Soft Target - Funny Operator Veteran Tee
NODs down. Comms check. Wand dipped. Engage. His NODs cost more than his truck, and tonight they are tracking bubbles. Hard-knuckle gloves add 19 tries to a clean bubble. The team knows. It stays out of the AAR. Rounds fired: zero. Bubble solution: half a bottle.
THE DEBRIEF
A bearded operator in near-profile, facing right, drawn in one distressed phosphor-green ink on black. Helmet, headset with boom mic, four-lens NODs with a smiley face in every lens, a flag patch on the vest, and a hard-knuckle glove holding a bubble wand in front of his pursed lips. Eight bubbles drift up and to the right, unopposed.

QUESTIONS FROM THE BACK
What are NODs in military slang?
NODs is short for night observation devices (some say night optical devices): the night vision that mounts on the helmet and flips down over the eyes. NODs down means the work has started. On this shirt the work is bubbles, and all four lenses are smiling.
What is an operator in the military?
Informally, a member of a special operations unit who goes out on the mission itself rather than supporting it. Delta Force made the word famous. This one is currently operating a bubble wand.
What does the military use for night vision?
Mostly helmet-mounted image-intensifier NODs, monocular like the PVS-14 or binocular like the PVS-31, plus thermal sights; some special operations units run four-lens panoramic NODs for a wider field of view. The wider field of view is how he keeps all eight bubbles in frame at once.
