Still got a "shrunked up" set of them in the retired clothing closet. 

A few more pounds and this will fit comfortably. My dad gave me his old shirt from the 80s.

I hope he has his pants on

Why are you looking down there?

[Brad]

I know some people here already have ABUs.

The plumed hats and sabres are in the closet.

Like these?

[NIN]

Weaksauce.

More like this:



BTW, I think those belts are a player, too.  Mostly cuz they're a reversible PT belt...

Here you get the plumed hat and the bling:

... it seems like we are trying to copy what the air force use to use during Vietnam.

3. The USAF and US Navy still wear Woodland Camo.


Both are in phase out. The USAF replaced them with the ABU and the USN and USCG with the NWU. We will be one of the few who still wears them. (I think some SDF's still wear them?) I pray we just go back to OD Green. Wishfull thinking on my part I know, but its my dream so 

Actually the USCG isn't considering the NWUs and the desert camp is similar to the DCUs but are different, they are keeping the ODUs.

I didn't say they were ditching the ODUs. The USCG, when deployed wears the green or desert NWU. PSUs wear the NWU, MSST, wear the NWU, RAID teams wear the NWU, any USCG member when imbedded with another service wear the NWU... you get the drift.

And to complete the perfect necro post, I have tied in a bagpipe to go with the kilt/bagpipe thread....

I'm hoping to become a KT one of these days. Still need to get started on my York Rite stuff though, just a regular blue lodge Master Mason at the moment.

Uniform inspection protocol; I noticed something was missing between his gigline and his boots

Just started the Doctor Who episode "A Good Man Goes to War" and discovered something I hadn't noticed the last time I saw the ep. The military people are all wearing ABUs. And they aren't supposed to be Earthlings or anywhere near the 21st century.

It's the BDU of the Future.

Or so they say... That episode struck me as odd with the berets too.

Oh, and the altered AF logo...

This was the most recent, unlocked thread on the subject.

The Senate wants one pattern as well.  I'd say the writing is on the wall, and some sources say
the date is 2018.  So now you have both the house and the senate indicating they want a multi-service
combat uniform.  I may not have to buy that steak after all.

The writing is on the wall eclipse...

Unless CAP is deploying to Afghanistan any time soon, the Multi-cam style camouflage will be further away than the ABU uniform.

Medium or medium rare is what you should be concerned about.

Nice!

I know that whatever uniform they settle on, I'll wear it properly, and go on with our mission. Because that's what matters.

Bah! Typical!  A few more people with your attitude and we'd...oh, wait...

CAP's name tapes are actually being switched some time soon to a different color more like a greyish. The American flag on our shoulder is also being amen away as we'll I anticipation to the a is most likely in 2016-2018.
