This guy also had the same lettering in reverse on his windshield, as well as a Sgt rank sticker above the inspection/reg. stickers on the windshield.


Someone help me out with this one here.....

Someone a little too proud of what they do? Reminds me of the types who have fire fighter/EMS stickers plastered all over their POV's.

It's called "attention wh***ing."

I'm doing something that I feel people should pay attention to me for...so I'm going to try and force them to give me attention.

Because it would look so much better if the tailgate said "GIT-R-DUN" or "EIP RACING" or "BIG TOYS FER BIG BOYZ" Smile

sorta yeah... i looked into it, but no time, and if I'm going to invest into anything, I'm enlisting in the real deal. its more a PR/reserve thing for TXARNG... like loading sandbags, handing out water bottles, etc. work a highschool JROTC could do. there's more to it, I know, so hopefully the 1 or 2 TXSG guys here dont get bent out of shape, but this guy is a knucklehead

Reminds me of a guy who use to work with me when I worked DOD. He had "FEDERAL OFFICER" across his back window with gold stick on letters from Kmart; and a jacket with the same title embroidered on the back. I think he got close to one too many shells when he was a Marine in 'Nam.
