What would be a ridiculous but believable policy someone might create for soldiers to abide by?

<p>Now for something a little less serious - These policies do not exist and I hope will never exist. The whole point is to create a new rule that is so ridiculous and so reasonable that it would be real by a single stroke of a U.S. Government Skillcraft pen black ink type 1ea.</p><p><br></p><p>I will go first: </p><p><br></p><p>1. The CG at a certain Army installation has banned the sale of violent video games at the PX and all stores on post. </p><p><br></p><p>2. A 1SG at a certain Army unit has banned the wear of "skinny" jeans by enlisted members in his unit. </p><p><br></p><p>3. Service members can not "spike" their hair when in civilians clothes and off duty.</p><p><br></p><p>4. The CG at a certain Army installation has banned Hello Kitty vinyl stickers holding fire arms displayed on automobiles. </p><p><br></p><p>It's pretty easy. The more ridiculousness you can think of the better.</p>

1. Speed limit is lowered to 5 MPH everywhere in observation of driving safety.<div><br></div><div>2. PT Belt must be worn while walking around off duty - anywhere.</div><div><br></div><div>3. For security purposes, all installation gates will be closed except for one gate during peak morning and evening traffic hours.</div><div><br></div><div>4. To prevent excessive use of cell phones, and to prove a point, mobile phones can only be used while physically connected to a land line.</div><div><br></div><div>5. For OPSEC purposes, service members will not be able to fly an American flag on their home.</div><div><br></div><div>6. In order to ensure that unit personnel files are up to date, all sensitive administrative info must be lost or destroyed at least once every 6 months, therefore ensuring files get updated at least twice a year with the most current information.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

Sir,
Actually #3 was in effect @ Ft Lee during the sequestrian a few months back as it was supposedly because of the furloughs, only one gate was open during non-peak hours, and even during peak only 3 gates were open, the other 2 were only open for 2-3 hours then closed again. So that one is right on the mark and could be utilized again if inclined.

1. POV's in the unit parking lot must be "on line".<div>2. You must dispatch your POV over the weekend and keep a mileage record.</div><div>3. Due to financial cuts, it's no longer enough to collect the brass after the range, you must also dig up the slugs.</div><div>4. If you forget your PT belt you must share with your first line supervisor during the run. (I actually came up with that and did it....hilarious)</div><div>5. No trays allowed in the DFAC to save money. </div><div>6. Article 15 for falling out of fun run.</div><div>7. No cadence calling on the right foot.</div><div>8.

1) The Army is forcing people to wear PT belts while wearing uniforms that were designed to be seen in low light conditions.<div><br></div><div>2) The Army won't let Soldiers put their hands in their pockets, even if it's really cold.</div><div><br></div><div>3) The ability to run from the enemy is more important to promotion chances than your ability to use your weapon.</div><div><br></div><div>4) We are going to promote people without testing them to see if they know their job.</div><div><br></div><div>5) We are going to combat suicides by forcing to sit through enough Powerpoint training that they'll WANT to kill themselves by the end of it.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Wouldn't it be crazy if any of that were true!</div>

Be sure to go to Sackets Harbor and Alexandria Bay before Fall when it all shuts down. Carthage is a nice place to live too.
