Army Service Uniform tomorrow?

[Cavguy]

I guess I really don't understand the resistance.

Most people I know hated the Class A's. I know I rarely wore them except for DA Photos over the past 11 years. Excepting that was "Payday activities", wich ended around 2001 as a concept. On the other hand, until I purchased Mess Dress I was wearing my Blue uniform about once a month to different functions.

Most people like the Dress Blue Uniform, as demostrated by repeated surveys.

For soldiers, one less uniform to maintain, and the Blue uniform looks much better. Everyone has an opinion, but as RTK indicated, over 90% of the soldiers indicated they would prefer the Blue to the Green uniform.



The key problem was how to reconcile the "flair" on the Class A with the more restrained look on the blue uniform. I think they struck a fair compromise.

I seem to be rare on this board, but this is a good change, IMO.

EDIT: Not sold on the placement of the combat patch. If the female pictured above is accurate, the 1st CAV patch is going to look silly and take up half the front! :O
