    I hear we are now going to coyote brown boots, for wear with both woodland and desert uniforms. We will now have 4 pairs of boots, vs the 8 I have now... (combat boots, gore-tex boots, jungle boots, desert boots...)
    its horrible but effective in the field id imagine!
    I knew a simple soldier boy.....
    Who grinned at life in empty joy,
    Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
    And whistled early with the lark.

    In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
    With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
    He put a bullet through his brain.
    And no one spoke of him again.

    You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
    Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
    Sneak home and pray you'll never know
    The hell where youth and laughter go.

      There is no point in having the best camo and standing in the open

      a couple of steps to his rear and he could have been well camo'd and in some

      type of actual cover.



      His blue ankles give him away




      Why didnt he simply go the other side of the batch loaf van

          Got to admit, Irish DPM would rather stand out in this. Desert would be a bit better, but not much, mind.

          And it wouldn't be a contest in an urban area.

          FWIW, there is a new ACU pattern being tested, it incorporates a fourth colour: Brown.

                  Maybe the SS got it right, oh, sixty odd years ago, with their woodland pattern........all camouflage is relative, especially when you get wet and dirty and the blending-in problem is solved. Not changing it until it rots off you also helps.

                                I don't think there is a Irish snow DPM. From what i've seen the PDF just wear a white outer jacked and pants. It's in the recruitment brochure yoke. I'll see if i can find it
