Congress got sick of all the different services wasting money on their own combat utilities so a few years ago they put a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (the yearly budget bill) that prohibits the services from spending any money on the development of a new combat uniform unless it is Joint. That is why the Air Force went with OCP when they decided to get rid of the stupid digital tiger stripe. It is also why the Space Force is going with OCP. I am sure the Navy will in a few years too. The Marines will only do it if forced to.

Maybe that's why mexico is converted? They waited to long now they have matching costumes.

More importantly matching ideologies.

No one conquered shit waiting around.

Never know we may have aliens running casinos and selling space blankets off every exit west of the dark side. Ya feel me?

May not be in our lifetime but someone, somewhere will see and experience some pretty incredible stuff.

Luck favors the prepared.

It's going to be really funny when some adversary puts up Claymores on rockets and takes out space for humanity for centuries to come.

I'm so excited about Space Force. I think it's really cool, even if it's just satellites and internet stuff not space shuttle door gunners.

I kinda want to join.

Sgt W.T. Cat US Space Force.

How cool would it be to be in the Space Force?

Only thing I really care about is when CMP can get a load of surplus ray guns.

I don't think "white power" armor would go over very well.

See I didn’t even mean it like that. Nor did I even notice it until you pointed that out.

I saw some of that hippie All Mankind show where the Soviets have Red Space Suits and I figure white would look like stormtroopers but power armor like in anime. Plus for wars on the moon white would be a good camo. Maybe with grey splotches.

Like the beginning of the movie Soldier where they are fighting on the moon with Space Uzis.

Regardless. I live in a world with a Space Force. All I ask now is a ray gun.

ETA Multicam kinda looks like Colonial Marine camo actually

And more...  The only member of USSF currently, is Gen. Raymond.  Gen. Raymond was the CC of the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) prior to the creation of USSF, and so it's not surprising that he is wearing an otherwise USAF uniform, with USSF nametape.  Units have been assigned to the USSF, but personnel have not, they remain in their specific branch at this point.

The USAF does not follow Army regulations for patch placement, so the patch you see is not a combat patch, but  unit patch.  Typically MAJCOM and Squadron patches are worn.

The Left does not even know what gender they are and certainly does not understand our reliance on space enough to make an informed argument.  Fuck them.

TDS is a dangerous thing.

This thread is tongue in cheek, them fuckers are serious. Same as shovels would be whining at the waste of money if they didn’t go with the uniform already widely available.

It's a no-win situation.

If we use existing camo uniforms, then everyone will predictably mock the whole "camo in space" thing

If we had developed a new uniform, then everyone will predictably complain about the "waste" of money, since we already have a ton of uniforms in the logistics pipeline.



... that said, I think they should have gone with whatever corresponding uniform the Navy uses.  Save the camo for the Space Marines.

Ahh, guess I should have kept reading. Carry on.

You know, because it's not like they won't have a ton of people on the ground where they vulnerable, and where they could wear cost effective uniforms already produced for other branches.
