Go navy! Beat army!

Military Tuck - Well I guess you would have to been in the military to know...i could not find a link on youtube...it is a little hard to describe but if you look at military personnel, especially marines, at the back near the waistline you will see each side of the shirt tucked, like a crease. The tuck runs up the back length of the shirt. While getting dressed, you roll your pant waist down over the belt line, you lean back so you can pull the shirt down and tight, you must maintain this position so you can pull the shirt tight, you then pull the shirt tight down with both hands at the back so you are tucking the loose part of the shirt in towards a tuck motion. YOu hold it with two fingers, bring your pants pack up, Hold the tuck, straighten up, pull your pants up and secure the belt. Now run your hands around the front of your pants to bring the uncreased parts of the shirt around so that you smooth out the shirt and retuck the loose ends into the previous tuck, pull tight, secure the shirt ends under your shorts or tights, now you look great with no loose ends, no ruffles the shirt is smooth all the way around with a nice tuck and it forms a straight line so you look nice and neat. It takes a little practice but once you get it down it only takes a few seconds...or another recommendation is to just buy the velcro rubber belt.
