CAMP PENDLETON, CA - From morning to evening colors, Base Supply Corporal Michael Jennings' attire is always green shorts, Nikes and a green skivvy shirt, sources reported Friday.
"I saw him at the base ATM in PT gear this morning on my way to work, but then I saw him again in PT gear this afternoon when I went to supply to pick up my new boots," Private First Class Robin Greene reported, adding the Corporal never appears to be sweaty or have exercised at all.
