What are your thoughts on new uniform confusion?
Last month the new uniform change came out and was even blessed off by SMA Dailey that the mixing and matching of unit should not be an issue, but that I keep seeing. In a recent article of Army Times, NY National Gaurd are told to refrain from wearing the new OCP until 1 May 2016. Reasoning was the leaders didn't want to make Soldiers feel pressured to purchase the new uniforms.
From my Battle Buddies still on Active Duty, I hear similar stories. I remeber when we had DCUs and Soldiers were mixed with others in BDUs. Hell some were wearing tan boots in BDUs.
Why the sudden uproar? Thoughts, ideas, information?

I understand the reasoning behind the remarks however, there are many that have deployed to Afghanistan and if they have the uniforms, I do not see a problem with them wearing them.

There are always going to be directions that come down from higher, and I see the reasoning behind his remarks. Like was stated earlier, there is a lengthy phase in/out period for the uniform. I personally am not going to spend the money on the new uniform until I have to. I deployed and have 4-5 pairs of OCP and to be honest I'm glad to finally put them to use!
At the same time I see what is being said about the mixing of uniforms. It's one of those double edged swords I guess. We want uniformity in the Army but yet we give 4 years to phase out the old uniform. I just so happened to be at the Clothing and Sales here on Bragg when they went on sale July 1 and you would have thought that it was the new Xbox that was being released.
