I understand we are expecting yet another uniform change for the Army and this time, it is PT. The PT uniform seems to change more often than the other uniforms and it seems its always about the same two complaints; appearance/ugly and fit/comfort. The companies like Under Armour seems to have it right. Why havent we just used them to get it done right instead going through the same motions?

Am I the only one who wonders if they decide to change the various uniforms every few years because they are getting bored?
But I gotta say that it would make sense if the Army started using professional companies who make outstanding athletic clothing. Maybe the next time they decide to change the uniform they would take this into consideration. We can only hope

I have been saying thiis for the last year or so.  We should allow companies to sponsor the military.  It would not only provide Soldiers with quality gear and clothing it would not be a burden to our ever decreasing budget. 

 

I can see it now.  The 100th Engineer Brigade sponsored by the Home Depot.  The 100th Infantry Division sponsored by Glock.  Army PRT presented by Under Armour.

<p>Because somebody from the good old boy system had a friend who had a friend that got them the contract and promised someone a job when they got out of the military down the road and they would also receive some compensation down the road as well.</p><p><br></p><p>It sounds ridiculous, but in reality that is how most of these continuing ridiculous situations occur and re-occur over the years and through many incarnations of uniform, equipment, training materials, etc., all come about. It is all about the bottom line and somebody's pocket within the system getting lined.</p>
