Today was the last day for the Army Green Service Uniform. So long farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, good night..... The dress blue Class A uniform is the only approved Army Service Uniform. How do you feel about this? I always thought the dress blues were much classier than the dress greens and we all looked like walking pickles in it.

CPT Jim Schwebach - I think you hit on something there. Most Generals carry a bit more around the waist. The latest uniforms seem make normal sized soldiers look fluffy in the middle, don't they?

I rather like this photo of a WWII MP on duty at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Now that's an Army photo for you....lol

I'd also get rid of the Beret, and have everyone wear the campaign hat.... while we're talking about uniforms......

I will miss it. I also miss the service stripes and the distinctive size that the blues had but the ASU'S do not.

Greens for my entire career from '87-'13, to me the Blues were always for that special occasion and look so much better than the ASU version does, at least IMO. Still think they should have gone back to a uniform similar to the WWII look and kept the Blues as was.

Real simple to me. Why are in a constant state of flux on uniforms? Unless there is a safety or national security reason, leave them alone. Good Grief, its getting so you don't know the branch of service anymore. On the bright side, the MIC appreciates the effort.

CPT (Join to see) - I guess I am just "old school", but I am sad to see the "greens" go. I like the Army Blue uniform, but think it more appropriate as a dress uniform, as originally intended.
I also was never a fan of the idea to get rid of khakis/TWs, as I thought they were great as a Class B uniform. Certainly much more military looking than the green pants/shirt combo that made you look like a bus driver, airline pilot or something.

Turned mine in when I got out in 2003. Have returned to service 5 years ago and still don't have a set of ASU's for one reason or another. Before someone says anything, no I don't have the finances to go out and spend 500-800 dollars to purchase a set!
