Certified Salty Veteran - Veterans Day Tee
Salt content tested at the separation physical: off the chart, and still climbing. He corrects the new guy's acronyms without being asked. He keeps a ranked list of every bad call his last command made and reads it to the man behind the counter at the hardware store. He calls every younger veteran kid, including the ones who are forty. Veterans Day is the one morning a year the salt gets a reserved table and a free plate of pancakes.
THE DEBRIEF
VETERAN in towering condensed capitals, every letter filled with camouflage and broken by a crackle distress that lets the shirt show through. CERTIFIED SALTY runs across the top in small, widely spaced capitals.

QUESTIONS FROM THE BACK
What does salty mean in the military?
Experienced, and not shy about it: someone who has been in long enough to stop being impressed and to say so out loud. The usual story is that it started with sailors, whose covers went white with dried sea salt after years at sea.
What does a salty sailor mean?
A sailor with enough sea time to have seen every port twice and every rumor three times. He answers a seaman's question with a story that starts in a different decade.
What is a salty veteran?
A veteran whose opinions outranked him years ago. He is still sure the old gear was better, still certain the last command got it wrong, and still parks backed in so he can leave fast.
