yep ugly. All of the services uniform follies have been idiotic. The beret thing was also stupid. Since we we work more integrated than ever it is time we went to a single service with a standard uniform like they tried with the BDU. Single service will never happen but the battle uniform should. The army is getting another pattern soon. That is like three since I retired. Very expensive as it it not just the uniform but all of the camouflage equipment to match.

I think what you guys mean is OG (Olive Green) pinboy3niner Jun 2014 #6

I grew up with the term 'olive drab', so that's what I always called them. Aristus Jun 2014 #7
