Some of the functional design changes look very well-considered, too.
Our brave troops around the globe deserve the best equipment possible.

I’ll have nightmares tonight after seeing camos. I used to have to wash, starch, and iron the old ones for my husband. I hated them!!!!

We seemingly change combat unifroms every time we swap out the Command Sergeant Major of the Army....

This one will be tossed in a few years as well. The burden goes to the troops, who have to buy all new uniforms every time the pentagon feels a breeze...

Plain Stupid.

Any uniform pattern will be less than ideal-all we need is a good design (meaning cut, pockets where they make sense and proper material-like flame/blast resistant yet cool enough to be reasonable) who cares what “color and camo pattern” they are for the most part.

I was watching an Army-Navy game a few years ago on TV and when the camera panned the stands from one of the ends of the field. It looked as though a good chunk of the bleachers had no people in them. I felt sorry for the football players because this was their big game and it looked like a third of the stadium had no people in the seats.

Then they did a close up of what I thought were empty seats, only to realize that the stadium was indeed filled with soldiers wearing camo.

My daughter, wife, and I drive through Crystal City (near the Pentagon) every morning on the way to work and school. One morning, my wife commented that she didn’t recall seeing so many soldiers before. (It was after 9/11). My precious 8 year old immediately said, “that’s because they’re all wearing camouflage mommy.” It was a proud moment for me.

>>The new uniform is also fire resistant, according to the PEO Soldier Web site.

Wow!

Has any one seen the new Navy camos?

If they use them on board ships and fall off I sure hope they have dye packs, strobes, and an ELT because they will never be found without them.

Lets not even get into the new uniforms my Air Force has. Ugh!

Now if they just dump the zipper and all that velcro, they’ll be set.
