This is the beginning of an USAFSOC impression:
Still need to decide on what LBV / Chest rig I am going to run with this. Also still debating on getting some ACU knee pads. The helmet is an issued ACH which the USAFSOC are useing currently. I have been thinking of running a Multicam chest rig and possibly MC soft armor seeing as how the issue of Combat and Survival mentioned the use of MC kit by the USAFSOC. I need an M4 though.

Ya even though it's probably incorrect, since the phaseout date isn't till 2011 I'm sure AFST will be using DCU's until they have to switch
They have been useing ACU's so I really don't see the difference...same coloration...but not as functional.

Q35: Will SOF forces be issued the ABU?
A35: The SOF were among the first to test the ABU. Absolutely, they will wear the
ABU. We are committed to continuous improvement with regard to the ABU. We plan
to continually upgrade the ABU as we learn more about its effectiveness – we’ll do this
in spirals. We will incorporate new fabrics and new technology as appropriate. SOF
forces will continue with their current ROE when deployed but are authorized to
purchase ABUs when available at their duty stations.
I guess that answers the do PJ's wear ABU's question.

Had an ABU top raid-modded and then had it modded with a T-shirt:
-
some dood on ASF had a "USMC MULTICAM" impression...that needless to say looked nothing like a MARINE,, but that OTV if better quality would fit the bill..LOL.
-
Ace Of Spades, that is pretty nice man. I am digging the tunic.

Last I heard from an Airforce dood is the only kit actually authorized with ABU's was Black gear. ACU kist has been worn with it in pics, and I have also seen in IRAQ some foliage green kit with ABU's mixed with ACU kit. If the USAF decides to have the PJ's and other units of the the type use the ABU for sure then it would not surprise me if they were to have either RANGER green, Foliage, green or smoke green kit with it. I have seen Coyote kit over ABU also and like ACU it looks good.

I have seen some pics of the Canadian Forces wearing Desert boots with their TW CADPAT, is this common?
-
Now if those recruiters are in uniform when they play airsoft with you and anyone who shows up to play with you guys happens to be active duty, reservist, or guardsman how will their game be affected by being in the presene of somone who possibly outranks them? Would that player have to take "orders" from the Army rep who outranked him? Yes.
I am in the military and I play with alot of other military guys. I also play with officers and it is not an issue, the military is a job and work is work....you leave it there. Are you even military or running off of pre concived notions and assumptions?
-
Lerch, so the current issue TV has OD webbing and CADPAT pouches? Then the replica is close to real look then? I currently has the ARKTIS and I like it alot but want a CF style vest. Also thanks alot for the info on the helmet, I guess the current issue US ARMY helmet the ACH will look that part with a CADPAT cover and SCRIM on it.
-
Does anyone know where I can get an actual Canadian Forces vest? also what is the closest replica helmet to the Canadian helmet? Is it similar to any US helemts or vice versa?
-
Does anyone have an issue Canadian Forces Tactical vest and has some good quality pics of it?
-
Yeah MARPAT is a great patterna dn works well in green enviroments. It is especially great in a Deciduous forest area, CADPAT is awsome for Taiga forests like you find in certain extreme northern states and close to PACIFIC NORTHWEST and Canada. CADPAT would also be great for Tropical and rain forests...anywhere with lush vibrant greens and alot of Moss, Ferns, etc.
MARPAT like Darklite said works well in a forest where there are still alot of browns hence the Deciduous forest, most of the time they have alot of browns due to the season changes and dead leaves and mulch on the deck all year round.

RedRaptor here is MARPAT vs CADPAT:
-
nuclear_darkness Where is the HESCO barriers at? Very IRAQ FOB...I hate those things...lol. Nice kit especially the Temperate and Arid combo.
Also do any of you CADPAT guys know what kind of helmet the Canadians are useing and where I can get one of those net things they use on their helmet?
-
HUH??? I'd seen backpacks and some plate carriers in MC, but now it's the issued uniform?
yeah it is one of the many uniforms they have been wearing apparently. Check out the MC thread I posted the pics from the newest issue of combat and survival that has a CCT wearing MC.
-
USAFSOC:
All pic's scanned from issue of Combat and Survival. According to the article ABU and CPCU (Multicam) are issued as well as Tri-color and ACU.
-
This was in the newest issue of Combat and Survival. USAFSOC in CPCU Multicam.
According to the article this is a common issue uniform within the USAFSOC.
-
What happened to your ABU loadout?
still have that also, I have been making small additions to it.
-
Some sweet kit going on, MARS there are ALOT of different ways to skin a cat. So don't worry about people correcting your CQB stuff. I learned it three completely different way's. One way from the ARMY, one way from the USMC, one way in MilLE school, and a whole different way from the SEAL/Blackwater guys.
And to the dood that said hug the wall..that is the only thing I have learned not to do all across the board. The wall's are bullet magnets and not a great place to be. Also USAFSOC are issued CPCU (Multicam).

CADPAT is titties pink!
My Canadian stuff:
CADPAT:
and my ARKTIS CADPAT Rig:
C7:
I still want to source some issue body armor, helmet, smock, and a nice pack.
I was training recently and there was a Canadian unit training at the same area, I was surprised at how badly the CADPAT seems to wear ovewr time. There was alot of faded uniforms, Trousers lighter than blouse's and vice versa. The Canadians were good guys though really nice and willing to share info. I saw a wicked cool jeep the canadians have now...it is bad @ss.

my Canadian C7
I have a guarder C8 body on this and disipator style barrel. All I need to do now is paint the Elcan scope.
-
there is an AIRSOFT replica that is the proper style, I think it is made by CA.
-
my Diemaco C7A2 Disipator, it is the second down in the pic. It has a Guarder metal body with full canadian Diemaco trades.

Ohh..god do they sag, My MICH I wear at work always has sag with my 14's on it. I used to tape a full M4 mag to the back of my MICH before a mission to help level the helmet out...and that way I always had a spare mag
but if it ever came to that point I was pretty much F-d so it didn't matter.
Before I head out to the box this time I am going to add a Pouch to the back of my lid to put either a MAG or some sort of weight in to help solve the sag issue.
