I wish the latest ALARACT would come out already. And I know that everybody has to be switched over to the "new and improved" Operational Camouflage Pattern" (OCP) AKA "Scorpion W2's" by 2018. But are we authorized to start wearing them once they go on sale at MCSS? Just like the new APFT?

It's probably going to be a unit call on when you can wear the new uniform. IET Soldiers will start being issued them 1st QTR FY 16 so, you will probably start seeing the new privates wearing them when they start arriving this fall OCT/NOV.

I would check with your command or installation before just throwing on your OCP and rolling to work on 1 July. The ALARACT should be coming out soon, I just picked up this picture through some E-9 channels.

Here is some more info that was posted last month.

From what I last heard, we should start seeing the new uniforms on sale Late Summer-Early Fall.

Is there a memo or ALARACT out that authorizes the wear of the Multicam or the OEF-CP while the new OCP is being issued out? I have an AR 670-1 arguement with an NCO.

I have not gotten an answer to this question myself but have been informed that it will be part of the standard issue to people in basic training beginning this summer and that the ACU pattern will be phased out in 2017.

So much for the 1 July 2015 availability at Clothing and Sales.

On a separate note, I am headed to Fort Gordon in a month to work at DOT. Perhaps I will see you soon, Sir.
