Career Progression - Funny Evolution of Man Veteran T Shirt
Nobody gets issued the door on day one. Day one is a push broom, a hallway that was already clean, and an E-5 who disagrees. The door comes years later, after enough details, digs and road marches that the knees file their own paperwork. Four million years of evolution, and every stage of it was on somebody's detail roster. Military humor shirt for the operator who still knows where the broom closet is, and for the veteran who swears he skipped the shovel phase.
THE DEBRIEF
Six figures march right, one job each: a knuckle-walking ape with a broom across its shoulders, a stooped ape holding a shovel, a hominid under an oversized ruck, a helmeted man with a rifle, a man in a vest with night vision on his helmet, and the bearded operator in full kit, rifle down.

QUESTIONS FROM THE BACK
What is an operator in the military?
A member of a special operations unit who carries out the mission itself, as opposed to the people who support it. The word has since drifted to anyone who owns a vest. On this shirt it is where the career ends up, four million years after the first work detail.
What are NODs in military slang?
NODs are night observation devices: night-vision units, usually mounted on the helmet so they can flip down in front of the eyes or up out of the way. Nobody is issued a set on day one. Here they turn up late in the career, which is about right.
What are the evolution of man?
The stages from ape-like ancestors to modern Homo sapiens, best known from Rudolph Zallinger's 1965 March of Progress drawing in Time-Life's Early Man. Scientists point out the real thing was a branching bush, not a single-file walk. The single file stuck anyway, and in the military version every stage pulls a work detail first.
