I personally really wish the the MC pattern had been chosen instead of ACU. A bunch of my friends that I was in the service with tried to get ahold of full field uniform and it ended up taking them about six months and even then only on person was able to get sizes that fit. They called Crye and they said it was mainly do to public demand and contracts with the military, what military I am not really sure.

One way you can get a uniform is from http://www.afmo.com/. They just buy the material from Crye and make it to the armies uniform standards for the ACUs. They said it was pretty quick shipping except for one marines that gained a ton of weight after he got out so he needed a pretty large size. But even then they just called then and got the exact date that they would be shipped out. All quality stuff I actually like them

But I saw them running around in the woods and it is really hard to make them out but on the down side even a little bit of any other colors or patterns makes you really easy to spot. One of the guys was wearing a tan ball cap and I could spot him pretty easily. But on the up side if all your gear is MC you are really hard to spot. I could just be out of practice but about four guys in a wedge ended up moving right next to him and had no idea he was even there.

So yeah thats my two cents.
