ABU uniform for Civil Air Patrol

[Garibaldi]

What year is Civil Air Patrol going to switch to ABUs because I think that we have really used BDUs for a long time and they are getting very old?

Being a math nerd I factored in how long did it take us to go to BDUs. I am guestimating ABU 1st quarter FY 2024.

Show your work. I am getting 2050...

2258. You forgot to carry the 1.

Well, that gives me a little more time to lose these last few pounds to be legit to wear 'em.

Guess what isn't authorized for the AF under any circumstances. . .

BDU's!!!!!!

It was published in August of last year! That means it was taken even earlier.

How about we do a little research before we start with the fangs?

FWIW, the URL also says multicam, so maybe this was a test wear situation. They sure don't look like woodland BDUs to me.

Yeah...them's not BDUs. That's multicam. Which we will probably never ever get.

[abdsp51]

OECP is only authorized in Afghanistan per reporting instructions for the area it is not a test wear.

I don't recall stating anyone in the picture was wearing BDU's.

Just felt like throwing in an awesome semi-relevant pic is all.

Then why did you mention BDUs in the post at all? That just confused what you were trying to say.

[Equinox]

Just read the posts leading up to that one.

and you  think that buying a set of ABU's is costly; for some reason there is an automatic $10-$40 increase pewr item to anything multicam.... easily
