Does anyone there still wear the green flight suit? I don't see why we couldn't wear either in garrison. The win will be to scrap the ABU in favor of OCP.


There's still a handful of people that wear the bag, and there's also a decent amount of non-flyers who wear their ABUs instead of the OCPs.

There's never been any issues with "convenience stops" that I'm aware of, so for me there is zero reason to wear anything but OCPs all the time. Getting rid of the ABUs for the OCPs would definitely be a step in the right direction, IMO.

I find it hilarious that you guys still don't realize that you are getting stabbed in the back by your own community. About half of your "bros" that talk a good game right now are going to promote an

Except for the guys who actually wear patches for that exact reason. Thanks for playing. I just want my landing fees back. No reason to pay for a friday shirt I'll never get to wear.

I am not zipping my leg pocket even if I have to leave one cap in it and wear another.

That would be admitting that the ABU pattern was a mistake and like canceling ASBC and making SOS 8 weeks only to go back down to 5, it has to be done methodically to make sure everyone saves face. 

 

Edit for clarity: ASBC was a joke and never should have happened, the way it was eliminated allowed everyone to save face

OK, so it's not OK for USAF bubbas to make a "convenience stop" in OCPs but the Army bubbas who wear them can?

This all makes no fucking sense.  We were all good with one uniform (BDUs) before the crayon-eating Marines just had to be different with MARPAT.  Next thing you know we've got the Navy looking like camo smurfs or seaweed.  The AF ABU is a joke, and whoever approved it should be shot.  The Army pulled its cranium out and ripped off Crye with their Scorpion W2 (OCP) pattern, but it works (trust me, I'm surrounded by thousands of troopers wearing the stuff at the moment!). 

We gotta quit having so many fucking uniforms, it doesn't make sense!

Well.. Army gets out of their cars for retreat at the end of the day too.

I was an Army Brat for 16 years, with most of those years spent living on base.  I literally never once saw this happen.

I see it all the time, but I've been spending an inordinate amount of time on Army installations lately... :darkcloud:

I was TDY to Ft Dix NJ as a 2Lt and the base CC policy had the MPs stop and ticketing cars that didn't stop and exit the vehicle during retreat. End result of the ticket was supposed to be a personal meeting with the base CC.

Also saw Army officers do this routinely at Maxwell.

I greatly prefer a green bag to multicam. I'm sure I sound like that dude from Cannon a few years back about, but I worked my whole life to get into a bag with wings on my chest. It's juvenile, but I get enough multicam deployed.

The shoe clerks have won, almost 2 pages talking about whether convenience stops are allowed in OCPs.

Only a win if anyone reads them.

I, for one, will never wear OCPs. I demand all know that I am a zipper-suited sun god and not some regular, Army, POS!

Ever had a plate of lightly toasted crayons dipped in ranch dressing?

Don't knock it until you try it.

Anyone (other than AFSOC) wearing their two-piece flight suits yet?  

My small corner of AMC has been wearing them for about a year now.

Do you have the reference for this? Cause I would love to start wearing mine out in the deployed location north of Vegas.
