May kind of crack ate you smoking? The safety belt is the best armour available, it is like solid steel against anything and everything

What was wrong with the BDU's? Great uniform with tons of stuff available for it that you can get anywhere. ABU's, by the way, are lie wearing a garbage bag. Down here in Mississippi you'll sweat them through in a day. My BDU's full of starch didn't do that. And the sage green boots are horrible. I have milk that lasts longer, and you can't clean them. Just because assholes can't polish stuff doesn't mean we should accept shitty boots. 12 million we spent and now we have to develop something else? Bullshit.

Army and marines to someone who doesnt know any better are closer looking together and the airforce looks like the army's colors it's just a different pattern.

But man man man servie men i've spoken to said they all find them pretty fucking useless.

Even more useless? The safety belt.
Agreed, the navy's are the best looking.

The AF's are the ugliest. Why the fuck did they pick those colors? About the only time I could see those colors "blending in" with anything is if an enemy attacked an airfield on foot, and our airmen took cover behind planes and hangers.

Thing is, most of our hangers are painted regular green (read BDU green) not sage green. ABU's don't blend into shit.

Oh, and the guys and girls that would be around the airplanes and hangers wear blue coveralls.

Just hope that they don't go for the bloody wedge. No one looks good in a wedge.

Well, except my drill sergeant, but then she looked good in everything right down to nothing.

Truth. I'm ok with it for the dress uniform though.

Agreed again. Only thing I like about the ACU over the BDU is the calf pocket on the pants.

I can acquiesce to that, preferable to the cunt caps. I still have my old one issued to me in BCT, along with my original green pickle suit.

I don't think I even have a cunt cap anymore...
Have my original greens (not even close to fitting) and then my current sized greens (with 6's on them, not dropping 'em down to my current 5)
ASU's are getting altered as we speak. Got lucky and got them ordered before I went AGR, so I didn't have to pay for them, and the unit is being nice (since it took forever to get them) and covering the alterations as well!
