Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Did you keep your Class A's?

Friends:

Figured this was a better place to post than on the Military board: I know more of the folks here.

I'm going through our household effects in anticipation of an upcoming move and paused at my Class A's (in my case "AF blues").

Lotta memories there, but I haven't worn them in years. And they probably don't fit anymore either....

My decision was to let them go, although I absolutely kept the dress sabre (weddings, potential future sqills on the barbie (yeah, right!), etc.), and a couple BDU's and dress shirts.

Yet a question for the fire: After separating did you keep your class A's?

Any viewpoints warmly welcomed.

Got rid of my class A’s but kept my dress blues.

Kept nothing but my command ball caps.

Same here. Dumped my A’s and everything else out of my seabag in the middle of supply and said give this stuff to whomever needs it. Kept my blues.

All i kept was my winter coat, got out in October, never looked back. Rio7

Nope got rid of them the day I came home with my retirement papers. Hated wearing those damn things from the first time I put them on.

Kept all my dress uniforms.

Sold my class A's to a fellow soldier 30 minutes after out processing. Was the new polyester set which we had to buy ourselves if we wanted them, weren't cheap like the issued sets. I stripped it of ribbons, badges and name tag.

I have my ASU top with all my decorations. I also kept set of BDU’s, DCU,s, UCP’s (universal camouflage pattern) And OCP’s (operational camouflage pattern) ie multicam

All that remains of mine is 2 field jackets and old olive drabs that my kids have.
And a couple olive drab shirts.

I'm not sure what Class A's are.

I had to turn in items/quantity originally issued. Left the facility dressed as a civilian. 1963 Oakland, Ca.

Kept one set of class A's and all my multi-cam/daily wear. Gave away my PT uniforms. Gave away dress jacket/coat.
I wear my OCP pants when knocking around the house/shop and sometimes hunting. Free clothes (well, kind of), why not use them?!

After a few years in the closet, mine shrank up so I could no longer get into them, so out they went. Still have the flight crew parka with the fur hood and some Vietnam jungle fatigues. Should be selling those, if I kick over they will just go out with the trash.

kept everything except 1 winter jacket. I have about 10 flight suits, went to a military surplus store here in Vegas they're selling for $50-75, if I had them here I'd get rid of them

My daughter came up from the basement a while back. She was dressed in my blues. Made it worth it to keep them for the last 20 years

Used mine for work clothes when changing oil, etc. I can't honestly recall whether I ever wore them when I was in.

Guess I'll be buried in my Air Force Blues. I still remember seeing my Grand Dads Air Cav patch on his uniform when he was buried. Made an impression

I was just a small rat when dad and I went to grandmas house to clear out his overseas trunk he’d had stashed in the attic.

He pulled out several Army uniforms and a few khaki colored pants. I remember two Alamo Scout patches attached to a couple of his jackets.

Everything went to the Goodwill. Years later, I discovered those Alamo Scout patches are worth up to $5k each.

Damn!

Kept my Army Class A Greens and Blues. I gave my old khakis to my nephew. I still have a set of BDUs in the closet also even though my leg would be a tight fit in the waist.
