Fobbit \'f -bit\, noun. Definition: A U.S. soldier stationed at a Forward Operating Base who avoids combat by remaining at the base, esp. during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2011). Pejorative. In the satirical tradition of Catch-22 and M*A*S*H, Fobbit takes us into the chaotic world of Baghdad's Forward Operating Base Triumph. The Forward Operating base, or FOB, is like the back-office of the battlefield - where people eat and sleep, and where a lot of soldiers have what looks suspiciously like a desk job. Male and female soldiers are trying to find an empty Porta Potty in which to get acquainted, grunts are playing Xbox and watching NASCAR between missions, and a lot of the senior staff are more concerned about getting to the chow hall in time for the Friday night all-you-can-eat seafood special than worrying about little things like military strategy. Darkly humorous and based on the author's own experiences in Iraq, Fobbit is a fantastic debut that shows us a behind-the-scenes portrait of the real Iraq war.Binding Type: Paperback

Good fit, light weight, very comfortable
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Army Green
I've purchased several of these now and overall they seem like a decent buy for the price. They are very light weight and seem to retain their shape and avoid wrinkling when hung to dry after washing. Despite never seeing a clothes dryer however, the black variant still pilled up a bit after moderate use.
There seems to be some variation in sizing: all the black and olive colored ones seem pretty consistent but the gray run small and the blue just a bit large (all purchased in XL, me at 6'3 and 225#)

Great with a great price
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: X-Large, Color: A-blue/Army Green
First off. I am female 5’10”. I thought the extra large fit great. The material is very soft and light. I think they’re warm though. I just washed them for the first time yesterday with dryer. Air dry. I’d like to see after a couple washes and know how the dryer affects it.

Great products, Great seller!
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Dark Blue
I have ordered over $600.00 worth of goods from this seller. Every single purchase has been exactly as advertised. The gym clothing is made with quality materials and have held up great thru my 5 day a week workouts. I have also ordered some of their fitted shirts to wear with slacks and jeans. And again all the items are extremely well made, fit as expected, and are made with quality materials. I would highly recommend purchasing from this seller. The have never let me down.

Wide, feminine neck
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Army Green
I ordered Medium, as I usually wear. I’m 5’11” 175lbs. The neck was very wide and cut semi/deep. It looked like a woman’s workout shirt.
The material looks and feels nice, and other than the neck it fit true to size. I returned it because of how they fit in the neck.
