New BDUs

Jumping on the bandwagon, the Air Force is phasing in new Battle Dress Uniforms. Via Air Force Link:
 



I always liked the tiger-stripe pattern, used to wear them regularly when we were on duty on the DMZ in the early eighties. It's the way we set ourselves apart from the rest of the Air Force weenies, grunts, and jarheads. Well, that was until some congressman came to visit and we reminded him too much of Vietnam, so that was the end of tiger-stripe for AF SOCOM PJs and TACP FACs in the Far East. I like 'em though, but more importantly, I hope the troops do.
