What is the guidance for the OCP FR uniforms? Will we still be able to wear them every day after the UCP/Multicam wear out date?

I'm sure there's an ALARACT that covers the specifics of your question so I'll leave it to current active service members to answer your questions. If your like the rest of us you'll hang onto some of your old uniforms for some reason;-)
