Living the dream
He's lucky they didn't just replace the whole thing. I HATE it when the FE guys try to gank one of my bags just when I've got it all broken in the way I like it and have the velcro where it needs to be. They keep telling me it's about fire retardant. Yeah, whatever.
Keep the FOD flap. Otherwise your CO/MO/QAO/DOSS will more than likely call you on it anyway and make you look like the "salty new guy", and not in a good way.
Had a few guys (Marines) in my primary squadron do that crap and were called on it...had to get them fixed.
I've used that "tampon string" so many times for stuff. Currently a piece of it holds my pencil to my kneeboard.
No, they aren't.
Agreed. My Maglight lives in the pocket there and I've kept the string on "just in case." If SERE taught me anything, it's you can't have enough parachute cord...even if you aren't being chased by Russian rednecks with AKs.
I still have the "string" on one of my flight suits --- 36 years after it was issued .... 
It was useless for us because it was under the G suit so it became part of our FNG initiation was to be first to yank it off the new guys' flight suits without warning in Ready Room. It's an art because you have to pull it hard and clean to get off in one pull. No style points for incomplete pull and no grade if you rip the flight suit in the process.
Kinda backfired when 3 helo bubbas came by the Ready Room and before they knew it, 3 flaps came off with a quick, smart ripping noise, followed by clatter of their knives falling out of the flap and bouncing across the floor still attached to their tampon strings. It was a tense standoff for awhile as they thought we were intentionally ruining their flight suits. I think the 3 "yankers" were on the double secret "No pick-up" or "Pick-up last" list after that.
That list is far beyond the classification of this forum.
So it's not a rumor then! It there a "hoist and then dip" list (for eel/shark and other denizen-infested waters)?
I cannot comment on the existence or non-existence of such a list.
However, to answer your question that procedure is appropriately called tea-bagging and it is taught in the RAG.

They are the Tetley gang. We have a few on our list at the moment here at 42.

I knew helo guys were gay. Freakin teabaggers...
