Acu Utility
Acu Utility
Why do we have so many different utility uniforms?
Why can't the various branches just work together and adopt one or two working uniforms instead of wasting all tax dollars to come up with their own? It's like we've time-warped 40 years into the past with each service running their own acquisitions separately! Seriously, how is the new AF BDU going to be fundamentally better than/different from ACUs and MARPATs? And WTF is the navy smoking coming up with yet another utility?
The Marines had it nailed early--the MARPAT greens and tans are perfect. No further development needed! I must say though, the Army ACU is pretty comfortable. I hear bad things about durability, but it was more comfortable than BDUs the instant I put it on. Not sure if I like having to spend another $20 for a set though. Grrr!
I guess every service wants to be distinct. I know EOD is a joint service career field and we are pushing for the joint service uniform. I dont like wearing my Air Force issue DCU's while the rest of my Army security team wears the new ACU. Kind of stand out when were outside the wire.
