Multicams approved for wear in garrison starting 01 July 2015. Good or bad? What will your BDE or BN think?

It'll be a clustertruck like it was when you had BDUs/DCUs/ACUs and the myriad of combinations until the wear out dates were fully in effect. You will, just like always, have commands (CSMs), that will pressure there troops to "look more professional by getting on board ASAP with the new pattern" as it was with the ASUs and the cycle will continue. I do like the fact that the SMA has come out and stated that an undue burden should not be placed on the troops at least he is different than his predecessor in looking out for the troops, but we or rather ya'll will see.

I still remember back in 2005 in Germany, if you looked across our formations, you saw full BDU's, BDU's with tan shirts and tan boots and full ACU's. That transition period was an eyesore but we all learned to get use to it. I expect much of the same especially since the clothing and sales will have them at different times across the country.

Yep. My all time favorite uniform was BDU's with Tan boots, too. I didn't wear ACUs until the BDUs were officially phased out, either.

A small group of us broke out our BDU's, starched them up nice, shinned our boots one last time and wore the uniform on the last day of the wear out date. It was actually kind of sad. I still miss BDU's and highly shinned black boots.
