Yeah, that's the main reason to pick a camo pattern alright.

The really sad thing is, the people serving have to pay for the extra uniforms out of pocket.

Post by: Maverick on May 08, 2010, 03:02:27 PM: Yup I bought 5 sets of the permanent press class B "tans" when I graduated from ROTC. When I went to my OBC I found out that the wear out date for them was in less than 2 months. :frown:

I had just bought 4 sets of fatigues, the wash and wear permanent press style and they announce the Army is going to BDU's. :mad: I wore the fatigues until the actual final wear date. Usually I was the only one in formation with them on but it was my company. It did get me some looks from the BN Cmdr though.:devil

Later I had just purchased 6 sets of BDU's and had all the patches etc sewn on, then there is an announcement that there is going to be a change to the frickin shirt. :furious I still don't know what the heck it was but fortunately I ended up retiring before that wear out date arrived. :bolt:
