I'm glad the BDUs/DCUs are gone. Wash and wear is the way to go. We should have adopted the Marine uniform, though. Maybe in a different pattern. But the cut is better.

So we have gone from every branch using essentially the same Woodland BDU to every branch having their own special duds...granted, some are cooler than others but is it really cost effective or necessary?

I see no problem with an OD/woodland BU garrison uniform. Lose the velcro, It looks more professional.

Would it not make sense to pick a solid color for the uniform and armor carrier, and just swap out pouches, helmet covers, and knees elbow pads in different patterns?
Would that not be cheaper than different uniforms? Would that not make more sense than different uniforms with solid color gear? |

Yet somehow the IDF makes due with its same old puke green, from urban to deserts to mountains to forests and everything in between.
 I'm not a raging Israel fan, but I think they do show that we could have stayed with WW2-era uniforms and it wouldn't have made a substantive difference. |

The accessories cost more than the uniform does.
Hence the single pattern. The Marines use brown for the same reason. But the uniform you wear in garrison need have no bearing on the uniform you wear to war. I vote for polos and loafers. |

That's the way it was for decades: camo was for field/combat use only. I believe woodland was adopted for day-to-day wear partly as a way to boost morale.

When I was in ROTC my MS advisor was going to give a formal address to the Navy/Marine ROTC unit at the college I attended (my battalion was on a different campus and I was cross enrolled). It took me 10 minutes of polite and respectful talk to convince the Major that his Class A's were more suitable than his BDUs. I like the old Vietnam era khaki Army Class B. Best photo I can find:  |
