I told my dad that I wanted to borrow his army pants and he said he could buy me a pair of my own. YAY!!!

Now, I have to face a difficult decision: which color is coolest?

Choices are:
- black
- woodland (i.e. US-army camo)
- sky camo (bluish camo)
- urban camo (black-grey-white-red camo)

The other colors (including the German camo) either suck or they don't match the rest of my wardrobe. I'm tending to US-army camo because it's really cool, but black would maybe be more practical and less "aggressive" or "offensive" or whatever some people like to call it. I am probably gonna wear the thingie with black/grey/dark blue/white shirts...

Your opinions?

I'd go for black or woodland. I don't really like the bluish hues, and the urban ones might make one look like a poison arrow tree frog ...

That's just me though.

Not the smartest thing to do if you want to stay alive, CK.

Nah...forget all the fatigues. RealTree baby, RealTree. CK'll never find ya then.

Wow, do I need to go back home to the city.
I've been in backwoods, FL too long I think.

Seriously LiNeY, Army clothing rocks. I wear my dad's 1960's issue wool shirt as a light jacket. I get more compliments on it than most anything else I wear. Plus, it's very practical and rugged.
As far as the color game goes, I say black. If you can find the black/grey/white combo I personally like them better. I believe they make them minus the red. (Keyword, "think.")
Either way, enjoy which ever you decide on.

For those who want to be trendsetters:
the Marines have adopted an new style of BDU. The article came out several months ago in Stars and Stripes. Anyone who is fashion sensitive, should attempt to buy a pair now and you will be ahead of your peers for about a 1-2 years.

Black. Goes with everything and is never out of style.

The poison arrow tree frog is the most poisonous animal alive.

So much so that the native tribes use leaves to pick them up, rub darts on their skin, and kill monkeys instantly with a single dart from their blow guns.

I wouldn't want to touch one, let alone lick one.
