The new uniform makes more use of Velcro, and the coat fastens in front with a zipper instead of buttons.
Soldiers also will get a new, no-shine, tan combat boot, and the current black boots will be discontinued.

Don't like the color of it! :?

Sweet mother of mercy, the Army hates us.

(Happy he's in the Corps, now) :lol:
