I see that Staff Creative Writing trophy moving to its new home in Aimlesses’ cubicle once the awards committee sees this post.
He’s gonna sober up to glory in the morning. |

Man I wanted some of that stuff so bad looking at it in my US Calvary catalog back in the 90s. That and the West German snow camo!
Also remember the subdued urban camo? It had a bluish color to it if I remember right. |

Having been forced to wear that camo pattern for the better part of 12 years, I can safely say "fuck that stupid camo pattern!" I knew it was a bad idea when the first guys starting showing up in Korea wearing it in 2005...we were at gunnery, and one of them went into the woodline to take a piss. I could still see exactly where he was from 200m away. I remember reading the article that came out that outlined the different patterns that the Army was considering, seeing the UCP, and thinking "surely that one is not even in the running!"
I bought four brand-new sets in preparation for my PCS to Ft. Eustis to be an instructor, and had everything sewn on, which I honestly prefer to the velcro. Three weeks later, the ALARACT came out that said we were switching to the Scorpion pattern. I said "fuck it", and wore the UCP for the next 2 and 1/2 years to get my money's worth. Somewhere in the PAO archives at Eustis, there is a picture of a Change of Responsibility for my old Battalion there...if you find it, you will see me, standing in the front row, two to the right of the guidon, the ONLY Soldier there in UCPs. I figured that i would be able to hide away in the back, but they flipped the script on me..."if you are SHORTER than the person in front of you, move forward"... |

No idea, but this is my favorite camo pattern. Not for functionality, I just think it looks cool. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1etaCPFXXXXa8XXXXq6xXFXXX5/WZZAE-2017-New-Design-Mens-White-Camo-Joggers-Man-Street-Dancing-Sweatpants-Army-Jungle-Green-Joggers.jpg View Quote |

I bet the penguin likes them because they're black and white... I bet he blends right in when wearing them... |

Somehow "his Webley bouncing along" sounds indicative of something other than a revolver...

Now I want to go and buy some camo pants... well camo fat guy pants... anyway... did we ever choose a camo pattern for the big urban igloo??? I was going to wait until we had an official ARF pattern chosen...

I pictured Aimless crying into his Zima and listening to Bon Jovi power ballads on his cassette deck while writing this.

It's the perfect camo for taking over abandoned island prisons and shooting scientists in top-secret research facilities. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kx5KPyeQRr8/Wx2_ARaLcNI/AAAAAAAAaAo/7I6PrjdF0qEipeCpa1Q021Sgt34LKdbPgCLcBGAs/s1600/rock1.jpg https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/0/4865/380160-80925332.jpg View Quote |

I used to have entire outfits in Urban, BDU Foliage Pattern. It looks fabulous!
I don't believe it was ever actually intended to blend in with anything, but rather to just look damn good! |

I'm just here to find out which of the 87 varieties of camo is poolside approved now.
|
|
In sizes up to 3XL. No observing of a bouncing "webley" needed.

I always called it digital UCP camo, still have a couple different colors. I have my woodlands from long ago.
My German 5 color Flecktarn is my favorite. |

was it really embarrassing in the court room when the ass blew out on your camo cargo shorts right in the middle of your closing statement?

I personally feel that the wearing camouflage off the hunting field (unless one is in the military and in uniform) to be a major fashion faux pas.
I remember years ago when camo print stuff was all the rage for the ladies, I always thought it looked like shit. I remember reading a fashion designer who basically said the above and I was like |

Basically woodland but in grey,black,white. There was a black/blue,grey one as well.
I actually owned this stuff, besides woodland. Worked pretty well. I bring you " safariflage " .. iirc rothco still sells it lol. Attached File |

It hasn’t been too long since they stopped making that. I bought a couple of pairs of shorts in a grey/black camo pattern within the last three or tour years. I ended up donating them without ever wearing them out of the house because they were cut weird and I thought they looked stupid.

I just got 3 pairs of camo BDU's for Xmas. The Subdued Urban Camo has gotten the most compliments.

Nope. Can't stand the stuff! Ever since the word came down that it was going away, even for the Guard, people have been TRYING to dump it on us, and we ALREADY have good sized mountain of it at work. MAkes for some cheap-ish work clothes for around the farm, however.

On the scale of faggotry, Navy blueberries tops the list. Urban ain't even a blip on the radar.
Penguin is released from all liability in this matter. |

I believe the poster that made fun of you, penguin, was me.
I posted this picture of the stupid 90s camo... Attached File I am also not a damn millennial... I'm a gen xer. In short, I'm glad your pants busted! |

Subdued urban actually worked well in an indoor paintball venue I used to go to sometimes. I could sit in the middle of the floor in a room of this old dairy building, and take out 2 or 3 guys when they charged in looking for guys behind the provided cover items.

That was peak “Public Enemy” as well. https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/professor-griff-of-the-rap-group-public-enemy-perform-onstage-in-in-picture-id74291731 But, I don’t know that that pattern is in your OP, that’s not the “Urban” camo I remember form the bad old days. View Quote FTW |
