Camoflage Uniforms

Well, the US Marines went and got themselves a new camo uniform and now the Army and Air Force are jumping on the bandwagon. Looks like each US service will have it's own distinctive pattern. Isn't this carrying things a bit far?

On a related note, how long will the basic DPM pattern soldier on in the UK?

If you look closely at the 'new' USMC dot pattern DPM. It ;looks remarkably like the dot camouflage of the Waffen SS from the late 1930's

I figure the American Army needs a new camie uniform. I think it should be blue jeans, flannel plaid shirts, red wing boots, brown leather belt with a choice big buckle. Either a cowboy hat or no hat and tank top t-shirt. The ruck sack should be kept with the addition of pork n beans, sour mash bottle, and some tobaccie.

It all seems very strange to me, surely you want to have the best camo, rather than just a distinctive pattern? And besides, when everyone else goes to copy the US types, they won't know which one to pick

Sounds good to me

I prefer boardies, no shirt,sunnies, slab under one arm, long board under the other

DPM is DPM. Don`t like the recent British version, the material looks like it was made by the lowest bidder

Chunky, the "dot" patern was called "Autumn Woodland" or similar. It`s probably still available in a certain establishment on the Mile End Road.
If not, don`t try Marks and Sparks

SR Aye, companion,

The new Marine pattern called MARPAT is eerily effective. I think the digital pattern is more like the Canadian pattern than German flekertarn(sp?).
The new Air Force pattern is ridiculous though. Blue tiger stripes?!!

I Tried google but was useless!
