Gen Y became "millennials" and then Gen Z (who I would think are the actual millennials) became Zennials.. and my daugher... she's apparently part of "Gen alpha"

Edit. Coyote Tan fabric. Coyote brown scrap, tan 499/coyote, usmc cb, foliage "green" and Eagle Khaki chest rig

I like the eagle olive color. I should get some of their khaki stuff. Maybe I would finally get down with the new light brown.

I'm normally a live and let live kind of guy, but the aforementioned tends to be a pretty judgy type, so I'm ok with it.

All looks mighty similar uf not identical to USMC Coyote Brown

I would have named it baby-schit brown.

Uh, which Eagle green? There's a wide variety...

Olive Drab (real old stuff, like Bianchi holster green)
Olive Green (like Tactical Tailors)
Camo Green (more blueish, seen on newer ALICE rucks n pouches, Fire Force sells gear in that color)
Ranger Green (more grayish brown)
And USAF green (not sure which)

 

[No_Regerts]

I think of how they named crayons and it made sense to me. Brown, light brown, dark brown...

How many diapers have you changed?

Old school early 90s.
Like when they had the " Biafran mile run pouch"

oh man this really hurts.............

So probably the Olive Drab... there's only one source I've found of that 1000d cordura and its by Ripstop By The Roll (of course I have some fabric of that color)
Still haven't found the right fabric for some of my gear..... its a right pain to match the 1980s-1990s Woodland on the Medium ALICE rucksacks.. but easy as heck to match the late 90s LBV/ MOLLE woodland fabrics

 

[Knobgoblin]

Oodles.

It's like a gift from God really, being a dad.
I'm never going to change any grandkids diapers. I did my time.

Those aren't colors. They are flavors.

And USAF green (not sure which)

Oh you must mean the 'pickle' fatigues !

I wore those in the final days of their existence in the USAF and transitioned to the 'Woodland' cammos.

Not the OG106s or OG107s (I can never confirm which) but this.
Eagle Industries USAF contract DFLCS kit with Tan 499 buckles... not sure if these are before or after the gravel digital tigerstripe ABUs.

Ever notice that many of these have more syllables than actual words? Saying WML is 3 syllables. Gun light is 2.

Yes it is - and then after your divorce your daughter wants to leave mom and come and live with DAD is when you really understand the reality of it - like I did!

LPVO (4 syllables). Scope (1 syllable). Leave it to people to make a simplification more difficult to say than the actual words.
