I seem to recall them trying digital/ACU patterns on vehicles but it turns out it gives anyone who looks at it a headache and they scrapped it. That should have been a sign that it's so terrible even our biology rejects it.

DoktorLoken posted:I hope Congress mandates everyone adopt the new Army pattern just to say gently caress you to the Marines for starting this mess 10 years ago. I really hope Multicam somehow becomes the service-wide uniform pattern. Of course I'm finally getting my new lighter ABUs tommorow, so at least I'll be more comfortable in my lovely looking uniform while we hash this out for another 5 years.

Casimir Radon posted:It's not from the pixelated stupidity bandwagon. The colors were interfered with by the uniform board, against the recommendation of Tigerstripe. I think it's goddamn hilarious how the AF rejected the pretty legit digital tigerstripe patterns that actually blended in with things in order to go with the loving bizarro-retardo ACU pattern we got in the end

I like how the Navy put the USS Constitution where the EGA goes and has little mini ones throughout the pattern too. Hey guys were a little snowflake too! Wish service uniforms didn't exist, either. Marines have like 8 uniforms. It should be working uniform (cammies or coveralls) and one drat dress uniform. Sorry if I derailed this thread. Someone make a uniform bitching thread, hah. But seriously why NWUs Navy why?

Wish service uniforms didn't exist, either. Marines have like 8 uniforms. Seriously there is no reason for 90% of the Navy to wear camo or be involved in any of this stupidity. The only thing you're ever going to need to hide from is your Chief during field day and that salty motherfucker sees in infrared like the goddamned Predator. Seabees and whoever is actually a ground force can just wear whatever Marines wear and Sharpie out whatever hooah moto BS they watermark it with. I'm going to bet the AF is pretty much the same way.

monkeytennis posted:Christ that is quite raw. Those poor guys, wonder what went wrong? RIP. Aircraft obviously stalled. The question is what caused it to stall. Pilots are taught to nose over the airplane, throttle up, and let the airspeed build up. If it were the autopilot flying the jet, it would've pitched up to keep the rate of climb consistent to what was programmed into the FMS. It's unlikely the autopilot had the aircraft though. The landing gear being down is indicative that the pilots weren't getting a positive rate of climb that would tell them to clean up the aircraft. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like the cargo load that slid rearward causing a drastic change in center of gravity.
