Tuck your boot strings in!!

alright , i been going thru some uniform posts and i cant believe how many of you just stuff the boots with your pant legs, and let your boot strings hang out. VERY unprofessional and you wouldnt pass inspection in the army thats for sure. take pride in your Ghostbusting uniform If you cant tuck them in properly wear them like good old pete venkman. Alot of army navy stroes sell Boot blouses or blousing garters that are inexpensive and will look 100 times better and TUCK YOUR BOOT STRINGS IN!! it just looks sloppy . if you buy the garters they go underneath your pant leg and then you roll your pant leg up under the blousing garter to the desired level then you pull it down over your boot . (do not leave on your leg as it constricts and can cuase bad circulation) . And when you are done tying your boots take the lacess and tuck in the boot laces to either side. trust me it will look alot better!!

  1. tucking the legs of your suit into your boots is screen-accurate, at least to GB1. When you use blousers, your suit legs sometimes ride up and look dumb when you sit down because they can expose your socks and shin.

  2. Not tucking your shoe laces is screen accurate.

  3. Inspection? Would slime, grime and marshmallow be overlooked in a military inspection?

  4. Why would the military be doing a dress inspection of a Ghostbuster?

your post reminds me a bit of this one:

If I wanted military lectures, I would have joined the military.

A certain level of sloppiness is needed for the uniform. I’m tucking my legs into my boots and leaving my boot laces hanging loose whether you like it or not. Deal with it.

Me and our team captain do a uniform inspection before each event because we do worry about a professional appearance. Usually we let one or two go with untucked pants. We make sure pockets aren’t unzipped and collars aren’t under the alice pack straps.

But I honestly can’t ever remember worrying about tucking in boot strings.

I must say Jeff, you guys always look great!

I think the fact that you guys use all the same brand and color uniform really helps you look professional.

A little anal-retention when it comes to your GB uniform is a good thing . . . but dont act like your getting ready to be inspected by an Officer.

the GB tucked there strings in and those boot garters only ride up if you dont know what your doing take it or leave it it looks ridiculous.

yeah they totally did . . . . .

if you’re gonna try and state facts you think you know, you had better have screenshots to back them up

Looking a little unkempt is natural for a Ghostbuster, in my opinion. It’s good to be covered in slime, and have a cigarette hanging out of your mouth.

After seeing that screenshot, I think I’ll leave my laces really loose this Halloween, maybe even put some cake on my boots.

well kind i have a life other than swilling down coke a cola and looking at porn and searching for snap shots of a movie online buddy , all i am saying is there is nothing wrong with sarting a new trend and tryna take pride in your uniform and not look like a slob the ghost busters could pull it off , most people i see can not it looks cheesy and sloppy that is all

This thread reminds me of when people say you can’t wear white sox with dark shoes. I just don’t get it. :whatever:

It’s all arbitrary, what bugs the hell out of one person everyone else couldn’t care less. :walterpeck:

So you have such an important life and are so busy but yet enough time to come on an internet message board, state false facts and put people down for not tucking in shoe laces?

Shut the fuck up

But you have time to bitch about people not tucking in their laces. :roll:

But you have time to sit around and stare at pictures of people’s uniforms to see if the laces are tucked in?

In the words of a certain buggy driver . . .

“What an asshole.”

But you have time to come here and tell people to tuck their shoe laces in and state your opinion as a fact?

In the words of a police captain…

“The titanic just arrived.”

FUCK COCA-COLA

I say tuck in your toungue, close your mouth, and tie up your fingers to prevent typing. :cool:

HEY FUCK YOU

BOO HOO!!! It does look sloppy and it is screen accurate. I do blouse and tuck in laces but that comes from 11 years in the Army but to each his own I guess. I dont care either way. So I guess I’m agreeing but I’m not. By the the coca cola rules!!!

While I completely agree about tucking in your laces if you’re in the military, I know of only 2 Soldiers on here (myself included). So, you better slow your roll and realize that a bunch of civilians don’t give a rat’s ass about tucking in their laces. I take great pride in both my ACUs and my GB uniform so I tuck in the laces, but seriously…do you *honestly* think they care?

why is it when someone who has the maturity level of a grade school student gets upset because there wrong do they automatically go to “you look at porn, blah blah blah you have no life blah blah coke sucks for no reason blah” ?
