I am so NOT excited to about the new uniforms.

I love my BDU's!! I do not want to go to some stupid blueish velcro outfit... gah! The only thing I'm really excited for are the new shine-free boots. I HATE shining boots.

I do not understand the advantage of these new outfits. If they say you're saving money by not taking them to the cleaners... I've NEVER EVER taken mine to the cleaners. It's called spray starch and a fucking iron. And if you're in Iraq or in the field, you don't press your uniform, anyway. You're lucky if you get to clean it! They also say the patches are easy to change because they're attached with hideous velcro... What am I, four? You change patches infrequently, anyway. People can go years and years without having to change a single thing on their uniform. The velcro is just ridiculous! Do they have velcro boots, too?

I do not know a single person who is actually excited for these... in fact, if you read the Army Times, people are generally pretty divided between, "Eh, it's alright, I geuss," to, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen!"

Oh, well. It's not like I have a choice in this, anyway. At least the boots will be nice.
