I see these signs all over ft hood gyms. No headphones while in PT gear from 0630-0745. Why? I dont understand the purpose behind this rule right here. Is it to deter Soldiers from going to the gym during PT hours? I mean the gym is still crowded during those hours.

anyone think it's related to maintaining situational awareness, especially where large groups of Soldiers congregate, at Fort Hood.
Maybe, just maybe the leadership took a common sense approach to trying to keep everyone situational aware - two on-post shooting over the last half-dozen years.

Because it will start out with ear-buds and progress to bright red Dr. Dre BEATS 12" subs.

Lets not even start with the fact that if you shelled out money for beats, you spent 70% more than an equivalent high quality fidelity earphone by any other reputable manufacturer, strictly because...you don't know any better or you like to be trendy.

SFC Thomas,
It falls in line with so much more that the military does. Of all of the things to worry about, you are being denied anything that gives you joy. It is the new QSP/QMP. It seems they are bleeding you of anything worthwhile. A drop in morale leads to a drop in numbers (at less cost, as severance isn't an issue if one ETS's). Embrace the suck (or see it for what it is and leave)
Please note, this is oozing with sarcasm and meant to be semi-funny.

SSG Woods,
That's why I added the semi before the funny. You laugh then stop abruptly and wonder, "What if it's true?"
