I guess a uniform manufacturer is ready for their quid pro quo

This is ridiculous. The uniform system doesn’t need to be complicated. This is all so contractors can make millions that can be funneled into other pockets in kickbacks.
On a side note, it’s ridiculous for the Navy to have blue camo. They’re on ships. If the enemy sees the ship they know you’re there. If you’re not on the ship you’re not needing blue camo.
This whole logistics deal is stupid.

Blue camo makes sense for the navy as it makes it harder for the enemy to see you if you fall overboard.

If youre not on the ship youre not needing blue camo. Yes. The blue camo is especially handy to be wearing should you happen to fall overboard. It really helps them locate you in the water!

I am guessing that there will be a lawsuit from one of the commercial manufacturers over the similarity in patterns.

Are tanks and artillery going to get new camouflage to match The New Army's diktats as well?
To: null and void
I’m finishing up Ken Burn’s `Civil War’ on Netflix:
There was a story of the Union Army buying a large lot of boots for the infantry, but the shoes fell apart after just a couple hours of marching.
The manufacturer explained, “We thought these were meant for the cavalry ... “
Narrator: “During the war overnment contractors could get from the Federal government just about any price they had the guts to ask for.”
Wonder what they’d think of 25 million for a camo pattern?

I would have expected to see some combination of Photoshop effects mixed with images of Benghazi witnesses in some of some sort of a mosaic pattern. This would be unbeatable due to the fact that when used it would make our military personnel nearly invisible. This is proven Obamatech. I’m surprised it isn’t being used here.

There is too much of a scheduling problem to get a group photo ,
the FED Govt. is unable to coodinate the monthly, or more frequent , lie detector tests for a group photo op.
