I'd have to say it's the extreme cold weather parka and pant set that was issued to me while my ARNG unit was assigned as the roundout for 6ID.

Tank boots, and the parka I was issued in Korea. Jungle fatigues and boots weren't bad, either.

The Navy's peacoat is a winner. Mine was silk lined in '67, stolen in '68 by some hippie.

Spent most of the time in Marine green and a nomex flight suit which I deem the worst item for comfort, appearance and smell.

The Ike Jacket, when I had the shape for it. It went out just before I entered the Army. I still have one. Its a little tight. I'm suprised they don't issue the old tan shorts, or do they?

Did Lady Godiva ever engage in battle?

I was perfectly happy with the dungarees, boondockers, and blue jacket.

They all look good to me.

Right now, the desert fatigues are my favorite. When I see those all around me, I feel very, very safe. ;-)

>What was/is your favorite military uniform?

The simple look's cool . . . (But if you're gonna beam down don't wear the red shirt!)

[Sarajevo]

How about the early BDU's with the wide "Disco-Collar? Better yet, the Bad Toelz PT uniform-spandex shorts and a tank top!

[longhorn too]

I went to Navy boot camp in 1968 in San Diego, Co. 778. Were you in San Diego?

AF tan bush jacket,bermuda shorts and knee socks.

I personally am rather fond of the uniform worn by officers of the British navy during the Napoleonic era.

Pre-BDU camo jungle fatigues and the one piece flight suit.

I joined the Navy in 1978, and received the Zumwalt uniforms. Coat and tie service dress blues, (like the CPO's wear, just with silver buttons) winter blues (black slacks, black shirt with tie; nicknamed "Johnny Cash's") summer blue (black slacks white shirt called salt & pepper) tropical white (called summer white now) and ugly utilities (blue shirt with almost purple toned blue pants). Threw away the utilities right after boot camp and bought dungarees (Seafarers), and during the first summer, the jumper (crackerjack) uniform returned. They were expensive, but I bought in my first year in the Navy. I was so skinny that I had to have the tie removed from the pants to make them fit. I think I really looked good when I was thin. Loved the way they looked. I had a fine silk neckerchief from Mary's Tailors just outside the gate at Great Lakes, and liberty cuffs of an American flag on the right cuff and a Confederate flag on the left. Learned how to put just the right bend in the dixie cup, and had a Chief tell me to always wear it down on my forehead with just a little cock to the right. Change it from Service Dress Blue (Jumper) to Full Dress Blue (with large medals) and you have what I wore to my wedding, and my retirement in 1998. My only regret is that I never had a portrait made in that uniform right before I retired.

I've gained 30 pounds over the last 8 years, and could never fit back into my beloved crackerjacks.
