Same here. I was told that if I ended up getting deployed to some combat area, don't wear new/newish or unstained uniforms outside the wire, because it makes you stand out like a sore thumb pretty much anywhere. But they also said that the same exact piece of kit/uniform with the ineffective regular UCP camo (that looks sort of like a faded teal green mixed with light grey when it's new, to my eyes) can surprisingly transform into a fairly effective and decent camo pattern after it has aged, been used/abused, if it has picked up a decent amount of staining from sweat, dirt, and other things. And it is surprising once you see some uniforms and kit that has gone thru the aging and staining process (especially if it occured naturally, thru regular wear and use) and compare it against anything new that is in UCP, because they pretty much look like completely different camo patterns/colors, and it does become fairly effective in a lot of cases, however that is usually around the same time that the item is nearly worn out and needing to be replaced lol. I had never heard of using coffee grounds to stain the UCP uniforms to be more effective, but it sounds like it would work, if done properly. I wish I had that knowledge back then, and I'm thinking about getting some of my old camo stuff out of the closet and possibly testing that out....i get curious about such things lol

Although Multicam (or the slightly modified OCP version of it) is a good pattern, if the U.S. enters a major conflict they might have to consider a new pattern again. Reason being because tons of armies have started using it as well so it’s gonna be hard to tell friend from foe when there’s 4 different armies running around in Multicam. Even some Russian SF units are using it.

Little more info for those out of the loop: UCP fails as a camo pattern for two reasons: it has a bad color palette, and it uses a "digital" pattern. UCP features too many gray and blue hues, resulting in the average color being a pale teal color. A "Digital" pattern is the blocky pixellated style, which fails as a uniform pattern since it was designed for Naval Vessels. More specifically! Camouflage is designed to break up your silhouette by making parts of your body appear to be part of or concealed by the environment, even when you're partially exposed. This means each blotch of color needs to be big enough to be seen, but not so big that one color dominates the others. UCP fails due to its color blotches being way too small due to the sheer nature of "digital" camo, which was designed for Tanks and Naval vessels. When done properly, each "pixel" would be about a foot wide, and would align better with concrete buildings or the skyline. On people? The sharp corners are really noticiable in natural terrain, and never align enough in urban areas. In order to pass the tests, the pixels had to be shrunk, but nobody bothered to update the size of the splotches themselves.

At this point in time I was super nerdy about camo patterns . The army made " ArPat" and shortly after made army universal . Both were used at the same time . ArPat is the loam and tan , universal has darker green and added browns. Thing is it worked as intended, it failed to blend into environments . It was designed to trick Russian and Chinese night vision in lowlight situations by messing with the heavily pixelated picture they produced. It was in part from the color and in part from a uv/ir reflective treatment in the dye itself. If you want digital patterns that work to breakup a human silhouette against backgrounds , cadpat and marpat do it well in most non desert areas. Atacs green does well too. Crye Multicam is the first camo that actually blends people into the background . The dyes of true Multicam pic up ambient light from the surrounding environments and shows primarily as whatever they reflect. In a dense forest with lots of green , well,its going to be mostly green . Is it autumn ? Well, now you see browns ,tans and reds . Winter is the only time it doesn't blend without help . The old woodland camo is actually very good at what it does too. Breaks up the body outline against shadow and light . It's so good at what it does , seals,and s.o.f. still use it when they work in dense woodlands .

Ucp should have never been use in the us army. Cost many lives in afganistan. After BDU I BELIEVE MULTICAM WAS THE BEST UNIFORM TO REPLACE THE BDU. BUT UCP WAS JUST AN IDEA TO KEEP THE CONGRESSMAN COMPANIES EMPLOYED

I was the last class to go through Basic training on Benning issued BDUs Halfway through, they gave us all ACUs and we completely hated them. The only good thing about them was.... no more boot polishing.

Definitely better than original, but it's hard to beat the Lord's flannel. I've got an old Marine set (no 8-point or boonie though) that my unit was going to throw away, glad I managed to save it.

Money savings gone wrong, I only heard of this a while ago and remember growing up looking at the less effective camo like; "where on this planet does that actually work like camo? did they give up on trying to camouflage or did they just have a massive fluke somewhere?"
