We were told that only the gunners had to wear them. I ended up wearing mine around my head and pretending to be the pope. That's about all they were good for.
I don't like how she's stroking that helmet....
haha yeah that's awesome.
I LOVE my issue SWAZI wet weather pants........I need to get me a matching issue SWAZI wet weather jacket.
i know where some extra ones are bro.................
OK, put all your crap on and prepare for heat stroke and death!!
Wife constantly gives me crap about the deltoid flaps. Wants me to wear them. More armor = more better (according to her)
depending on where I was working and if I was mostly riding in trucks, I would probably wear more armor...but... I have mostly been walking/climbing and we really don't drive anywhere.
We had to scrounge for stuff, even used some of Mr. Charlie's stuff. Carried way too much, very little of personal gear (extra pair of socks (maybe), writing stuff and wallet).
Mate! Name your price bro.....the SWAZI ones are getting hard to come by since the contract got moved to China.
Well we might want to get used to it for awhile. Given the DoD's budgeting issues I reckon that the ACU will be around for awhile...
Quite honestly I find shameful that some countries with smaller Armies and hence smaller defense budgets, can issue better and more useful Camo schemes (I'm talking to YOU Croatia). It is also my humble opinion that digital camo schemes are a fad. Every Army now MUST have the digital look or else they just don't look cool and professional.
Of all the Digital Patterns out there, I find only three are tactically sound. Croatia:

Canada (Amazing that Canada, after years of being a Olive Army could be spot on with a useable Camo pattern)
and the MARPAT design used by the USMC. Apparently they used the CADPAT design as an inspiration.
I would prefer to see the US Army go to the ATAC FG pattern. I have set of these and I think they are absolutely amazing.
What's your opinion on Multicam. I have seen these against every terrain except snow and they blend really well.
Hmmm well I have had them issued as part of RFI but I haven't really much chance to use them. I've seen the ATACS in the field and they seem to do just fine.
However, I would have to agree with you. If I can't have ATACS, then Multicam will do just as well. It's sort like getting a choice of station between Italy and Japan, it's almost win-win either way.
