I noticed in the video that soldiers are wearing a new camo pattern.  Looks more like the woodland camo of my day rather than that ACU digi-crap.
yea Ranger, i just went through RFI today (re-issue for deployment) and we got everything brand new in the Multicam pattern.

Wow I never thought the Multi Cam would work so well.  I saw some at the store I was like why are they getting rid of the ACU's for Multi Cam.  To me it didnt make sense.  When I watch Restrop I thought the ACU's looked/worked great.  It seemed to blend in well and broke up everyones body outline pretty well.  After seeing motherlands Post I am impressed with the Multicam.

anyone whose ran around in the woods fora bit can see that the acus aren't that good. the only way I could see em workin is once they've been faded they blend better, other than that cant wait to get Multicam as the standard uniform. (which I hope will happen)

The thing about those multicam pics though is that those individual uniforms were chosen specifically for those pics.  Look how much orange is on the uniform of the desert pic.  I bet if you swapped that uniform out with one of the ones from the other pics, it wouldn't magically blend in so well.  Still though, I like it better than the ACU.

Here's a pic of me in South America.  I don't think the good ol' woodland camo did so bad.

Was SOP down there during training to keep them out in case you fell into some ungodly vegged over hole and were too f'ed up to dig it out of your gear for signaling purposes.  Things like that aren't implemented for the fun of it either.  It means something happened prior serious enough to make it SOP (just during training).

I was laughing because I have a few of those old school lights.

Wasn't sure if they issued them anymore. (Since 95)

USRanger if you see the new Multicam it is more brown than green.  Kinda a dry earth brown atleast that is what I saw.
