Heh. That call-up came too late for me...I was already out of the IRR. More than a decade behind you. According to that link about they figure to have the whole Army in the new pattern by 2007. The present BDU's will be with us a while, I'm sure. Heh. I'm remembering the last day of a Reserve summer drill; everything we had taken to the field was in the laundry. HQ platoon, all vets of regular army; me in the ripstop nylon jungle fatigues and soft-side jungle boots, the platoon sergeant in OG-107's, baseball cap and all, motor sgt in -- of all things -- Vietnam era tiger stripe and tennis shoes. Top didn't say a word. He was wearing BDU trousers and a white dress t-shirt.
