No point in shaming others for not having a skill. If your sergeant didn't like it they ought to have sat you down with a needle and thread and trained you themselves.
I've got a pair I need to do that with. Both those back off-center loops are used far too often to hike up my pants, and both are broken on my oldest but still serviceable pair.
I bought a roll of nylon thread that's so strong I can't rip it with my hands. Been using it to mend so many cheap seams and am always so proud of myself.

Ah, I'm sorry if it seemed like I assumed that. I'm sure he'd have happily taught you these things if his job allowed the time for it.

Yeah, my mind skipped the J and went straight to ROTC. WHY IS THIS SERGEANT NOT TEACHING A GROWN ADULT HOW TO FIX HIS UNIFORM oh right

Had you known how to sew, you could have mended that rip!

it's amazing how I could immediately identify which loops you are referring to and have repaired a few of my own for similar reasons.

Hiking these up is what did this as well. Losing some weight finally maybe.
