Hey! I often wear a Blackhawk Serpa thigh holster with my gear, but I can draw like lighting and wear it properly. The thigh holster is preferable if you're wearing body armor/tactical vest combo festooned with magazines and gear and impede a draw from a conventional hip holster. I admit there is a slight speed loss versus a decent hip holster, but if I'm armored up, the AR or shotgun is my primary anyways.
Just a thought for all you thigh-holster naysayers.
BTW, I agree, as a former Air Scout, I find the ABUs to be reprehensible!
Why do all the different services have to wear different kinds of camo? The nice thing about BDU's is that they were fairly universal. When I was stationed in Kunsan AB, Korea, there was a small Marine aviation contingent perpetually deployed there, and at least when we all wore BDU's they could go to our BX to buy shirts or trousers if they needed to or vice-versa if we were deployed to a another service's base.
