What do you think about the Army's new ACU combat uniform?

I love the concept, but it needs improvement still.\n\nAs a US soldier myself who spent some time in Iraq, I can tell you that the new uniform is a much needed change. With the old uniform, all your pockets were covered up by body armor rendering them useless. Now they are mounted on the shoulders for easy access. The feel of the new uniform is better as well, kind of like your wearing pajamas or something.\n\nI still think they need to make some changes though. The uniform fell apart after only six months of use. Maybe some reinforced seams would do the trick.\n\nBesides durability issues, I wouldn't change a thing.\n\nAlright, you guys. Here is the Army regulation on boot blousing. This excerpt was taken from AR670-1 3-6-c:\n\nc. Soldiers will wear the trousers bloused, using the draw cords or blousing rubbers, if the trousers are not tucked into the boots. Personnel will not wrap the trouser leg around the leg tightly enough to present a pegged appearance. Soldiers will not blouse the boots so that the trouser leg extends down to the ankle area. When bloused, the trousers should not extend below the third eyelet from the top of the boot. When soldiers wear the sleeves of the coat rolled up, the camouflage pattern will remain exposed. Personnel will roll the sleeves neatly above the elbow, no more than 3 inches above the elbow.

Angles...ha ha, that's hilarious..imagine the lawsuit on that one!\n\nAnyway, how about the Assassins? A nice red and black color scheme with a skull on the helmet...maybe a bit XFLish, but it would be great marketing for that 18-24 year old male demographic.\n\nAlternates could be the L.A. Arsenal or the Fighting Lemurs of Los Angeles.

If it's a light "baby blue" it's probably a United Nations beret.\n\nDoes it look like this --> http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/uniforms2/un-beret.jpg

Im in the Army also and I truely believe the Army is treating soldiers with less dicipline now days. For instance, theyre giving soldiers wekkend passes during basic training, letting them smoke cigarettes and now "stress cards", what the hell is that? Ive noticed with the new privates comming into our unit, they treat the NCO's very disrespectful. I know I got my a$$ smoked if I even talked back to them in the wrong way. The Army and the country is going to hell i swear! Everthing's so screwed up now!

The combat action badge goes 1/4 inch above the left breast pocket on his dress greens centered.\n\nIf you have his combat uniform it goes 1/4 inch above the US Army plate centered\n\nMy deepest respects

The combat patch goes on the right shoulder and it should go opposite the way it fits on the left shoulder.  Take a look at how the Division CSM is wearing his patch.  Just reverse to go on the other side.\n\nWhen in doubt, call Marlowe White at 1-800-255-6136.  While they are a commercial company, they have been making uniforms since Washington crossed the Delaware (okay since 1879) and they will give you the straight skinny.  They are good folks.  \n\nMy last source shows the awarding of the combat patch to the Rainbow Division.  Congratulations.

Blue and yellow? Give me a break yo. How can anyone not barf over those colors. Personally I like the Heat's red uniform (not a heat fan, but still cool). \nI also think the Clippers need new unis. They are UGLY! I am finally getting used to Torontos red unis, but the purple ones need to go. Bad. \nThe Pacers with the pinstripes that reggie used to wear were pretty kewl.\nAnd even though this is way off topic, the Chargers and the Redskins need new uniforms too. They are so ugly, I don't think you could pay me enough to wear one. Uhhhhh!

Yes Anaheim is no longer Mighty Ducks which ends the Disney reign for good...Anaheim Ducks was the logical choice and the new colors and jersey seem pretty cool...yes coming up with a mascotish jersey would have been preferable but then again how do you make a Duck look mean yet not cartoonish since that is the image the Ducks are trying to leave behind...so they went with the webbed D and the jersey design is pretty sweet...i understand that there will be shoulder patches added...so stay tuned...as for another Anaheim name....Ducks is fine with me...been a Mighty Duck for so long and dealt with the ridicule that Disney brought down on the NHL so Ducks by itself seems to fit....and it's a great fit!!!  Go Ducks!!!\n\n                                       Jason

Yes again.  This is Army protocal and not changing any time soon.  Beleive me the Sargeant Major is receiving just as much respect from the (snot nosed, wet behind the ears) 2Lt. as he him self is, if not more.  Saluting and saying sir or Sgt. Major are out of respect for the rank.  And everyone respects the top shirt or Sgt. Major for there service.

I think that if the dress code is business casual, then the men should be able to wear kilts.  That would be cool! Easy access- I wish the kilt would make a comeback.  I think they're really great.

Agreed with the general sentiments about it.  There's too many teams moving to "red'ish" uniforms.  The look like a combo between the Nationals & Astros.  I thought their purple and greenish/aqua color scheame was very fresh and unique.  \n\nIf there is anything positive to say about it, I think their aways are okay; not great, but okay.  Here's a thought for an original look in red.  Why don't any of these teams wear the red pin stripes with the grey aways.  I think that would look pretty unique, and fresh.  ...the D-Backs should have done that.

well, a green beret is a HAT, for one thing.   I suppose you mean Army Special Forces?  Why does every kid always want to know about Navy Seals, Rangers, Special Forces, Force Recon?  From all the video games, right? Hey, get a life-really, special operations units are all different and they all operate will different objectives in mind- no one is "better" than the others- who's tougher? who's badder?  Who cares?  They could all kick your video-game-playing arses.  Hell, a fat female army Specialist working as an admin clerk could whip up on you.

I think a uniform is more fair practice. It puts everyone on an equal playing field by removing the quest of designer clothes to be popular. Kids are at school to learn, not for a fashion show. (Yikes I just quoted the Fresh Prince of BelAir)
