This means that SF probably won't see them for years. I remember when I left the 10th Mountain Division back in 2001; every member of my platoon had AN/PVS 14s. In fact, my M-240 and M-249 guys had two - one for the weapon's rail and one for them.

When I ended up in an SFODA roughly two years later, we were lucky to have two, or three of those in the team. All the other ones were the old AN/PVS 7Ds. To add insult to injury, whenever we came in contact with either SEALs, or Air Force Special Operations, they'd all be sporting the newer AN/PVS-15s. When I was in SFAS, some instructors told me that they felt like they were treated as "K Mart"SOF as opposed to the premier UW force we are touted as being. I did not believe it until I was in an actual team. Where are our (SF) advocates within the highest leadership? Anyway, rant over.
