Silly Army Policy

I along with many other service members love to ride motorcycles. In the state that I am in you do not have to wear a helmet. So I was taking a Sunday stroll. My boss drove up next to me at a stop light and noticed I was not wearing all of the INSANE safety gear the man requires you to wear. Here is the list...Boots, full length pants, full length long sleeve shirt, helmet with some form of ballistic eye protection, full length gloves, and a reflective vest. Now if you do not wear every little thing they want you to wear and you are in an accident they do not have to pay for you medical bills and your family can and will not get your life insurance payment. So why the hell does the military care if I don't wear my crap? You think they would want you not to. Is our government not trying to save money? One of the many things about being government property that drives me insane. During every weekend safety brief I wanted to shoot someone in the face. You do not need to tell me every week to put on sun screen, drink water, and not beat my dog. How about if I cross the line you deal with me then? We all know the rules and know what is expected of us in and out of work. Why waste a hour of my friday telling me to use a condom?
