What does everyone think? I thought it was time for some ACU (Army Combat Uniform) background. I tried the multi-cam but it didn't look as "cool" (to quote a US general) as the ACU.
Don't even get me started on this stuff - I will say though, it was one of the happiest days of my life in the Army when we finally got issued ours, 3 weeks before going home. People stopped asking me "which national guard unit are you in?" because I wore the old Desert Combat Uniform as opposed to the ACU.
Not much painting being done as it's a working weekend but expect some results on Monday! I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
For some background, here is a link on the interesting history of the ACU.
The blog looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sean!
DeleteIt looks pretty good. Nice change.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Chris!
DeleteI normally read the blog in my RSS reader, so don't see the theme.
ReplyDeleteI took a look in my browser, though, and it looks very cool.
Thanks for commenting, Russel! Glad you like the new look. I too use an RSS reader so normally it's just a while background.
DeleteIt does look pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick! It was time for a change.
DeleteNice on the screen...But in the field?
ReplyDeletePaul,
DeleteIn a word? TERRIBLE. My last assignment in Iraq I went up in helicopters all the time with my boss.
Unfortunately you could see GIs moving around against the dirt and foliage on the ground for a great distance. the Multi-Cam was a great improvement.
Too much cammo! I can't see anything. Now you have a stealth blog!
ReplyDeleteNice, John!
