a buddy of min recently joined up with the nasty girls, and just posted this pic.
I thought at first this was BDU, but the pockets look slanted like the ACU, but it has sewn on name tape.... what the fuck is this uniform? something new I'm not aware of, or is it just BDU?

ACU in OCP. Tell him to close the snaps on his hydration system before he gets raped. He probably isn't even in basic, he's in RSP isn't he?
It's just ACU in the scorpion pattern. Can't really see the name tape in the pic, but i've heard of people sewing them on before.

thanks for eliminating my confusion. They were phasing out the BDU for the ACU with that shitty UCP pattern back when I was in (about 10 years ago).
Anyway, I like it. ACU was comfy and I liked the slanted pockets and whatnot, but UCP was unbearable.

I thought ACP and UCP were the same thing?
I still don't fully understand the uniforms of each branch. They kept cammies simple for us.

*ACU

ACU is a cut, UCP is a pattern

Fuck off surplusshit camo autist
Nobody IRL who actually uses gear gives a fucking shit.
>>34061212
Oh okay, I see where you're coming from now.
>>34061212
ABU is max comfort. never 5get.
>>34061340
ABUs are terrible both as a uniform and as camouflage.
>>34061219
You again? I swear you must shitpost on every single thread where someone tries to explain what ACU and UCP is.
>>34060997
sewn-on name and service tapes have been authorized for years. dunno what camo pattern that is, but it's definitely an ACU cut.

>mfw i tell you craft stores sell clothing 'patterns'

New uniform called OCP. It replaced acu last year

OCP can't get here fucking fast enough.
Of course even if we do get OCP for everyday wear we'll still have our butt-fugly Hap Arnold blues. I despise those things with a flaming autistic passion.

Wait a minute, am I retarded or is this urban man's nametapes backwards? US Army should be over the heart.
>>34060997
OCP is the new pattern and uniform name.
Acu/ ucp is phased out as of FY2019 and they have generally stopped issuing and selling UCP
It's the army's "discount" multicam, because multicam itself (issued to afgh/iraq deployed units until recently) is in fact a pattented design that is too expensive to issue globally to replace acu/ucp.
You will stop seeing ACU/ ucp period by 2019, anyone wearing it after that has been under a rock for 2 yrs or is stoken valor

Your fag friend has his nametapes backwards
