Wanna know why every branch has to have a different camo?

Because every time I wore my woodies, people asked me how long I'd been in the Army. Even though ACU had been out for quite some time.

Or, my personal favorite, call a Marine "Soldier" and watch their reaction.

Its branding, is all it is. Every branch wants their own camo, so that they are unique and special from the other branches, which is why Commandant Conway threw a fit when he saw that the Navy was using what is honestly a rip-off of MARPAT, so they had its use restricted.

That being said, if it does become a common pattern, I don't think I'll pick any up. I don't like. Don't know why.

I see Aquaflauge (NSW Camo) everyday and I think it looks good, but it's boring to me now. IDK why but I want some aquaflauge swim trunks though.

Hmm. MARPAT doesn't come with the microphone. I see what they did there.

Quite honestly this pattern will work very well in the Pacific Northwest. However the Canadian in me yearns to destroy this camo, since it resembles CADPAT too much. I can accept MARPAT, but this is too much for me. That doesn't change that I wouldn't get a pair, hehe.

All digital patterns should remind you of Cadpat

This is the same pattern as Marpat. They turned the pattern verticle and replaced the Coyote Brown with OD Green
