Skip this step....go all out for *Uni-Sex* uniforms.

[Professional]

Two thumbs up!

Pride and tradition!

[Joe 6-pack]

That would be cool, too.

[Always A Marine]

My father’s Army conquered Western Europe and looked sharp in its Pinks and Greens, and whoever replaced that beautiful uniform with the beltless green bus driver suit should be dug up and shot. This Marine’s only criticism is the exagerrated peak of the barracks cover, which looks like a South American dictator. Other than that, the Army got it right.

The Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University never gave up the Pinks and Green. Whoooop!

[SJSAMPLE]

When I was on active duty, we were surveyed numerous times about uniforms. Everybody I know said, “Bring back the pinks and greens”. Of course, that was 1986. Takes time and numerous uniform disasters.

[Sequoyah101]

Or sabres and scabbards, riding boots, spurs, white gloves and Sam Browne belts. Nor Traditions so far.

[SJSAMPLE]

They’re not wrong. Classic, including the “Ike” jacket.

We are what, almost two decades in Afghanistan?

This is why.

Focus on winning the war.

Please define what is "winning" in Afghanistan?

I don't think even the generals know.

75th Infantry Division.

[Thunder 6]

Because this is what the army needs today: a third Class A uniform change in the past 10 years. No really, there is NOTHING more pressing than this...

Excuse me Captain, should I move these deck chairs around a bit..?

[robowombat]

No, not the cloth division patch on the shoulder but the metallic branch of service badge worn on the lapel of the tunic.

[blueunicorn6]

They are paid a lot of money to know.

[Lean-Right]

I’ll hit the books and see if I can find
it.

[Lean-Right]

Logistics.

[elcid1970]

Patton was a Cavalryman. Jodphurs were SOP. His only distinctive uniform item were his sidearms & belt.

[Clutch Martin]

Green fatigues were okay. Especially untucked.

[MSF BU]

...and they have the blue infantry cord on the gal...how stylish.

[hinckley buzzard]

Geez. Looks like a cover for the Village People.
