When can we start wearing the new Camo?

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.

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

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.

You mean I have to stop wearing my woodland BDUs?

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.
