I didn't know they made 'em. Or are these self modded?

That looks like regular ABU's to me. Hadji tailor most likely added some pockets

As much as each service was gunning for its own unique uniform (completely, ironically, against the warm and fuzzy 'joint' concept they push), seeing the ABUPAT and ACUPAT practically blend in together really begs the question of how much the Air Force wasted by not simply adopting the ACU. We've seen numerous Airmen wear it, Navy SEALs, Navy EOD, and Navy-to-Army augmentees, and even the rare Marine. And SERIOUSLY, seeing as how MARPAT, ACUPAT/UCPAT, and the new Navy pattern are ALL pixellated, why didn't the USAF follow suit?

It's a pixellated tiger stripe.

Because as you know-the USAF are a bunch of rebels! J/K. Don't you miss the days when everyone had woodland BDU's?

I don't see any mag pouches, or any other pouches for that matter, kinda weird. He does have a d/l with an m9 too.

Whats the story on this photo?

Why is "RAID" always capitalized?
