Quote HistoryQuoted: When we used to do field ops in the woods I was always amazed how MARPAT disappeared, I could barely see the other Marines in the patrol. Which was the woods at Camp Lejeune if that matters. And the coyote flaks did really well also, coyote is impressive at blending in for being a solid color. There's also a big difference in 'I'm a boot coyote' and 'my gear is salty coyote.' Give it some sun, sweat, several shades of mud.. it blends in pretty well. It's not perfect, but for gear intended to be worn in all terrains it does a good job of blending in. Especially adding in local dirt shades and vegetation touches to suit. |

Quote HistoryOddly enough once the woodlands get some decent salt and start showing their age they fade out to quite a bit lighter like those navy colors. Having sets of different age and wear can be handy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: best camo is being naked covered in the blood of your enemies you killed with your tube sock Mace You forgot the blue woad on your head and chest. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/76/9c/62/769c629b10a05472563ef5a50e767a85.jpg |

Even the average desert digi does ok in the snow  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: DId it take into account fabric types and detergents? I'm really not sure. If I can remember right, both unwashed and washed performed about the same. I don't think Tide or anything with a brightener was used. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The official reasons “to hide stains and tears”. $2.5 million of your tax dollars for research on a bullshit pattern that made no sense. COTS navy blue BDUs would have been a better choice. Someone lined their damn pockets with $ and the yes men went along with it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Navy is supposed to be wearing camouflage like this. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/94863/download__1_4_jpg-2075920.JPG I like the way they issued AOR2 (guacs) to everyone because everyone one wants to be a SEAL (until it’s time to do SEAL shit). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never understood the point of that uniform. A sailor (SEAL) explained it to me: since Navy guys are always painting stuff grey, it allows them to get grey paint on their blue uniforms and not have to replace them. We LOLed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think the camo the Navy started using when I got out is the best. It really helps you blend in with the water if you fall overboard. Fuck Terry Scott for foisting that abomination on us. |
