ByteFlighter Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Yeah Im with you there, I've never understood why any service member effectively "buys" their own uniforms, kinda idiotic. Though, I do think the Army finally made the correct decision as this is the sharpest uniform I've seen out of the Army in a long time. Now, if only we could get rid of those stupid black berets and bring back flight suits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike0331 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm pretty stoked. First part of being cool is looking cool. This takes the edge off hanging up my dress blues when I left the USMC. Mike 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedude Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 The good news is the uniform isn’t mandatory until 2028 so I won’t have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 What does this mean for pilots, though? Still wear A2CUs to work every day whether youre scheduled to fly or not, just in case you do end up flying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByteFlighter Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I believe Sgt. Major Dailey said that units doing greasy monkey business will still be in ACUs. They only want to change the office environment from ACU to the new service uniform. So if you are staff or something it might affect you....Not sure. I haven't personally seen any real directives about it yet. I don't think they've even finalized the uniform design, just finalized the eventual wear of it.

Rat_Taylor Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 It is a good looking uniform for sure! I can't help but wonder if it will be similar to "Chucks Fridays" when I was in the USMC. I was a diesel generator mech and we did plenty of "greasey monkey business" even on Fridays. We would wear the Service B/C depending on the season to formation, then change over to cammies and get to work. The only problem was that since it was the UOTD for Camp Lejeune we HAD to be in a service uniform to go to the Chowhall,PX, or pretty much anywhere anyone could see us. It was slightly an inconvenience and all in all not many wrenches got turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soon2be2LT Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Read an article that said a WW2 style bomber jacket will be optional as well, so there is something to look forward to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
