I support any effort that makes nonners easily discernible from operators. I will say that if the day comes when the SARC shows up 5 days a week/6 hours a day in their blues, I will take a small moment of reflection to appreciate the heritage of the uniform while I roll my sleeves up and notch my flight cap..

Anyone who believes our cheap blues represent "heritage and tradition" to an extent we warrant forced wear haven't been outside their cubicle at shoe palace, ever (said cubicle is shipped to the Deid for them to get "their combat time.") How do "combat utility" uniforms not significantly outweigh blues when it comes to accomplishments throughout history and spawning of tradition? I think we should all have to paint our faces black during black history month, you know, to really help our heritage sink in. Dammit, I just gave some E-9 a great idea and EPR bullet.

For some reason the Chief's E9's quote in the whole thing pisses me off more than anything else. Somehow the ABU doesn't remind me that I'm part of something bigger, despite it being 75% as uncomfortable as blues. Or a tradition that lasted for only 4 years, that was tossed with much fanfare and relief, was something that we should harken back to like "the good ole' days." I'm getting tired of E9's thinking they're a step above their other enlisted brethren and forgetting that they're in place to provide council and feedback. No to nod endlessly at every drop of feces coming out of leadership good-idea hole. Just give us back fatigues so we can look kinda nice, and kinda like we're in the military.

I think the most telling part of that article is the woman "realizing" that the behavior talked about in the SAPR brief matched his actions and then pressing charges. If you have to go to a class and be told that you were "assaulted" for you to notice it then you most definitely weren't actually assaulted.
