They thought "Irish Pride" was possibly racist?
I guess your EO had never been to Boston...

You never had your EO officer do tattoo searches?

Maybe it was something from the infantry because we had problems with racist
skinheads, but from meps through every stage of my military career we had
tattoo checks.

I almost got put out because I have an irish pride tattoo on my stomach.

I deployed with the Texas National Guard, specifically a unit from El Paso.
The unit was 80% Hispanic. There were absolutely no searches for gang tats
even though some of the guys had them. The 12 years I was in active duty I
had never heard of this. I emailed my brother-in-law yesterday who is an
active duty Captain(p) and he informed me that he has never heard of that
either. 
Like I said, I feel that this was a case of prejudice. 
Now I am not purposely trying to contradict Loathe. It could very well be
that the units he was in did that. I am just speaking from my personal
experiences.

well it seems like you would know. However, he says this was the only
unit. Only National Guard unit? I have no way to reconcile your
statement with his. Bruce?
