Here is the most updated AF uniform, looks more like a bus driver's uniform to me than a postman.
But don't worry, the AF is going to do away with Tony McPeak's mistake.

IMHO:
I really like Navy Crackerjacks because they are so traditional, sharp and distinctive. The junior enlisted dungaree uniform is awful. The Officer’s Dress Khaki was the best, but of course they got rid of that (Aviation Greens were great, but also were deleted). The Service Dress Blues, gunfighters, and khaki are OK, the Mess Dress is excellent and the Chokers are OK if you have enough on you shoulder boards and chest to offset the sea of white.
When the army went to that awful light green uniform they lost out. They just don’t have a nice uniform. They look best in combat gear. Their WWII khaki was a good uniform.
The USAF blue is better than the army, but its never struck me as distinctive or sharp. The light blue shirt is part of it.
The USMC is the hands down winner, simply because they never messed with their pre-WWII uniforms the way everyone else did. Of course a junior officer has to take out a massive loan just to make the purchase.
As for wasting money, it would be interesting to compare costs on personnel spending. If the USAF isn’t spending a lot more, then the Army and Navy should be investigated for fraud. When I took my family to Williamsburg this summer, I got a room at Langley AFB, vice any of the local Navy bases. Damneck has very nice beach front lodging, but it would have been too far away. Langley was tops, very nice overlooking the bay, and I got to watch the F-22’s flying around to boot.
