Looks good with the A's, but like shit with the ACU's IMO.
And besides, it's a combat uniform... why would you wear a beret to combat?

how it is a combat uniform? it doesnt match shit and the velcro gives away your position any chance it gets. acu's suck period. anytime i gotta be in the bush ive got a soviet ghille that works amazing because they (unlike us) actually care about what works tactically not what gets people to sign up

Nope.. we went with COSCOM.

When we mobilized, we integrated with the active component guys when the COSCOM headquarters deployed (hooray multi-compo units... for the record.. it's a bad idea

). We were at LSA Anaconda (Balad AB).

I'll be stationed here for 3 years. I have absolutely no idea where my next base is gonna be but I'm gonna try for Eglin/Hurlburt/Tyndall. I've got a surrogate family in Fort Walton Beach.

Just wait until you see your first sailor in the new NWU. If he's actually swimming in the ocean, you'll never spot him.

That's almost as bad as that blue Air Force BDU they tried to get approved. Almost.

it looks much better than the abu's do... I saw a guy in a pair on Osan the day I left... not bad... definatly blue

but they look like they're quality made... not the value village shit we have

Supposedly the new ones will be better. At least they're not ACU's, those things are peices of shit.
