I don't know why the soldiersystems link appeared in my post. 
Cuz this is a Soldier Systems Forum not a Military.com forum. They have their own forums. All of the info in the military.com article is in the Soldier Systems article and in fact there is more in info in the Solider Systems article and the one published after it.

NWU (Navy Working Unifrom)
Well I am on my first week with the Navy's new NWU and first impressions are.
1. Like the buttons on the pockets instead of VELCRO.
2. Like that the fly on the pants is a zipper instead of buttons like on the BDU's and DCU's
3. Above all glad I'm wearing these instead of the old Utilities (Don't look like a gas station attendant any more)
Draw backs I don't want to lean against any dark blue walls or you will not see me.

Follow the lead of the RAN and sew Scotchlite bands around arms and legs.

Soldiers in an Army camouflage assessment team wear the following patterns (from left): AOR II, current universal pattern, Multicam, Desert Brush, ACU-Delta and Mirage.

Still liking Desert All Over Brush. It's interesting to me that it fared better than the forest version, when the only picture available for a while was the forest version and it looked pretty damn good in and around trees (given the crappy quality of the image).

I have to agree, when I was in the Corp I hated having the same uniform as the army. I just wonder if this is coming due to the fact that the army had a chance to jump on the MARPAT wagon and turned the marines down. Good call by the CMC to trademark them and include the EGA in the print pattern. Leave the MARPAT alone, the Marines finally have there own uniform again and it actually works. Make the Army fix the ACU, and the Airforce and Navy? well my brother in law is going to catch h@ll over the new Navy uniform from me.

That is actually pretty funny... The only guy to stand out more is the guy in red in the back.

The Army was never offered a piece of the MARPAT pie.

Another option would be to label the ACUPAT "Desert" or "Arid" pattern, and issue a darker pattern with brown or green for "Temperate" or "Jungle" use.

The photo zchen posted ought to wallpaper every computer at PEO-Soldier.

Leave branch pride for Dress Uniforms and bars, there is no room for it in combat.
When I was in Iraq (Army) my Company spent a Month OPCON to a Marine Battalion. We had to work with Marine Snipers, uniforms being different was an issue on dismounted patrols and missions where they would drop out of our patrol and overwatch a road for a few days.

Yup. According the the Daily Telegraph, the Brits paid Mr. Crye a quarter-million pounds for the rights to make it.
But the duds will be stitched in China. Ummm........

Nice! Six months to design and field thier version of Multicam. Our military could learn a few lessons here.
