So I was helping my wife get out the door this morning as usual since I’m retired and she’s still in boots/ (AD - LTC Gaddy). As I was pressing her uniform, I thought to myself, why does the Army uniform still have these giant cargo pockets, and who uses them? In my 26+ years, I never used them and kept them pressed down to look very neat and tidy. Other than basic trainees, who uses their cargo pockets, and for what reason? Is it about time for a real Army uniform update?

MSG Darren Gaddy, did you really serve 26 years in the MPs without ever once actually going to the field? Or was all of your time in service prior to the Army having a field uniform with pockets?

Having extra material made it HOT in Fort Stewart during the summer. So I had a seamstress make some modifications to a couple pairs of my ACUs. Other than that, I don't see a huge reason for such a change.
