Honesty is the key here folks.

How many of you still feel comfortable with Camo's ?

How many of you like the multicolored jerseys?

Bonus point- Who still wears BDU's? sorry...Camo's?
(Even in Sup-Air)
p.s. where is the poll option on this forum? guess the admins disabled them.

Battle Dress Uniform? Is that not just DPM's (Disruptive Patern Material)? Never heard anyone call it BDU!

 

[Philip]

Thats because the name is from agesss ago, like when cube was in

Its DPM's now.

 

[MrPink]

Bourgeois Demonstrationist Unit?

And back to the topic - I like Camo's (For wearing around town) AND the multicoloured Tops (And I want the Millennium committee to allow Pink Tops!!)

The most cammo i wear is usually a bandana, but i do wear cammo collored cloths like dark green, black and tan, I also wear blue jeans but that doesnt really count. Wearing those jerseys is like bending over and saying "shoot me"

I believe that 'BDU'(Battle Dress Uniform) is still in use in the U.S. (mainly in the service)
But in UK I believe it is called 'Combat Uniform' (?)

Oi it wasn't that long ago, only 10 years. Oh and DPM refers to the material that BDU was made from

DPM = Disruptive Pattern Material

But then terms come and go. I remember when podpacks were battlepacks and confusingly in the states fannypacks...but then that's another thread

I think BDU *was* originally a mainly US term, but we certainly used it over here for the camoflage equipment rather than the greens we usually wore.
