Is that authorized

Due to a shortage of the all-purpose clothing system jacket (i.e. ABU gortex), Brig. Gen. Craig Franklin, 31st Fighter Wing commander, has authorized the wear of the woodland-patterned camouflage Gortex coat or field jacket with the new ABUs. To minimize the the mixing of uniforms, it is highly recommended Airmen plan accordingly and wear BDUs on days when weather will dictate garment wear. 

This policy will be in effect until June 2008 when the new jackets start flowing into the military clothing sales stores.
