There\u2019s only one solution: Repurpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least, that\u2019s what some store did. Using what appears to be surplus Army gear in the illustrious M81 Woodland print, an unnamed retailer simply sliced off the bottom of a BDU top and turned it into a crop jacket that any TikTok-ing Zoomer would be proud to sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, the location of this store is unknown. An anonymous sender passed the image along to popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AFamnncosnco\/?ref=page_internal\" target=\"_blank\">community Facebook page<\/a> \u201cAir Force amn\/nco\/snco\u201d without any additional information about the seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, you, an industrious and crafty veteran, have all you need to make you midriff-baring midsummer dreams come true: BDUs, a pair of scissors and the courage to show off the distant memory of six-pack abs that you lost when you stopped doing PT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wanted to add something extra, you might consider a Bedazzler. Amazon is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=bedazzler&#038;gclid=Cj0KCQiAuvOPBhDXARIsAKzLQ8GiUAFcKQ6pv3fB1RWNRcyCiIaBdPYQQiuSu1CRyMYcEjxTptt52vkaAsUWEALw_wcB&#038;hvadid=409999069367&#038;hvdev=c&#038;hvlocphy=9061286&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvqmt=e&#038;hvrand=13398849504340630363&#038;hvtargid=kwd-116953595&#038;hydadcr=26614_10407673&#038;tag=googhydr-20&#038;ref=pd_sl_8a95x0i7y1_e\" target=\"_blank\">selling kits<\/a> for around $20. But if you ask me, you simply can\u2019t put a price on glitter \u2014 it\u2019s invaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So go on, cut that BDU top. Show off your post-service dad bod with pride. America thanks you for your service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go ahead, bedazzle your
