ralphwiggum 6 Posted June 14, 2004 Hey Ran if i'm right your French.I'd just like to congradulate you on a "lucky" win.... I'm not too much into football, but for once, we won a competition game against your team, just leave us this little pleasure, it happened so rarely we always owned friendly matches but always lost the other important ones ;) yeah. although someone would have been proud to break away from tradition.

ralphwiggum 6 Posted June 14, 2004 wow..you are taking it very nicely now. you won't even put up a fight. Pierre would have been proud. anyways, seriously, i prefer buttons as well. when zippers go wrong, they really go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pierre would have been proud. anyways, seriously, i prefer buttons as well. when zippers go wrong, they really go wrong. I remember once, in Djibouti, I had messed around all day long with a M64 vest on, at the end of the day, the zip was fubar and the only way to leave the damned thing was to brake the zip... I had to pay a new vest with my paycheck then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redliner47 0 Posted June 14, 2004 I have had horrible luck with buttons and snaps, especially the ones on my LBE. The little snap buttons on the bottom where you hook up the musette pouches always break and fall off, i have to fix them with a little chisel thing i made. These really dont look that bad in the way of efficiency, although i do like the marpat a little better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redliner47 0 Posted June 14, 2004 im predicting the collar is going to be one of those things no one wears unless its cold or something. This pattern is supposed to be a compromise between urban, woodland and desert so the army wont have to switch all the time. on the other hand, it sure does stick out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billybob2002 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Quote[/b] ]June 14, 2004 WASHINGTON (Army News Service, June 14, 2004) Â The Army will be fielding a new combat uniform designed by NCOs and tested by Stryker Brigade Soldiers in Iraq since October. On the Army's 229th birthday, senior leadership introduced the Army Combat Uniform during a Pentagon cake-cutting ceremony. Soldiers were on display, suited-up in the wrinkle-free uniform with a digitized camouflage pattern. Three different versions of the ACU have been developed, and more than 10,000 uniforms have been produced and dragged through the sand in Iraq and at Army training centers. Even more are on American production lines to be issued by April 2005 to Soldiers in deploying units. Fielding to the total Army should be complete by December 2007, said officials from the Program Executive Office, known as PEO Soldier. There were 20 changes made to the uniform, to include removing the color black and adapting the digital print from the Marine Corps uniform to meet the needs of the Army, said Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Myhre, the Clothing and Individual Equipment noncommissioned officer in charge. They must be working...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
