Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013Breaking – US Army to Abandon Camo Update; Vows to Reinstate OD
Monday, April 1st, 2013
“I wouldn’t trade my old ODs for all the Navy’s dungarees.”
-‘Dog Faced Soldier’, the 3d Infantry Division Song
Marnemen everywhere rejoice as life imitates art. In a shocking move, Army officials have confided in Soldier Systems Daily that they plan to abandon the Camouflage Improvement Effort that has left Soldiers without an effective camouflage pattern despite several years and tens of millions of dollars.
Army officials are quoted as saying, “We fought three wars in OD. Why not go back to it?” Turns out, the old “Pickle Suit” worn by the US Army until 1987 is readily available after an enterprising supply officer stumbled upon a large stockpile of OG fatigues forgotten years ago in Germany by the US Air Force.
As US forces drawdown forces in Europe, long abandoned facilities are being turned over to host nation governments. At a former supply depot in Germany a newly commissioned supply officer recently uncovered warehouse after warehouse of the uniforms complete with field jackets and Velcro caps. When he alerted his superiors, they passed word up to the Army G4 staff who looked upon the news as a sign from heaven that they could use this boon to survive the Sequestration axe and Congressionally mandated reinstatement of Tuition Assistance. Coincidentally, he also ran across a rather large stash of C-rations which are currently enroute to the fighting in Afghanistan to make up for those dining facilities now only serving two meals per day. One insider sent us a glowing note praising the find and referring the equipment as “sunk cost.” “Hey,” he said, “it’s already paid for, like in the 60s. I mean, who doesn’t have fond memories of winters at Graf wearing that old Velcro hat?”
What’s old is new as the Army goes retro. Who hasn’t seen the movie “Stripes” which is probably one of the most popular films to feature the US Army? The iconic OD uniform plays prominently in that movie as well as anything about World War II, Korea or Viet Nam including “Apocalypse Now.”
While Soldiers will soon be rocking the classic OD uniform of yesteryear, a so-called digicam pattern similar to the Marine Corps pattern will be applied to all US Army vehicles. “Vehicles are expensive and there’s nothing too good for our rolling stock,” commented one procurement official who was not authorized to speak on the record to SSD, adding, “That Marine Camo is good stuff. Too bad they wouldn’t let us give it to the troops 10 years ago.”
The US Army plans to make the switch effective April 1st 2014 barring any other announcements to the contrary.

Legion Firearms Presents One Heck Of A Deal
Tuesday, March 26th, 2013Legion Firearms just sent us this press release. Magazine prices have recently gone up so several vendors are offering special deals in order to soften the blow, but nobody has done anything like this!
AUSTIN, TX—28 FEB, 2013—Legion Firearms® is pleased to announce an epic rifle purchasing opportunity. This may well be the sale of the century. Buy one MagPul PMAG during the month of March and receive a free rifle!
That’s right. Legion is channeling the mainstream hype generated in response to nation-wide efforts on the part of unscrupulous legislators to offer you a PMAG GEN M3 from MagPul for the low low price of just $2,400.00. Twenty-four hundred dollars gets you a (probably) brand spanking new standard 30-round capacity polymer magazine and an LF4 ODG 5.56mm rifle at no additional charge.
Yes, it’s true. Thanks to such nauseating examples of elected officialdom as Rhonda Fields, Felix Ortiz, Audrey Gibson, Antonio Villaraigosa and of course Diane Feinstein, the market value of rifle magazines is now roughly on par with movie theater refreshments and extra sour cream from taco chains…but we’re offering an LF4 alongside our magazines to take the sting out.
The LF4 ODG leverages a combination of the quality construction standards and experience of Legion Firearms with the tactical acumen and innovation of Orion Design Group founder Brian Bishop to create a rugged, well equipped combat rifle unlike any other in the market—and it features the Lupus Camouflage Pattern!
Noted firearms tactician and Orion Design Group founder Brian Bishop has become a valuable asset to the Legion Firearms team. His innovative approach to weapon systems and concealment technology are brought to bear in every product he designs. Legion is proud to partner with ODG to present this “tricked out” yet “no nonsense” combat rifle featuring the Lupus Camouflage pattern. The LF4ODG normally retails for $2,490.00. You get yours for free with purchase of $2,400 magazine and coupon code LEGIOXXX.
