I have seen lots of Soldiers and Airmen wearing their BDUs in public. I don’t think USAF and US Army are even issued class A uniforms anymore....We (1969 to 1974) were not allowed to fly, use a bus or attend meetings off-base in fatigues but 1505’s were allowed. I lost my dress blues shortly after basic and hoped I would never need them. Bigger than shiite, I was being given an award and was ordered to show up in dress uniform. Quite a chunk out of my paycheck for a bronze star I think every man who went to VN was awarded.
I Know a Major in the USAF Nat Guard who cant find his dress blues. His daily dress is a flight suit because he flies KC135s.
