...and it's gone.

The Department of Defense has announced that after years of study and consultation with all the branches of the Armed Service, it has chosen its new Common Combat Uniform.  "The pattern we have selected has proven itself in the field time and time again.  It's both revolutionary and battle-tested.  We hope to start deployment of the Woodland Camouflage pattern within a year..."

With that presentation that was given at the National Board General Assembly, and six months later they come out and say they're not bothering, seems like there is a lot more to it than that.

It's only going to get worse for uniform supply and more so quality when there's no real compelling demand for a uniform item made to spec.

Perhaps he said it so people would just stop asking for/about it.

Perhaps, but then to only come out with it after that, would prove what many people say.. Transparency from NHQ is .. just plain not there. Something I at least sort of get the impression that the current National CC would like to do something about.

Two steps forward, 42 steps backwards. You'd never make progress with that.

Sure you will.  If you take 42 steps backwards sooner or later you will circumnavigate the globe and end up ahead of where you started

My original comment was meant to be a conspiracy joke and not to be taken with any grain of salt.

Reminds me of an old joke...

What should you take, a watch that falls behind a second a day, or a watch that is broken and does not run?

The punch line is that you should take the broken watch as it will be correct two times a day every day, and the watch that falls behind is correct only once in... I don't know how many years!
