I remember in the early 80's when we switched from the perma-press tuck-in- the-shirt, back-pocket-buttons-got-caught-on-everything-and-popped-off, sure wish you could actually USE the other pockets, ohhhhhh and what a nice baseball cap to the initial BDU. That was SO cool, tucked out, lotsa useable pockets and oooohhhhh camoflage (just like the cool Armies).

Then the black in the patterns turned blue!

Which wasn't that bad . . . cause we were issued jungles. Jungles are mega- Cool! (They had pockets INSIDE pockets!) And you could get into the chest pockets. And you could sew on all your "chesticles". And your branch! oh well . . .
