They stopped that to focus on transgender acceptance. Apparently they thought that would be more important to war fighting.

SN Terry Poynter there is no mental issue. Every trans person in the world knows exactly who they are and it doesn't matter if what they are now is different than what they were once told they were. They called me a boy when I was born, but I'm a woman now, I know who I am a lot better than you do, if you have a problem with it, that's your issue not mine, that is your issue to work on, that is your obstacle to overcome. And the suicide issue is not intrinsic to being trans, it is the result of bullying and lack of acceptance, particularly by people they are closest to.

You and others like you are the problem, put your mouth in check fire until you learn to act like a leader instead of a bully

Sounds like some member of Congress has a constituent (maybe a brother-in-law) in the camo fabric biz...

Marines do not need to dress like the Army, Navy and Airforce. The Navy does not need to wear the same pattern as the Army, Marines and Airforce. If the Airforce wants to wear the same as the Army that's their business. The Coast Guard will continue to wear dark Blue. Cops Wear dark blue or Black camies. They can all be made the same except for the Cloth color that's another matter that could be addressed. All Military Dress uniforms are different no reason why camie colors should not be.

We did that once. They were generally called BDUs and DCUs. What was wrong with those? Sounds like a lobbyist got to a bunch of folks. MONEY! KICKBACKS? Nahhhhh.

A1C Lexas Granger - Not a huge difference in the two other than the white spots. Yeah, a year makes a difference.

TSgt David L. I do believe the OCP should be universal in all branches if that’s the position they want to take. My first comment on this was to make variations of the uniform for each branch. But that’s my opinion and doesn’t really matter if you have your tags on at all times.

A1C Lexas Granger - It worked well with BDUs but everyone has spent a ton on service specific uniforms. We still might get back there someday.
