Just returned from jays hideaway and I wore camo all the time with having family in military I always have some . No issues if anything all the locals guys refer to me as solider . I helped a young girl outta a car in a accident in camo pants and they thought I was paramedic lol . I hope the little one was ok
Guess I will clarify that when the customs officer explained that i could not enter the country with the cargo shorts I was wearing it was the specific pattern and color of the camo that I had on. Which was this:

So did you have to change? I've gone through with woodland camo cut offs with no problem before.
Made me change and told me that they would be confiscated. Only bathroom was all the way back where you leave immigration where I changed and put them back in my luggage. She then let me pass without issue. This was 2 or 3 years ago....since then I still where camo in JA, just not that color or pattern and not on the plane.
Man. Thanks for the info. I'll have to keep that in mind for my flights.Quote:

Saw the same video, and want to $hit in that dudes mouth. With that said, and as a vet, I have zero issue with anyone wearing a pair of camo shorts or a camo shirt. Wearing a full set of BDU's and fronting that you are a vet or active duty is insulting. I have other thoughts on this but will keep it to myself.Quote:

I don't own any camo, but if I did it would only be for fashion purposes. I don't hunt and I am far from a military vet. However, I appreciate that the Jamaican laws governing the wearing of camo was shared here. I was previously not aware of these policies.
This guy pissed off a whole country

See what I mean about blaze orange camo at a Packer Game

Ah yes, Cap! Nowhere to hide in Lambeau, is there?
Another beautiful day on the frozen tundra!
On a cold day at Lambeau there is more blaze than green and gold. As far as camo goes, they are my favorite,old wore out,dont you dare throw those out shorts that I own. If they think my skinny,white 50+ y/o ass is impersonating or disrespecting any one in the military, they got some serious eye problems and issues. I wont wear them through the airport, but if they ask me to remove them I will. Drop trou right then and there and ask 'em to dinner. Nobody asks me to drop trou any more...Quote:

That's crazy lol I could understand if u had a full on camp outfit. Also I wonder when they started banning metal detectors. I met a guy who stayed on the beach where we stay and he went to Negril once a year and had a metal detector that worked in the water. He spent all every morning walking in the water with his metal detector. The stuff he found was amazing and he said that metal detector payed for two vacations a year. One in Negril and one at a different place. He even found a lady,s wedding ring that she lost when she was in the water. Maybe he just takes it apart and puts it in his suitcase and keeps his mouth shut when going through customs. Glad I saw this post but still think I will bring my camp shorts and hat but won't be wearing it on the plane lol.
I like it when people wear camouflage. It makes it easy to know I don't want to talk to them.

I never would have known it was supposedly taboo if I hadn't read this and I still kind of doubt it really is taboo, given the number of Jamaicans we saw wearing camo print on clothing or selling camo swimsuits and stuff.
If you dress in full camo and try to pass yourself off as military I can obviously see that as being a problem but I doubt anyone cares if you have printed cargo shorts.
Around were I live she would be pretty bored as she would be talking to just about Nobody,In some of the more rural communities hunting & fishing are a way of life hence the high density of "CAMO " clothing.Quote:

With respect, can someone please explain why CAMO would be worn while hunting? It seems to me that would be a very good way to get shot and killed.Quote:

Yeah, that's not correct at all.Quote:

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.
You will probably find the following of interest. Looks like a very good article on this.
