Ive never seen that navy crap before though, it does seem a little pointless. I wish they would just stick all of our guys in marpat, (It pwns cadpat, even though it was based on cadpat, i think cadpats too bright IMO), but for some reason every branch has to have a different camo. Nice for distinction but its a little confusing for a normal person who isent as informed as people like us.

IIRC the commandant of the Corps holds the patent on MARPAT, and has stated its for the USMC only, so outfitting all US Armed Forces with it isn't going to happen.
Something I'm wondering about the Navy pattern.... Well right now for BDUs the Navy uses US woodland and US 3 colour desert right? Seals, being part of the navy must wear its branches BDUs... so would the SEALs also be forced to wear this stuff? |
No, because the SEALs is more independant than people used to think. In other word they can choose what they want.
