backseatdriver Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Are we changing uniforms again? I was beginning to like my ABU's..... Welcome to the very first post of this thread.

OverTQ Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I wonder how much money we spend just so all four branches can look different?
Seriously Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I wonder how much money we spend just so all four branches can look different? Not enough! If we cut back flying hours some more, we might be able to pay for it though.
M2 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Of course, now the Navy had to have a new uniform as well... Pretty much a combination of ACUs, MARPAT and MULTICAMs...
Ebony zer Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I received my captain rank with my multicam uniform but the its brown, like you would expect for a 2Lt or Major. Does anyone know if this is correct or should it be black? I searched but could not find an AF uniform policy for multicams anywhere.
BQZip01 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Of course, now the Navy had to have a new uniform as well... Pretty much a combination of ACUs, MARPAT and MULTICAMs... Well thank goodness all the services now look completely distinctive and we've spent how many MILLION$ to make it happen? Meanwhile our service fleet of aircraft and ships (read: "our national security") are living off of investments made in the 60s, technology from the 70s, and with these maintenance-intensive machines we are cutting the workforce Good priorities!
brabus Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I received my captain rank with my multicam uniform but the its brown, like you would expect for a 2Lt or Major. Does anyone know if this is correct or should it be black? I searched but could not find an AF uniform policy for multicams anywhere. I saw a dude the other day wearing that uniform and his capt rank was brown. So, guessing that is correct...based off my sample size of two anyways.
Guest Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Airmen are so in love with the Army’s lightweight MultiCam-patterned combat uniform that they went bananas when they spotted the Air Force’s top enlisted leader wearing it. They wanted to know why he’s so special. No shit. Why would he show up in that uniform? Douchmanlike Conduct Penalty - 15 yards and loss of down.

You'll notice in the above pic of CMSAF Roy's multicam's that his rank and name strips are brown. I guess it's the new blue! But what in the hell do second lieutenants and majors wear?

Ebony zer Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I think 1Lt's and Lt Col's will wear black to differentiate with 2Lt's and Major's. What about rank on the hat? I don’t think many clothing sales shops are selling multicam patterned rank to sew on.
NHbound Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 So apparently with the end of BDU's the AAFES online store is no longer carrying bdu/flight suit rank. The nearest real BX is over an hour from me. Does anyone know of an online retailer that carries flight suit rank? Thanks. ~NH
HU&W Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) So apparently with the end of BDU's the AAFES online store is no longer carrying bdu/flight suit rank. The nearest real BX is over an hour from me. Does anyone know of an online retailer that carries flight suit rank? Thanks. ~NH You haven't gotten the new sage flight suits yet? They switched so they could save HUNDREDS of dollars by not having to make two colors of rank (along with the associated shelf space at clothing sales). Besides, they match the puke green boots so much better. Edited November 14, 2011 by HU&W
Who? Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 So apparently with the end of BDU's the AAFES online store is no longer carrying bdu/flight suit rank. The nearest real BX is over an hour from me. Does anyone know of an online retailer that carries flight suit rank? https://www.mardonco.com/ Look under "Military Patches & Stripes." You have to call to make an order, so it's not completely online, but I've always had good results.
DUNBAR Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Please tell me that flight suit the CSAF is wearing has been photoshopped. Is that for real? I'm deployed and out of the loop.
backseatdriver Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Please tell me that flight suit the CSAF is wearing has been photoshopped. Is that for real? I'm deployed and out of the loop. In what picture?
DUNBAR Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I thought HUW posted a picture of it. Either he deleted it or I'm hallucinating again. Hopefully it's the latter.
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I thought HUW posted a picture of it. Either he deleted it or I'm hallucinating again. Hopefully it's the latter. I saw it, I may never be the same again.
HU&W Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I thought HUW posted a picture of it. Either he deleted it or I'm hallucinating again. Hopefully it's the latter. The pic didn't make sense so I pulled it. Should have put in an edit note.
StoleIt Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Can anyone tell me what color Captains rank is supposed to be on the multicam/OCP two piece flight suit? I'm finding both brown and black rank and zero guidance. Yes very queepy but if I can figure this out hopefully I can save myself and everyone else at my unit from future Chiefings. Exhibit A: Exhibit B:
Homestar Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Hmm. My OCP bars were black. Nobody said anything. If I remember right, my reporting instructions mentioned thread color of rank.
