Well, the first thing they'll tell you is about them not being able to do their job... We signed contracts for manufacture here that no civilian group would ever sign. It was for production over a protracted period of time with financial penalties on us if we cancelled the contracts before natural expiry. Therefore we end up with several patterns of boots on issue at once. Several minor and a couple of major issues of uniform available...and not to mention the different purse they paid out of. The air force had cadpat uniforms before the Infantry and people tried to say it was different because it had a shade of BLUE in it...no, it was paid out of the air force purse. Ours was empty from buying ammo and cam stick...stuff they didn't need.
