Great move. The Dress Blues were fine for formal occasions, but not for everyday use.
The Ike Jacket was gotten rid of because there were too many fat Colonels that looked rediculous in them.
My Dad wore them and looked great in them! They were gone before I enlisted in ‘64.
Got many pics of my old man (WWII Airborne) and his brothers (Pacific vets, Marine and Army) wearing those uniforms.
One pic, my old man standing “at ease” in front of the Arc d’ Triumph, captioned “Looking down the Champs”...
Conquering hero... with French women in the background giving him “the eye”... Heheh... Kilroy was, indeed, “there”...
