#1 Do they get 'Can't-see-me' shoes, or do they have to buy their own?

#4 What are we Star Fleet changing uniforms every few years. Isn't there a cost to buying all new uniforms across the board and isn't this a daft time to be doing so?

#5 Not a bad pattern.

rjschwarz, the cost of uniform changes is small compared to most things. Add to the fact that most troops have to buy their own besides a small standard issue and the cost goes down even more.

The Army expected my two winter and two summer sets of BDUs to last more than 2 years for some reason. As a REMF, they might have. As infantry.... not a chance. I was buying new uniforms every six months after a 45 day long field problem. The BDUs were shredded after that.

#6 Mitch,
It's multicam. The cut of the uniform is different, but the pattern is the same as what Special Forces has been using.
