Just so you know, S_Baker, I was in no way trying to disparage the new USArmy Camo Pattern, just, more than anything, sort of writing out my observations, based on Military Morons' page, more to get them straight in my own head, more than anything else.
I hope that I get a chance to see them, sooner, rather than later. I guess that knockoffs may start appearing in the Surplus shops and stuff, so may get a chance to see what they 'sort-of' look like

And, I totally love the cut, with all the extra pockets, etc. I am a pocket junkie, and love to utilize them all. Drives my wife nuts, the majority of my civvi pants are covered in cargo pockets.
I have only been on this board since 2 July, but already am totally impressed with how knowledgable (or at least the impression of it

) a large majority of the people here are.
And, ever since I got my Relish Combats (CADPAT), I have become MUCH more aware of how many different patterns are out there. Before, I just had heard of USArmy Woodland, British DPM, and Olive Green / Monotone patterns, and just assumed that most countries used these, or versions thereof. Wow, have my eyes been opened. Sometimes, I wish that they weren't opened (Belgian Camo looks like a Hawaiian shirt, in my not so professional opinion)
Have a good one.
