We should go back to what we wore in WW2, like General Ike here.
The Marines got it right with their uniform, if it ain't broke don't fix it. And the Army should realize that the more often you change the uniform the less you can talk about tradition.
I'm expecting to see the uniform offered in a choice of colors and accessories soon.
Heya VM.Myself, I have always like the way the Marine Patrol Cap was Designed for B and C wear. I never did like the Army's Baseball Cap. Only time I ever wore one was in Basic and AIT. :lol:
Other than keeping he uniform board and vendors happy I never did see a value in changing the AF uniforms. Our service dress uniforms looked like commercial pilot uniforms and I'm pretty sure that's the look they were going for.
First time we went into SA we deployed in the Woodlawn green BDUs. Got there and we were issued the chelate chip DCUs. Except of course helmets, flak jackets and chem gear were all still fatigue green.
Still it's much they are much nicer than the new Airforce Uniforms
Okay.....ya lost me on the Adam Sandler Bit.
I think most soldiers have already made the switch. I know I haven't owned any greens in a while. I personally get annoyed with the constant changing of the uniform.
Marines definitely have the sharpest uniform, though.
No Doubt about it.....and wait until you see the New Super Female Marine Uniform.
Impervious Skin! :2razz: :lol:
One camo pattern for all branches of the military. Sounds like there's a McNamara in the Pentagon or the Democrats are at it again.
So the Army is still going to continue to let soldiers to wear the ACU while off base. Seeing a soldier wearing ACU in town or in an airport looks so third world.
The Army going back to the Marines utility cover ?
Nobody has ever came up with why are sailors wearing cammies aboard ship. Who are they trying to hide from ?
It's so if you fall off the boat you're that much harder to find in the water.

This is one thing I could never stand about the Army. It seems like every few years they are changing uniforms, making us buy a new set of something just because they want a "new look".
If I was still in the Marines, I could wear all of my dress uniforms I was issued in 1983, because they would all still be authorized. And the same with my Uncle, who joined in 1968.
In fact, in over 100 years there has been almost no change in the Marine Dress Blues at all.

What's wrong with the traditional US Navy uniform, as worn by Jack Nicholson, in one of my all time favourite films - 'The Last Detail'
Its about the combination of the post 9/11 massive influx of cash to the military services and the end of the rule requiring services to all wear the same ultility uniform. Some Admiral had to make his mark on the Navy, costs and practicality be damned.
Some problem with the Army, the Marine Corps got this hot **** new badass uniform and the Army couldn't just let the Marines be so cool looking so along came the ACU and the wear of the beret in uniform. Stupid planning, stupid decision making, and a total disregard for cost and the people who actually wear these uniforms led to this mess. Only the Marine Corps used the chance to make a new uniform to actually benefit their members, everyone else should be embarrassed.
Some people I work with/for tell me I have an attitude problem and that I need more organization pride, well I'll tell you that attitude only goes so far. I could go stand outside and flap my arms but no amount of positive attitude is going to lift my ass off the ground, and no amount of positive attitude is going to change the the fact that the Army ACU is a horrible cammo pattern and a horribly constructed uniform as far as durability goes. It would make a great potatoe sack but not a uniform.
You know what I'm hooah about? The new mutlicam pattern, that's a good uniform and a true improvement on the old BDE as far as pattern, material used, durability, feasibility.
