Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New Army uniform, the "retro" look.

I like it. Glad I got out before I had to buy another uniform though. I've got at least 6 different uniforms taking up space in the closet as it is.

Who ever wrote that should have his dick cut off and made to eat it.

She probably doesn't have one, but in today's Army, who knows.

Are they actually going to do it? I remember the Army Times running stories about a possible change to that style uniform in 1996. Of course, back then people bitched about the green Class A uniform. But I think the impetus was frinally the switch to what had formerly been the dress blues as a full time duty uniform. It was awful. And given the fact that most people wear the jacket too big so that has no form, it really looked like a fancy bus driver’s uniform or a hotel bellhop. Amazingly bad...

So, now we finally get to go to a more classic look. To bad we didn’t do when there was so much WW II nostalgia in the 1999s and early 2000s.

talk about gay ? rainbow rangers are next

69th battalion of "the fightin' fa ggots"

Why not bring back the khaki uniform?

Any website other than the paywalled NYT?
Now I can't even view it in private mode.

They all look the same to me, completely gender neutral.

Look at Craigsters link above, it worked for me.

I would put the one I have in the closet on and model what they looked like 51 years ago, but it was designed to fit a much smaller person!

Amazing how much clothing can shrink over the years when simply hanging in the closet.

It is not limited to uniforms nor does it take fifty years. Ten years has resulted in notable shrinkage in simple work duds...

If you're gonna keep the women in the Army, at least put them back in skirts, and enforce the weight standards. I was at the Air Force Exchange yesterday, eating lunch with my wife, and I swear I thought I saw a couple of female hippos waddling by in Air Force camo. Wouldn't want to see those in skirts any time soon.

DFB,s
Disgusting fat bodies...
On pt/med profiles temp or perm
Male and female alike
Soft shell MOS,s mostly.
Give a 21 or 22 yr old combat arms type that has been in the schitt an honorable discharge after his 2- 4 yrs his GI bill and other vet benefits when he ETS,s.

Give duds who are fat, fail to advance, cant pass a pt test or whatever, a huge benefit package with separation money, preferential .Gov hiring, and extended ID cards benefits ect ect ect.
Seen it during the RIFs in the early 90,s.
Both daughters (officers)say it is going on again.

Nothing ever changes.....

Bring back puttees!

Back in '95 I wasn't riffed but the writing was on the wall. Despite a fine career Clinton's DOD was shrinking my odds to advance. Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) had seperated me from the wife. The only time I saw her in two years was when I went home to bury my mother. So I ETS'ed with an honorable Discharge. I signed out of Division next to a PFC who two months earlier was a twelve year Staff Sergeant. He read the reports and decided to come to work at 1300 hours every day until he was busted from E-6 to E-3. Then, having passed the Retention Control Point for paygrade E-3, the Army bought out the rest of his recently extended enlistment. At the finance window I picked up my check for unused leave. I had $237 dollars to make it back to the west coast. He in turn picked up a check for $35,000. He bought me a coffee to start my journey home.


I do like the look of that uniform. My dad and Uncles were WWII vets. I'd never be as good as them, but I would at least like to look like them.

America!

They should have gone with the Jew Jersey State Troopers uniform. Best US uniform.

Have you ever worn puttees?????
