Hey Steve,
You have made some excellent points. I hope we do see a drastic drop in price for NUW issue uniform items. Mostly because I want more !! Especially if later issue will differ
from the original issue.
If it is decided that the armed forces should share more common patterns, and thus reduce the numbers of patterns now issued, it would be a good thing, in my opinion.
I can think of 3 patterns, maybe even 5 that are not essential. Without getting into a long discussion on why, I think 3, or 4 patterns are sufficient. Perhaps solid color(s)
should be considered as well.
Certainly, it would be years before any real changes could be implemented, and I am certain stocks of uniforms in the system would have to be exhausted, and most likely issued
simultaneously with any future uniform pattern(s). Special troops will either embrace the new uniforms , of hang onto the outgoing uniforms until the bitter end , as they did
when the M81s replaced the much loved so called RDF ERDL and the olive ripstop combat uniforms.
Of course, all of this is speculation...But I am certain we will find out.
rip...
