You're so old school you probably had a plain olive drab uniform at one point...

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Word is Rgt (and I would assume the rest of USASOC too) is gonna be wearing these by next year and the rest of the Army is gonna switch to Multis. You know how accurate the "word on the street" is though.
Personally I really like the design, from the pics I've seen it seems to work pretty well.
I've wondered why they never switched to this...

Money.
Multicam and Atacs are designer stuff. Sounds expensive and it is expensive, but the army already has and is issuing Mulitcam so how much more would it cost to design yet another pattern. They make my brain hurt.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
Exactly, multicam is an excellent patern and the soldiers love it, it will cost 10x as much and take 10x as long to develop a new pattern than to just continue issuing multicam

I agree here... our combined ops pre-deployment (in country) training at Bagram was with a Marine unit, and they were wearing the desert Marpat- we were, what's the word the kids use these days? 'so jelly!' My rifle case for my AR is Marpat, everyone who asks me "Oh you were in the marines?" I just say 'nope, army, but I'm smart enough to realize a better pattern.' My shooting bag is still my old ACU assault pack though.

I still prefer my old tiger stripe BDUs. I have some older ones with a little fading that blend very well, even here in Colorado... just saying
Now wait a minute!!! I had Olive drab when I went in in 1974 at Ft. Dix. Does this make me old? eeekkk I guess it doesYou're so old school you probably had a plain olive drab uniform at one point...
