gypsy camp

A term used within the US Army Infantry to describe the appearance of an individual wearing improperly configured or poorly fitting gear. Typically in reference to the clanking/rattling sound the assorted pouches, loose straps, and dangling buckles make
when they move around, likening it to the clattering of pots and pans a horse-drawn gypsy caravan supposedly made. Looking like a gypsy camp typically denotes amateurish behavior and is seen as an indicator that said individual is unaccustomed to or inexperienced with performing their duties in the field.

You look like a goddamned gypsy camp, I could hear you from the other side of that ridge-line. Fix your shit!
