Ok...here is a rant.
I went into clothing stores yesterday to exchange my OD ECW bib pants for CADPAT ones. Why? All of my ECW kit is CADPAT with the exception of said item and if figured that I could get them exchanged no prob so the remained of my kit is uniformly matched. They were perfectly servicable (never worn in fact).
Upon asking if this was possible I was was politely told this was not possible.
It would seem that the CADPAT stock of ECW kit is now the sole property of the Air Force, thus it is not for issue to Army types...you can have all the OD stuff you want, but don't ask for the CADPAT stuff.
Apparently the AF and the Army through some magical trigonometric formula decided to swap spending priorities...I won't even try to make sense of it.
Suffice to say the AF now has the lock and key over CADPAT ECW kit.
