The transition to digitized camo patterns was largely a waste of time and money. The Marines had a good idea when they stuck to woodland and desert themes with their patterns. The Navy and the Air Force, wtf? Digital tiger stripe, and winter weights for the first couple of years? Blue and black pixelation?
The powers that be should’ve stuck with the BDU, polished boots and pressed uniforms. Woodland or desert depending on location, if units like Security Forces or MPs really wanted to feel special in garrison, urban. But what do I know, I just fix multimillion dollar jets when a Major with a degree in zoology can’t figure out that his ground communication doesn’t work when the switch is in OFF.
Actually, it was working as advertised. Used to love the idjit pilot trainees that sat on the flightline in Florida heat, playing with the RADAR without cooling air.
its nothing to do with the color, the camo, the type of material, etc.....follow the money....everytime they need to pay somebody back, our military gets new uniforms, or hats, or guns, etc...somebody is reaping a big fat paycheck...
Ah aviation
Were high school drop outs fix the mistakes of college graduates.
Though most of the mechs I work with do have a degree or two, but they have their heads on straight.
