I was just notified by a few buddies still in that a MILPER message was recently released authorizing wear for CONUS, is this true?
Does your wife approve of that statement?I would LOVE to get out of ACUs, I hope this is true.
My buddies in Regiment have not confirmed this yet, I got others looking into it.
-Word of mouth from a former S-1 buddy the other day.
Did you wash your ACU's upon return and before you dressed her? Nothing like accumulated "Manly odour" to get a girl excited....She never liked wearing ACUs either
I heard Defender M squared this away??.........................As far as I know they haven't started issuing out the multi can to the basic training pvts, usually they start with them. Back in August we were supposed to get the Multicam/ new uniform but they held off because of fire retardency test, or at least that's what they told us. I will keep my ear to the ground.
The Army should have learned from the Marines and purchased plate carriers and pouches in Coyote or even OD like the Rangers. That way no matter what the color/ pattern du jour you wouldn't have to replace everything OR leave the MULTICAM for the carriers and such and drive one with a different uniform.
FFS, this is a COMBAT unifrom, you don't need to perfectly match like you're going to the prom or some episode of Queer Eye for the Warrior Guy.
"Oh. My. GOD, Sergeant!!!!! Can you believe they want us to wear this multicam with our new pixiliated tan-based, desert-specific, flame-resistant combat uniform thingies?"
"I know, right? I mean...like the fabrics don't even match! 1000D Cordura IOTV with 1000 and 500 Cordura pouches on top of this FR ripstop fabric? We might as well wear horizontal and vertical stripes!"
"Yeth...but at least vertical stripes wouldn't make you look like a member of the "Additonal PT prograaaammmm."
(Pouting)"Its genetics, I can't help it if I'm big-boned."
"There, there, Sergeant, it's alright. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. That was rude of me. Can I make it up to you with a grande double soy latte, half-caff with a skinny cow?"
It needs reflective yellow in there somewhere.
lol, ma' badDamnit I was just about to post that!!
Notice the Multicam/Marpat guys are standing behind foliage, everyone else is in front.They could use this to make their case but I hope they don't choose the bunny...View attachment 7869
