I've recently been reading about the future change in the ACU. Talking to a few people over PMs, both current cadets and parents of cadets I've noticed that there is a huge gap between what people think they know, and what is in all actuality fact.
So I have 3 questions:
1: The wikipedia page on the new camo says that they're going to start pushing out the new designs during summer of 2015. Will this mean that there will be a complete change, one day its the currwnt design, next day it's multicam? Or do they slowly phase it in?
2: How long does it take for this to get passed into ROTC? Someone used the analogy: "little brother gets all the hand-me-downs, and they get it last." Is that gping to be the case, and if so when does that typically get rolled down to cadets? I know it took a while to make the change from the Green SUs to the SD Blues, is that because of the same issue?
3: What does this mean for current and prospective cadets? Does this mean that there is most likely going to be a change in most of the regulations? I noticed the mild change in the hair and tattoo policy, so is that really just a stage of this uniform change? And is there any hope of a relaxation/reworking of the boot policy?
All I have been able to find online were old articles/blog posts from about 6 months to a year ago. Wondering if anyone knows anything that could help me make sense of it.
As always, thanks in advance. I want to appologize again for my behavior in the other thread. I see now that I was out of line, and I want to work towards rebuilding my image.
