It's quite a change, but so far I'm happy with the decision. The only thing I really miss is working with our troops on a daily basis, knowing that I'm helping them do their jobs better.

Let your buddy know that there are lots of people here praying for him and that we appreciate what he's doing!
Will do! Thanks for your service and helping the troops do there thing.

Love them. As a part time roof monkey (insurance adjuster) its nice to be able to climb roofs and crawl through attics and have the extra gusset in the groin area. They are also great for riding horse back in for the extra room. Have worn out about 7 pair in the last 5 years and 3 more on order last week.

You have to wash the black ones inside out and on cold water or they will fade.

I picked up 2 pair last year and I wear them when I go out riding my ATV. They're heavier than standard riding pants, and cheaper.

5.11 is the clothing most often worn by government civilians and contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. I've been in and out of both countries since 2002, and have been wearing 5.11's (as well as my wrangler jeans) the whole time. The tac-lite series pants are really nice for work in extremely hot climates.

Well the color is now faded to the point wear the pair will be getting taken off the duty line for wear with my uniform. I will be using them as regular pants from now on and will be needing another pair (at least) for my uniform as I hate my issue pants. So any suggestions as to what to try next? 5.11 or another cheaper brand for wear with my uniform, they must maintain their color and professional look no matter the brand.
