I don’t honestly know.

I worked the flightline and wore BDUs everyday. The only time I ever wore my Class A’s was during basic and then enroute to tech school.

Mine weren’t up to date. I left the AF an E-5 and had E-2 rank on my “blues.”

The ongoing joke was that anyone who worked the flightline should maintain their blues with one less stripe than their current rank. Because if you ever had to put them on, it would be because you were in some serious trouble, and would be losing rank anyway.
