What is so different about Digit BDU verses Regular Camo patterns?
471604
Regular cammo patterns use pre existing templates which can be distinguished by the naked eye.  A digital BDU uses a completely random assortment of designs and patters which allows the user to be less distinguishable against a backdrop.

I owned a few sets because I was in Public Affairs and did many events with and before the media.  My final assignment was as the Public Affairs NCO for Marine Recruiting for Arkansas (and several counties from the surrounding states).  I wore blues or modified blues (khaki short-sleeved shirt and blue trousers) every day.  These uniforms were provided to me (although I invested in extra sets because they really take a beating when worn every day), but for the average Marine, they were not--and they were VERY expensive.  Still, part of the privilege of joining the Corps is to be able to wear that very proud uniform.

Each digit is coded by two black and two white stripes. The stripes have widths of from 1 to 4 units, and the total width for each digit is always seven units.\n\nThis code is not quite all there is to it, however. Some digits of the barcode are reversed, so that they read right to left. Part of the code has black and white inverted, so black stripes are white and vice versa. This helps cut down errors and allows a computer to work out if the code was read from the wrong end when it was scanned.

The whole code over-ride thing has really gotten outta control if you ask me.  You are askin for trouble.  Leave the bg color changes for your own page.  Its frustrating to work so hard on making something look right, and find it was altered by someone else.  Think about it that way.

On a general basis most military texts will tell you that about 5% of your loses will be to blue on blue also called friendly fire. This has been true in every war I have read of and it is likely to continue for a while longer. Until we have individual IFOF (identification friend or foe) chips that cannot be spoofed by the other side it is most likely to continue. As the speed of communication within a battlefield has gone up the response time for indirect fire has gone up too. So not much has really changed.

People who do not have any military background often do not make the correct distinctions between different types of units.  They are just not as familiar as military personnel with the correct terms.  There are, however, a surprising number of military personnel who don't understand the differences either.  I would assume that comes from being stationed or assigned in units that are not near any of these types of units.  I think you are not differentiating between an infantry soldier (or any other type of soldier for that matter) that has been to Ranger school and one that serves in Ranger Regiment.  75th Ranger Regiment is not "Special Forces" but it does fall under the Special Operations Command (unlike 10th Mountain or the 82d ABN).  The difference is between the term Special Operations and Special Forces.  Special Forces are comprised of 18 series MOS personnel who have attended a series of schooling to qualify.

Butt Prints will also do, I belive !!! This type of taking impression for ID, we used to do when we were in the  2nd year of  College, where ink used to be applied on the butts and used to ask  the fella to sit on a News paper, and having got the impression on the News paper we used to get his signature of the fella as an endorsement,to dispaly it on Students Notice board at the Hostle.This was done as a part and parcel of ragging !!! Is in't it interesting and funny ! \nDon't bother your socks for the foot prints! You try this , with the advent of new appliances and techniques you can get a desired sized ID print with superfine clarity !!!! Ha Ha Ha ....

http://users.telenet.be/educypedia/electronics/digitacounters.htm\n\njust choose the ones you like and think are simple. If you're a beginner in digital design, you have to understand and then copy. If not, you'll find lot's of difficulties in the future...good luck..

rangerdrawchoo's got it.  If you are going to be using this in electronic form at all, I'd say use the version without the marks, since sometimes letters with diacritics don't transfer well to other computers.

You want to hang on to them..They will be worth something some day..really. Old OD green Fatigues from the 60s that you could find by the thousands are worth BIG bucks these days. BDUs are not worn by anybody anymore will be worth somthing in 10 years, Trust me on this. i wish I bought those Jungle Fatigues when they were 9 dollars a set 20 years ago. now you would pay 150$!!!!And Even if you dont like them in 20 years you would have wish you hung on to them!!

The number is too small for a real "pattern" to emerge.\nThe digits could be the first 10 values of some sequence given by some ( many ) recurrence relation, could be ...\n\nIn order for a proper pattern to emerge, it should be much larger...

well it all depends on where you play and what time.  yes you do want thick clothes but as far as camo you need to consider if youer palying at night in a feild or in doors.  at night you want to wear black, in the field its camo, in doors where whatever color the walls are

I would like to know the source of your information since the bullet RESISTANT vests (IBA) were tested with everything up to .308CAL rounds.  This is how they achieve Level IV certification for bullet resistance.  As police also use these vests, the testing was done to very strict standards.\n\nThe vests also work well, but there are holes in the protection, just like any armor has holes.  For the IBA, these holes are around the arms and that wierd necessity humans have where our heads stick out.  The vests work extremely well and the reduction in casualties are amazing.  Unfortunatly, we are seeing an increase in leg and arm shots as a result... such is the armor vs anti-armor saga from the 5th century BC Chinese to today.\n\nSome equipment has been junk.  The (in)famous, and cancelled, SGT York Mobile AA gun being one.  Some might argue the M-16 was initially a POS.  The problems here occur when requirments are not stated clearly and/or change constantly and a devotion to getting the item to work which leads people to not want it to fail or be cancelled.  Congressional pressure for a success in their district is also, unfortunatly, a factor at times.\n\nWe do have checks and balances: Congress, the Inspector General's Offices, the sometimes dubious "watchdog groups", and several other internal checks.  Do they always work?  No, nothing humans do ever always works, but the system is very good.\n\nAlso, one thing to note is many of these projects are meant to "push the envelope" of science.  BTW, you are using the results of this pushing as you read this post over the internet on your computers.  Ever been air-medivac'd in a helicopter?  Ever had surgery?  Ever used the new clotting powder which stops bleeding instantly?  Ever used GPS?  The list of achievments is long for this R&D.  Much, much longer than the failures.

No different than the use of traditional cameras.\n\nGenerally, nobody really cares unless you are working in an area that may contain classified materials.\n\nIn fact the Army is issuing digital cameras to squads in Iraq.  This way a soldier in the field can take a picture of something and transmit that picture electronically to the people who either need the information (or can tell him what he is looking at).

You can go to each branch's website, they have pics of graduation day and things like that. Those are dress uniforms, but the officer uniforms are different from elisted, so if you see some differences that's probably why. If you want to email me, i can give you info about AF uniforms. The Navy has about a million different uniforms and I don't know much about them, but I'm pretty knowledgeable about AF insignia. malorie.gutierrez@yahoo.com

The new Army Combat Uniform was introduced on June 14, 2004...the Army's birthday.\n\n   They started handing them out in April 2005. All soldiers are to have them by December 2007.\n\n  You can mix some parts of the uniform right now. For instance, if you are still wearing the BDU and you need new boots, you can buy and wear the new ACU friendly tan boots. \n\n   This is similar to how the army changed over from the olive drab uniform over to the BDU. Some soldiers had the new stuff, some didn't.
