Yep, I've found this rare camo that was issued during the Gulf War, and in my size no less(Large Long). For the cheap price of 20US I got the trousers on a IOU from my parents and as soon as I get a new job, I'll get the jacket. And no Hado, just to prevent you from getting the camo before me, I will not name my source (it's not ebay). You'll also be interested to know that the source for my trousers has some nice new Dutch Army jacket and pants. *dangles website in front of hado's face*

Cool beans! Ballista has a US night camo poncho and it's not that bad at all. You can check it out in some of the pics located in the skirmish gallery. For being night camo it did blend in quite well with the surroundings during the day.
Now....about that site.
*me points SD6 at ye*

Fine, fine, but I warn you, they don't have pictures, you have to call them (they're very helpful, just have the item number at hand). www.swedeandsons.com/7.htm |

Rare? Desert Night camo is available at all 3 surplus stores in my area.. One of the teams that plays in Ohio wears nothing but Desert Night, and they get theirs for $5 an item.

Really, where? It's hard enough to find online as the only surplus in Dearborn doesn't have it. It was only issued to and advanced contingent of Marines and special forces, nowhere near half of the 500,000 soldiers that were in desert storm. And just because it's somewhat common around you area doesn't mean it's a general truth. Oh, btw, it wasn't the site that I gave you Hado, and the other one that I know of that has Dutch Army stuff is all DPM.

Sickpointe, Dunhams also carries the boots I use. They are of Aspen make, they aren’t combat boots they are hunting boots but they look just like a swat style combat boot. Cost 30ish bucks. Must better then your standard combat boot as well during these times. They are totally water resistant, they are made for trudging through snow, and well... they look like swat boots. So yea, look into them. Your average real combat boot cost 70+ dollars, you be the judge.

Sure he is having his period? ;D Sorry, I couldn't help it, but the way he acts to you is strangely how some of my friends' moms act towards them in general.
