why do cia operatives all seem to use glocks and wear tile shirts?

for funsies

>>32604581
>Glocks
Because proven performance
>Tile shirts
Because the CIA did grey man when your grandpa had your dad in his balls. We used words like "incognito" before autism was mainstream.

>glocks
They're all given them and it cuts costs greatly to go with the cheapest thing that just werks.
>tile shirts
Zero fashion sense. They would probably wear front zipped gray jumpsuits if it wouldn't draw shitloads of attention.

>>32604618

ok but what specifically about tiled shirts makes them gray man, if anything, they are kinda rare these days.

>>32604650
i dont know what a tiled shirt is, but if its the plaid shirt the guy in cuffs has on, well, thats clothing grown-ups wear in the west. a button-down shirt denotes the person has enough self-respect to not dress like a frat boy in cargo shorts and graphic tees.

grow up, faggot.

>>32604650
You try to blend into fashion.

Or true Operative grey man, you try to appear less threatening than you even are. aka a nerd like who's that Delta guy Vining.

That's grey man +1. They completely underestimated you.

not really, most adults wear stripes or plain color shirts. Tiles was popular like 10 years ago in terms of fashion. The agent caught in russia was wearing tiled shirt also, i heard somewhere that it helps break up the printing by a ccw.

Its called flannel you fucking inbred, even hicks know this.

It's such a fucking trend now, you might as well shoot anyone wearing jeans and flannel in a combat zone on sight. I'd think that you would be a lot more conspicuous about your exact purpose by being "random army man".

>>32604581

They're high-mobility dress shirts made by Massif, the same company that makes ACS blouses. I have a few of them, they're great. You can stretch your arms entirely over your head without the shirt coming untucked because of the articulated shoulder cut, and it's moisture wicking, flame resistant, antibacterial, ripstop, etc

No one is wearing flannel in a fucking dessert, you retard

Wew lad

>>32604834
hey technically thats still correct

no one wears flannel in a chocolate sundae

>>32604725
Flannel is a type of fabric, plaid is a type of pattern.

Plaid shirts are not always made of flannel (PIC in OP doesn't look like it) and flannel shirts are not always patterned in plaid.

You want to look as harmless as possible

Well in this case all professors at my university would get shot...

mmhhmm

>>32604848
that's not a sundae. its a banana split.

unless you count a banana split as a sundae, but that would make you some kind of communist.

>>32605283
it took me a good minute to realise what the hell you were talking about, but i get it now. i was talking dessert in general, not really your image specifically.

also maybe i DO consider a banana split a sundae

>>32604659
>frat boys
>wearing cargo shorts
>ever
You don't know alot of guys in fraternities, don't you?

>>32604581
To look as dull as possible. I don't understand why someone would wear plaid in Afghanistan though. You don't really blend in as well as in the upper midwest.

>>32604581
Douchebags?

This. Never seen any fratbros on campus wear cargo shorts. Usually shorter, bright colored shorts like pic related.

>>32607157
It's very rare that I see a brother wearing pastel shorts. We all think it's kinda dumb. The flat front shorts + button down combo is a standard look though.

>>32607157
Cargo shorts were more of a late 90s/early 00s thing.

>>32605283
>>32605334
What is a banana split but three sundaes and a banana that will soon be thrown in the trash?

>>32607339
Maybe it's a regional thing? at Florida I see a lot of them with the pastel colors and dip cups.

>>32607157
frats at my college were a lot more "uncouth" than that

You should see 'em at the state school frats, they are still wearing cargo short there.

>>32604581
they're white men in their 30's and 40's in casual mode.
t.white 40 year old man who has quite a fe shorts like that.

Real spooks dress like nerds

>>32604581
i have a closet full of tile shirts, but I'm usually not competent enough in my dress to actually wear them.

fuck, I need a job.

maybe the CIA will hire some of their directed energy weapons victims.

>>32604581

Because the majority of CIA are gray hairs that think it's still 1990.

You'll also see them as they're the only clean shaven white guy in the Hawaiian shirt, khaki pants and dumb tourist look.

>>32604679
Grey man is literally being the person that no one ever looks at twice, the one that seems to just slip through, it's more than just clothing

>>32610760
Man I must have seen a load of CIA in Pompey when I was there, never would have suspected those loud mouth fat guys to be operators

>>32610798
It blends in well at a white people hotspot, not so much in a shithole of mostly brown people.

>>32610808
CIA should start shilling the fuck out of Syria as a destination for holidays, and reopen flights there
ISIS wanna flood Europe with refugees and fighters, let's flood them with annoying tourists and alphabet agencies

>>32610772
>it's more than just clothing
elaborate
how should one behave

>>32610846
Well I'm probably no grey man, but you also gotta think about how you present yourself besides clothing, your mannerisms, how you walk and talk
How you give answers is a big one I believe, right down to if you are being interrogated how you sit in your chair and how you look at people
Any and all of it could save their lives in dangerous situations

>>32610829
>With bureaucracy

Where is their God now ?

>>32610731
I never heard of Pendleton until right now. Y'know why? Because that's a brand, not a type of clothing or pattern. I don't call tissues "kleenex", I don't call jeans "levis", and I don't call flannel shirts "pendletons"

A frat guy wearing cargo shorts is like a slavboo carrying a luger.

>>32607521
If you're down south it's alot more stereotypical. The bright colors are more regional, but EVERYONE dips.

>>32610912
Yup, that's a n impure animal for them.
Dammit they can't even put "Love doggos" on their pro list.

Let's call it Water Firearms Hookah

Is there a "culture" among the agency's paramilitary officers, just like in military SOF?

>>32604581
So they can blend in the middle east

That guy sticks out like a sore thumb in Pakistan.

If I'm not mistaken he was a CIA contractor using generic American embassy employment as cover. So I don't think he was trying to hide the fact that he was American. Probably just the fact that he was there as a station chief.

>>32611832
Better to look like an American with an excuse to be there than an American trying not to look like an American.

Patterned shirts do.

It's why my wardrobe has been switching from tees and solid color's into plaid once my CCL arrived.
