canadian bdu's vs. USA bdu's

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - canadian bdu's vs. USA bdu's

Posted: 12/4/2001 4:57:26 AM EDT

i've worn both and i like the canadian ones better. your still camo , and the butttons on the bdu's are bigger so you can open them with mits on. they're cheaper to buy here too. i've been on manhunt with my friends in various clothing and we alwways agree that the US look like pajamas, while the CAN look like a uniform.

plus plian green won't fade as noticably as camo, which will fade kinda quick.

CAN pants have a strorm flap that tucks inot your boot when you put them on, then the other outer parts ties like normal. our pockets (on jacket and pants) are huge.

Is that the same thing as cross-dressing and cruising gay bars?

You might want to keep your "pajama" comments to yourself untill you've actually earned the right to wear a uniform,spent a week in the same one because you were to busy hump'n your butt to change,sweated in one with a NBCW suit and gas mask on over it or bled in one.
That being said I prefer the old solid green Canadian one in the summer because the material is lighter and dries out on the march or run. The US bdu's are a heavier material and take longer to dry.
In the winter I would prefer the US bdu's for the same reason I wouldn't want to wear them in the summer.
I have a set of bdu's that I traded a green beret and numerous cold ones for in CFB Gagetown. I don't wear them often as all the rank badges,unit insignia and name tags are still on it and I don't want to ruin it. It's not to often a 1st Sergeant gives you a set of BDU's right out of his ruck.

manhunt is NOT gay bars, i'm seriously offended you even called me gay (yeah you hit a nerve, better exploit it).

So I take that to be a yes, my gay Canadian friend?[;)]

(You really should look up the word geek. In the US a geek is someone who says: "it's like paintball, but we play 24 hrs a day. and we don't have paintball guns cause we have better things to spend $$$$ on.")

Good luck. Hope you find that "man" you're looking for...

The combats (Canadian Army terminology) that I wore were solid green. They have since switched to what they call CADPAT (Canadian Disruptive Pattern).[rolleyes] I haven't seen the new combats yet but the gear is excellent from what I've heard.

The Canadian military must be even more tolerant than outr "dont ask dont tell" policy? Don't worry offroad, Mr. Right will come along some day.

I hear the latest thing in Canadian BDU's is the CADPAT pattern, but it is heavily restricted.

Huh,..Oh you guys have an Army?
I'm sorry, I didn't notice with all the support you're giving US since 9/11.
When the Canadians stop debating and make a decision, post it here.
Many of us would like to know if your with US or not.
Wait, maybe you already have and we couldn't care less.

We come and talk to you guys, you're all jumpy in the woods with your guns and such. we agrre to sstart the game the next day. we leave, you back to you compound, later that night, we come back (oddly enought ewe forget to tell you first) and sabotage all your tanks. we leave, you come out the next day and start up your big rigs, they blow all to hell, you're all declared dead cause you were alleither in the tanks or within a 100 feet of it. the judges declare you all dead. we come out and laugh our asses off. man, you guys....

The Canadian army is nice; I have served with them a few times in a few 'places'. However, I think most of us would rather hear the story about their prowess from someone who doesn't have to start the story with. "From what I heard..."

Now in all seriousness OffRoad:

I love Canada, but lets get real. The last time the Canadian government sent an armored column to put the Indians in their place, the armored vehicles broke down. In addition, the Snowbirds do not constitute an Air Force. As far as uniforms go, the old OD rip-stops from Vietnam were the most comfortable. They reissued them in the mid 80’s at FT. Hood for Honduras.

I have worked with the Canadian Army (Germany, NATO). I'll say this for them, they really come up with solid solutions to common problems. For example, while the US Army was looking for a scout bike (Kawasaki 250 in 1988), the Canadians went a different route. On one field exercise, I noticed MOUNTAIN BIKES slung on the rear gate of their APCs. While our "scouts" were tearing up the country side in LOUD enduros, the Canadians solved the problem, silently, for about $500. The US Army bikes were so lout, you had to wear a special noise-cancelling helmet just to hear. So much for "scouting."

Thanks QCMGR. One of the things that makes me proud to be Canadian is the willingness of our people to open their hearts and homes to total strangers in time of need. Especially in the Maritimes.
