yeah, those of us with bellies know you just got to have a belt, I assume if you don't usually wear one you are one of those skinny guys
I got a 511 TDU belt which is their thinner basic nylon belt and it is great and only $10. You might need something stouter for your training class but I seriously doubt it, and I know they work fine for everyday wear.
And somehow I'm thinking if he doesn't wear a belt he is not going to want to be sporting some of those "Al the sidekick" yardstick suspenders
