Ghillies?

[KEVLAR]

Well I am thinking about changing my roll to a scout/marksman roll. I figured a ghili would be helpful to help break down the outline of my body and make moving about the field easier. So should I make one my self or would one of these 2 work well

This summer I plan on going to SFOD events and want to know which would be similar to the surroundings or if nether are. All advice is welcome.

Thank you

Maybe Livonia, O'Dwah, or Embed will chime in, they've all made theirs and could offer some insight. Another idea may be to just make a ghillie top, and have uniform pants, that would probably help with keeping you mobile. I've never worn a ghillie suit, but they look hot, and somewhat hard to maneuver in.

Nope. A ghillie can help conceal you when you're stationary, but it will slow you down, make it harder to keep cool, and add weight.

I've never had any love for ghillies. Frostee and Hado were a scout/sniper team at Op: Blind Fury I, and they roamed through enemy territory, gather intelligence for our team leader, advised us on enemy movements, and eventually engaged in repeated selective assassination of Munin's old friend Mite, who was acting as an enemy medic. At one point they completely derailed an enemy advance by pinning down a squad before they even got close to the front where they were needed.

They weren't wearing ghillies. In fact, they weren't even wearing camo. Both of them were wearing pure OD BDUs. If they can do all that in OD, I don't see why anyone needs a ghillie.
