The U.S. Army's top enlisted man is close to unveiling the final version of the World War II-era Pinks and Greens uniform that could be approved for all soldiers next year. Sergeant Major of the Army Daniel Dailey and Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley began considering the possibility of bringing back the iconic two-tone uniform of the "greatest generation" for soldiers to wear as an everyday office uniform earlier this year.

I have always felt that pinks were the proper uniform.

...and a good conduct badge they took away from me.

I sense a story in there.

I figured “pinks” would be for the queers...

Perhaps you’re thinking of the “dress pinks” that the Obama promoted perfumed princes wanted to replace the current dress blues? /s

I’m so intimidated. /s

The article did mention they were bringing back a brown brimmed service hat and a C__t cap that isn’t quite as pointed as the old ones. Seems like all the services with the exception of the jar heads change uniforms every time they change their Chief of Staff. Millions of dollars down the drain every time they do it.

Now we need to get my Air Force to get back into a uniform that doesn’t look like a bus driver or doorman.

The Navy, OTOH-

A failed attempt to look as good as Marines.

We’re the lollipop men!

Why is this a priority? Doesn’t the Army have better uses for its money?

[angcat]

I like the dress blues better.

I think a belted coat is a mistake.

Clearly, belted coats are all sorts of wrong:

Millions of dollars down the drain every time they do it.

I’d better still get to wear my blue cord!

Why doesn’t this picture have a black female in it? its clearly not inclusive enough.

[Leaning Right]

By the way, the photo in my post #26 is legit. But someone photoshopped it to make the NK generals look even more ridiculous. Notice the new medals on the arms and legs.

[knarf]

Yeah .... n'I ain't tellin'

Let's just say I cut my FR teeth between 1965 and 1968 .... the rest is/was finishing school.

Oh yeah ... I f'got .... a MARKSMAN medal too !

(Can anyone spell "nominal" ?)
