Eh...not too shabby.  Looks tons better than the old school Class A Greens I had when I was in the Army.  Wonder if the AF brass is looking at this and going "hey...we need to change our stuff too!"

Reminds me; time to punch the retirement button before I have to change to yet another uniform/camo pattern (up to 5 at this point - seen BDUs, DCUs, ACUs, ABUs and am now on OCPs).

They should just focus on fighting God damn wars and creating more lethal soldiers who can survive on the battlefield, rather then constantly redesigning and issuing new uniforms.

Yes, but there's money to be had, man!

Big Camo/Big Uniform has sold the branches a load of horseshit for years now and I'd wager that ain't going to stop any time soon (lookin' at you especially ABUs - fucking green boots bullshit).  The eventual circle back to a total OD green set is almost guaranteed for at least one of the branches, I'd say.

Well, at least someone had the sense to chitcan the McNamara jungle boots.

Isn't the new Army look the old Army look?

I like it, though I think the bomber jackets should be reserved for when the USAF gets around to their own neo/retro revamp.

AFA the USMC goes, are they not already wearing the same service uniforms from WW2?

So back to what they should have been wearing for the last seventy years without ever having to have spent a minute or dollar on the fugly alternatives?  LMAO  :DD
