Good to know the Marian reforms haven't hit the US yet ....I have to cough up a lot of money for those things.
he Army revealed on Monday a redesigned combat uniform with a digital camouflage pattern that looks strikingly different from soldiers' current battle dress uniforms.
The pattern is actually good at distance!Faram wrote:Well the Swedish army atleast has a nicer uniform.
I'm guessing the bright red neon bullseye is optional.MKSheppard wrote:Yep......
The uniform is being produced in a single, universal pattern to replace the two camouflage versions in current use: tan-brown for desert use and green-brown-black for woodland settings.
Yep, this works GREAT:

HEY! You need zippers on dress uniforms too! Kinda important seeing as that's what I'm wearing 80% of the time...Deathstalker wrote:I'm glad I'm out of the Army. The color sucks all the way around, should have stuck with two diffrent environment colors. I don't mind velcro, but zippers belong on flight suits and Navy blue jeans and no wear else in the military! The new boots may not be to bad, especially the no need to polish part.
Actually, if this guy ever needs to conceal himself near the marble staircase in the Supreme Court, he's got it made!MKSheppard wrote:Yep......

With which to dress its what, single active brigade is it now?Faram wrote:Well the Swedish army atleast has a nicer uniform.
That looks like it would do real well in a very dense lush forest, such as cover much of Sweden. But I don't think it would work to well in most of the world, which tends to be far more brown then green.
I think you're confusing the Swedes with the Swiss.JME2 wrote:The thing for me is, how can you trust an army, how good is an army, that has a wine-opener on it's knife?MKSheppard wrote:The pattern is actually good at distance!Faram wrote:Well the Swedish army atleast has a nicer uniform.

Enlisted men get a uniform stipend with their paycheck, although it isn't much. Officers front the money from their pay. Moreover, because of my next assignment, I've got to buy a bunch of Class B uniforms. Looks like they are going to let us phase out the old BDUs over the next few years, which should lessen the impact on the wallet. The same thing happened when they introduced the new PT uniforms.Faram wrote:Damn you have to buy your own uniform?

Aren't you concerned that some genius will decide to pain the same type of patter on all of the tanks? This pattern is supposed to be good everywhere so they wouldn't have to change the colors on the tanks when going from forest to desert either.Hasler wrote:This uniform makes me happy that my first choice of branch is armor.
I feel really sorry for the infantry types. They arnt going to blend into anything.
