New Army Camouflage Pattern

The ACU was a bad choice. I was standing next to someone wearing it at night and it was pretty much pitch black outside, but I could still see their ACUs.

Having spent most of my career as a sniper and operator I alway found the the best camo to be plain gray. Shadow is in every environment and gray tones are even in the arctic ice caps. I had a poncho liner dyed basic gray and when I spread it over myself it was better than a gillie suit unless you made the entire thing on sight and gray never dies or needs to be refreshed. I was first introduced to it by a WW2 Ranger who said the Nazi snipers were impossible to see you had to search for strait lines created by the barrel of the gun. You can find most camo by contrast to the environmental colors. The eye notices the change even if the brain doesn't. The eye is used to seeing shades of gray everywhere and you have to train it to notice gray tones. You also want to chop up your shirt cuffs to remove strait lines. Strait line rarely exist in nature.

ACU was a bad idea in the first place at least the new stuff gives you some chance of concealment
