Nope, the new ones are darker brown. Coyote brown is the name, I think.

What? You just spent your clothing allowance on brand new dress blues because your class As are no longer authorized? And you don't get another clothing allowance for eight months? Doesn't matter, buy this new uniform and new boots. This is why people use their clothing allowance to get drunk, because you'll probably need to buy poo poo your clothing allowance is for before you even get your clothing allowance for the year. Sincerely, someone who typically used his clothing allowance responsibly, but got a counseling statement for having an unkempt military appearance because his boots were scuffed and he used his clothing allowance (plus some of my own not-clothing-allowance money) to buy a new dress uniform before finding out his boots weren't in regulation... or something. My next clothing allowance after that was spent getting drunk at the casino in St. Louis. E: The reason I never spent my own money on boots (until I got a loving counseling statement for it) is because I took the advice of a guy who retired in the 90s. He told me not to buy anything unless it is issued to you and it needs to be replaced, and don't spend your own money replacing stuff, that's what your clothing allowance is for.

I got there in 2011 and was in two of their line units (got cross-leveled to one to deploy). Just transferred out to a brand new transportation brigade headquarters, which is unbelievably laid back. I basically show up, work on homework for my master's program for 2 days, and go home. I don't even think they know who I am.

I think they were getting ready to deploy around that time. quote:I basically show up, work on homework for my master's program for 2 days, and go home. So far as I can tell this is what TPUs do in every Brigade HQ in the reserves. I really should try out higher echelons once I finish this XO gig.. guess I'll have to; there's nothing else left to do.

When are they gonna realize that they should just make all of the uniforms flame-retardant? This would have been the perfect time to do it. Stop fielding non-flame-retardant uniforms, ffs.

Some cool looking guy who was a servicemen himself (So he knows what I need) at the larger PX told me that BDUs were going to be usable and I should Definitely purchase them, and that the army would pay for them if I requested my clothing allowance after bct.
