From what I was lead to believe it was just 173rd that was approved to use Multicam and some SF were already using it. But I don’t think the whole Army was approved for Multicam? I could be wrong? I’m hoping the whole Army goes Multicam, it’s what they should have went with in the first place and it would be great for business! But then I would be stuck with all this UCP crap…..

I have to say, being Canadian, it’s nice to be looked to for something, even if it is just our CADPAT.

I was with the Marines but was in the Army later. This is common knowledge when the Marines adopted the MARPAT uniforms they didn’t blindly accept outright. They did some intensive study and consulting with the Canadians before making a decision to use a digital pattern when they realized the patterns were very effective, hence what we’re using the now. The fiasco with UCP indicates the Army leadership just decided to put a pattern together without any real testing and evaluation to determine if the pattern would work. This is why alot of soldiers are bitching about it and now they’re trying to pull out all the stops in developing a pattern that will work. Their current focus is trying to find a pattern that will work in Afgahnistan. What they need to do is find something that will work in all in environments. If there is one thing that most would agree on is the guys on the ground shouldn’t pay the price for the stupidity of the decisions made by individuals who probably never set foot in the field ever during their time uniform.

I definitely agree with all stated above. I have been in four years, and yes, am staying in another four, and the waste and abuse of the US government astounds me. I believe in tradition, and the independent identity of each service. But I also believe there is NO need for individual working uniforms. Dress uniforms? fine. be different, have pride, and have the attitude that you are better than whatever other service is out there. But as for fighting? Two tours in iraq have taught me one thing. UCP army only blends into one thing. American Concrete. But now with delta I guess it will blend into Brown Concrete. Good job.

And SPC miller? You can tell you are a Specialist. And not a Corporal, or real leader. You can always tell the difference in the army if someone is a leader at that rank. you probably just graduate college and picked up that rank right out of basic instead of earning it.
