’ll definitely do this when I go into boot camp thanks for the tip

[@outerspaceman7534]

Do you get paid on top of your pay grade for your job? Basically what I’m trying to say is if you make a dollar for being an e4 do you get another dollar for being a cook for a total of two dollars?

[@Philitron128]

Short answer is no, long answer is it depends. If a rate (job) is considered "critical" (in high demand ) then a bonus may be issued. This bonus can either be a sign on bonus or a reenlistment bonus. This is not always the case and there can be a mountain of qualifying requirements as well. So to answer your question, yes/kinda.

[@cgmason7568]

Base pay for the same for grade and time in grade is the same, it's the other stuff that adds up sea pay, combat, hazardous duty pay, separation pay, bonuses for re-enlistment

NEED TO KNOW.... you tucked it around the strap, then is it resting ON THE BOOT under the second eyelet...or ON TOP of the boot by the ankle , and let the pant leg drop to the second eyelet. need to know cause I strap under the second eyelet on an 8in boot and was told this video is wrong .... so if you can settle this that would help.
