      It refers to a 9 line, which is a type of radio comm standard used for casualty evacuation and close air support strikes.

      Making a shirt out of it is a bit strange to me.

        Recruits get hazed in to memorizing the 9 Line in various idiotic ways during basic. Unless you’re in the air force where it’s just strongly encouraged. Regardless, as a result it’s a type of cultural flagstone for service members.

          Ahh this makes sense.

          My only experience is nerding the fuck out with Arma and DCS so I didn’t realize that.

        My job has a bunch of bros who cosplay as “Rescue Heroes”. They follow Forest fires and evacuation notices, and talk about how much they would be able to help with their equipment.

        Then they pee their pants when a tornado warning heads their way.

      It’s just a common brand worn exclusively by members of Y’allqaeda. Living in the south I see atleast a dozen of these guys a day.
