Many people don't know that PT belts actually have a proud history...

I heard an interesting tale that perhaps someone could confirm. Supposedly the Marine Corps no longer requires safety vests for motorcycles because they don't assist at all. In fact they actually attract drivers!

The PT belt: It's like the bracelets for Wonder Woman but for Service-members.

I love all these PT belt memes. I don't think there's many items in the military inventory that's as maligned as the PT belt........lol
