Now let’s get after the Air Force “blue” camoflage.>p> Just where and what does that camoflage? Good question. In my day (1977-81) we wore OD fatigues with white on blue name tapes & rank stripes. Just before I got out we switched to subdued OD name tapes.

The new USAF camo looks like it is meant to look "cool" in the office.

The USAF camo might hide someone who falls out of a plane at 30,000’ on a sunny day.

Being old enough to have briefly worn the pickle fatigues, I think the USAF ought to go back to that...maybe in gray, so that maintainers can lie down on concrete and disappear from view!

That pattern looks downright “Hawaiian” to me!
