And will the Ike Jacket be included?

I know that the US Army Center of Military History was asked for information and photographs about the WWII uniforms. It was the officer’s version that was nicknamed “Pinks and Greens” from its tan trousers and olive drab jacket. Khaki colored shirt and tie and brown shoes. Enlisted uniforms were olive drab trousers and jackets.

And I wonder if that means Khaki’s will come back as the standard “Class B” uniform?

Yet to see where the “Pink” figures into this. Uniforms do not look bad, nowhere near as spiffy as USMC uniforms.

“Pinks and Greens” would be better than everyone wearing desert cammys instead of class A uniforms. And I hope they include the Ike Jacket.

Always thought the pinks were a nicer uniform. The khakis were ok, but my favorite was the jungle fatigues.

If only khakis would come back as a Class B uniform. Knowing the Army, they’d goober it up with polyester and velcro though.

I’ll never see it. On final approach to retirement this spring. I’m okay with that though. After I was asked if I attended the mandatory transgender integration brief, I came to the following conclusion:

It’s not my Army anymore.

OH PLEASE, let Khaki’s come back as the standard “Class B” uniform!
