Really?

So I work in Ft Knox Kentucky. In the winter it get really cold. In October we had a field problem. On the packing list was our black fleace jacket and ski mask. During my guard shift at 2am I dressed as warmly as I could. While just trying to keep my mind off of the cold one of my NCOs came up to me. He asked me what I was doing. I told him just guarding the ammo holding area. He said no why are you wearing that stuff? You know our commander does not allow us to wear the black fleace or the ski mask. I had to reply. "So why was it on the packing list and why was I even issued it?" Long story short I was forced to take it off and damn near froze my ass to death during my 3 hour shift. It turned out ok though. I was so sick the following night I had to go back to the rear. Good call Mr Commander Sir.
