As every staff commissioned officer knows, PT belts are (non-scientifically) proven to reduce the likelihood that you’ll get hit by a car, or that you’ll be yelled at for not wearing one — and 60 percent of the time, it works every time.
See, they’re practically magic. So who wouldn’t want to combine the power of a PT belt with the actual scientifically proven effectiveness of wearing a face mask to stop the spread of germs, especially during a global pandemic?
Well, everyone can rest easy now:
Alright, for the benefit of the finest protection, I need one of these in size “Hooah”- stat. Not taking any chances. ??? pic.twitter.com/K13M1QtOHy

Although the tweet from Command Sgt. Maj. Rocky L.

As of press time, it doesn’t appear that any of these retailers sell the mask in size “Hooah.” Oh well.
