What FIELD/COMBAT Uniform do you like best and why?

I selected BDU because that was the last uniform that all military services wore in the filed or in combat and was therefore the most Joint of all military service uniforms SSG Roger Ayscue I thought the OG-107 was the most comfortable uniform especially the "starchable" ones when out in the "field" when they had no starch .

It would either be the 107s or BDUs since they seemed pretty durable and did its job in the bush. No Velcro or zippers to wear our and I always sewed buttons back on. Green canvas jungles were the best boot, followed by my Cochrans. We took great pride in our appearance and looked very professional. I could shave in the reflection on my boots.

The chocolate chips should get honorable mention. They seemed heavy and had the extra flap of fabric sewn into the back that I recall hating. I had two sets of the old DCUs in Desert Shield/Storm and it was the only uniforms I had for the duration. Somehow they held up to everything a grunt could offer although the jungle boots eventually fell apart. By the time we returned to prep for our redeployment, I had worn the same thing for nine months. My toes were poking out from the boots and my t-shirts and socks had literally rotted away.

The ACU was garbage. The camo pattern is ineffective yet the Army said, "that's ok, we'll take it!" Even after studies outlined how it was not well suited compared to the other patterns. The Velcro...where to begin. And the stitching and fabric deteriorated so quickly. I don't know how many times I inadvertently...exposed myself. Someone somewhere made money from this deal.

Sumer weight BDUs and DCUs were my faves, lightweight and breathable...
