I grew up for many many years with German Sheppards in my house.... Awesome dogs and smart as hell...

A LONG time ago in a far away place.
23 years ago, damn where did they go.
RNZAF Police Dog Unit.
To put it in perspective, I am 6 foot 2 inches in my stockings.
The average German Shepard weighs around 95 pounds.
The bad boy in the photos with me weighed 120 pounds and could put his front paws on my shoulders and lick me in the face
In other words "Your worst nightmare" if he got p1ssed at you.
No 1 manwork and tracking team for the unit.
P38 - that's the most intelligent thing you've said! Now we just need to get you to start thinking about your future in the USMC, not the Army![]()
The one thing about the army's new cammies is how the front pockets are slanted on an angle like ours, but their name tapes are parallel to the deck... looks so awkward to me... maybe just because I'm used to ours though.
You have fun with that. Are you parents going to allow you to go. You cant go with out there permission until you are 18.
Just to chuck in my two-pennyworth - ACUs are this US digital camouflage, right? Supposed to be the all-terrains solution to not being seen?
ndicki said:German cam, on the other hand, is mimetic, and from a distance, it loses the ability to break up outlines and shapes because of the excessive similarity between the tones of the colours. Also, as it is essentially green-based, it is OK for Northern Europe, but not brilliant in, say, Greece. ACUs risk falling into the same trap, even though the base colour seems to be dusty earth, rather than green. Compare with East German raindrop cam - they might as well never have bothered.
ndicki said:For desert cam, it all depends on what the desert looks like! In desert as in North Africa (Rommel's home), the same cam will not work as in, say Afghanistan, or Iraq. For North Africa, it's my guess that old KD (Khaki Drill, ie, traditional sand coloured, single-colour cotton uniform) will work as well as anything!
ndicki said:If you want my opinion, stay with two or three different types. Just make sure stocks are on hand when needed...
Try wearing that lot tracking terrs in the bush or something! Grief! Might be useful in an all-out war, but I'm going to take some convincing that loading people down with tons of technology is going somehow to make them into super-soldiers. Admittedly, some of the kit may prove useful now and again, but don't you already feel just a little bit overloaded? There's a limit to how much stuff you can carry round...
ndicki said:Of course, I was a real infantryman, and carried all my kit around with me. Vehicles? No, what for? They draw attention to you...
