ITS ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT MAN
*REVEALS JOKER NECK TATTOO*

 

Boy Scouts is where I learned it. Doubt it’s even communicated anywhere else other than the Military.

 

You’re not as bad as my friend. He’d borrow my truck to bring home pallets to cut up and burn as firewood.

 

as long as he takes the nails out but I'm guessing he doesn't

 

Yeah you mean like, when to fly it half mast?

Or when to take it up or down.

Or how the stars always face towards the direction of travel.

 

All of that.

And also not letting it touch the ground, not making clothes out of it, and (for extra credit) how to fold it.

 

That and other things, where to display it on a stage, how it should be in relation to other flags, etc.

I can’t quote it word for word, but I know enough to go look it up or when I see something that’s not right.

 

Yeah.

I've learned it nowhere else other than the military.

 

it's definitely dangerous to drive around bonfire territory

 

Annnnd now we thaw

 

god thinking about pallet fires made me remember the last one I went to in HS. someone got shot in the arm after I left and they ended up driving to walmart and bandaging themself in the bathroom

that crew laughed about it for months.

pretty fucked up in retrospect

 

all that frame reinforcement looks good

 

I just went back and re-read the original text. Could be a fun (or depressing) game to see how many offenses you see in a day.

@Kwikvette the orientation on a vehicle isn't actually part of the code. I think that's just military tradition.

Wait I thought the American flag was the punisher skull

 

Learning the flag codes in Boy Scouts was cool when I learned it long ago. We snickered about using some signs at the time that were considered counterculture outside of the group. We were somewhat subversive in those days and looked for ways to put hidden meanings in stuff.

The hand numbers are used in trail etiquette to let passing rigs know the position in the group. If you know the codes.

Some Jeepers waive number 2 thinking the victory wave is trail communication.

 

LEO ONLY SYMBO L HOSS

 

Direction of travel not only being applicable to vehicles, but on clothing as well.

On your arm for instance; whatever side you have the flag on, the stars always point forward.

It's metamorphic; always progressing.

 

Oh god I forgot about those Punisher stickers

And the overuse of Don't tread on me

 

I dislike them all, they're just dog whistles these days.

 

This version of the #3 reminds me of the scene from Inglorious Basterds when the American officer does it the American way and blows their cover

Only Tarantino can create dialogue so intense that a shootout/gunfight actually breaks tension in a scene rather than creating more of it lol
