USAF Uniform Board - Aim High (with Crack!)

[Draginass]

Didn't we see some of those uniforms in "Dune?" Or was it that Stalin wore them?

In any case, the old fat guy and the old fat bag in the photos need to go on the "Fat Boy/Girl" program. Or better still . . . retire.

looks like luftwaffe (sp) wear

I particularly like the one where the NCO is checking out the O's droopy old arse, who in turn seems to be pointing and saying "My arse may be nice, but check out your t#ts!"

All they need are whips!
Looks like NAZI unifroms made to look 21st century.

 

[Weasel Keeper]

They're not Nazi uniforms...they're Battlestar Galactica uniforms!

Hopefully they won't go with these. I'd hate to see some of our fat cats trying to wear the waist belt where it's supposed to go according to the pics. Luckily they listened to the feedback and got the ABUs right finally...which means we CAN save money in the USAF by not issueing BDUs and then DCUs for deployments.

Of course I'm like most of the pilot types in here regarding service dress wear (I'm a crew chief). I haven't had to wear my blues since 1989 when I did an NCO course at a base that's now closed...and while I worked a plane that's now in the boneyard (or worse...target drone duty).

If they feel the need to waste more money, at least they could try a little harder and get us some cool looking blues. Heck, they could save a lot of money and issue us what the honor guard wears if they want us to look spiffy.

Actually....go to a Star Wars site and look at the Officer uniforms from the Death Star. THAT is what they look like....and all of those were patterned after WWI Army uniforms.

So sad and pathetic, a complete waste of time and energy -- resources we don't have . . . misguided direction during a time of war. O, and let's cut some more bone and muscle (pending personnel cuts). Where is the focus today . . . surely it doesn't seem to be on an enemy who is intent in destroying us and our way of life. Aaaah . . . , I'm probably not smart enough to see the focus if it hit me between the eyes. Wonder when the last time the Marines changed their uniforms, not counting the BDUs they use now . . .

D@mn glad I'm retired . . . but then some of you are glad I retired, too.

To those of you still serving, I thank God each and every day for your sacrifices and service. Be safe / be deadly. Godspeed.

On one note,

Can you imagine any overweight Guard member trying to put on that belt?
They don't make belts that big...

Hey, why're you excluding us Reservists?!?!

More money wasting. We should have gone with the Army's new uniform and been done with it. The ABUs don't have enough pockets and the ones they have are in the wrong place and then there is the pattern that stands out and says "HEY! HERE I AM! SHOOT ME! SHOOT ME! I'M IMPORTANT."
The point is to try not to look important, it draws fire.
Not all AF types spend our days inside the wire.

And I just recently bought the "new" uniform (new about 10 years ago...)! I WILL NOT buy this uniform.

Those pictures make McPeak's changes look like minor alterations.

You think we should have the Army's bdu's for our service dress? That'd look funny.

 

[Phrogboy]

You know what they are missing? Real FUR collars and cuffs. Now that would be make em' look good. Maybe even fur caps. What the heck, if you are going to spend money, lets really spend money....

Think we could get them through the system then?

You mean the Hurricane Hunters...I hear the rest of us have to wear them.

Couldn't resist ;-)
