So fox is reporting that the Army has jumped on the bandwagon and is reviewing all gender specific titles. The sad part with this, the Army will absolutely go full fucking retard with it. That "lets get in front of this thing" old Army mentality, wanting to "set the example" for all other services. Making all soldiers passed and present scream out WTF, while the brass and their career staffers make the rest of us look like complete buffoons.
Not to change subjects but add some insight. I remember seeing several units at JRTC FT POLK 2003, wearing multicam, the rest of us were BDU/DCU. There was a big stink about how several officer didn't like the multicam because it looked like a European uniform. Fast-forward to 2005 and the Army roll's out the ACU's, every soldier in the Army was saying WTF, except for a group of officers in the Army times commenting on how futuristic it looked and how it will be better for the Army due to our urban operations, etc. Meanwhile all the other branches laughed at us (well except the USAF). So 11 years later, the Army is rolling out a new uniform, its not multicam (can't let those other officer be wrong) but its as close as you can get to multicam, without paying the royalties to the people who designed the pattern. So with our new "almost" multicam uniform, our lady Rangers, Infantry'its, we boldly head into the future of gay marriage in dress uniforms, transgendered equality classes, and a new improved "warrior" motto of the decade.
What The Fuck?

The Army designed OCP as an original contender in the UCP comparison/competition. When the ARMY owns the design versus Crye, there's a leetle bit o difference in how much it costs to get joe wearing something that works... The fact that you're complaining about it is somewhat inane. You could always just keep wearing UCP.
I'm not complaining about the design, but more so the method, or lack there of, in the process. The whole ordeal was turned into a shit sandwich, that ended up with troops wearing gravel camo, to turn around and go with the same basic pattern that was being tested in 2003.
I don't wear a uniform anymore, just making my complaints on how things are done is all.
We could have just stuck with BDUs, that's what OCPs look like anyway; BDUs that you've had for six months.
