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.

The Army Green Service Uniform was originally worn with a khaki dress shirt and black four in hand necktie. It was a pretty distinguished look, then we started wearing the odd green shirt, that changed the look of the uniform. Ladies had a dress that color for awhile and we had lace staff cars that strange green color. Farewell to one uniform, hail to the blues and standing by for the next

I thought the blues would be better but they missed the mark again. Perhaps something simple with no badges or medals.

Its been over 50 years since I last wore my AG44?, anyway, when I came home in the summer of 1970 to my hometown of Seaside, Ca; which is close to Ft. Ord, Ca and the old home of the 6th Army's BCT, I came home on 30 days leave from germany as a Sp4, so I decided to wear my Khaki's, the flying Saucer, and bloused highlyl spit shined jump boots to Monterey, where the newly graduated class of BCT trainees with their parents would be all wandering around. Though I heard that local policy mandated a strict uniform policy, I was under the policy of my current unit A 4/41st FA, and the 56th Group, which allowed me the option of wearing our Brassard, on the right shoulder, and Jump Boots. So wearing all of this proudly, I sort of amazed the typical no-time in grade PVT/PV2... But that was over 50 years ago, so I do have that memory... of "KHAKI"S....

I liked the Dress Army Greens, that being said. Upon selection for Recruiting duty 1979, we had to buy our Dress Blues for school visitations, or as subscribed by station Cdr's. I rather like the early Dress Blues We didn't wear unit and combat patches on the Blues, just unit crests for current assignment. With patent leather low quarters and Service cap (bus driver). Mine ar still in my closet with a set of GREENS. Service cap bill crumbled to powder, and shoes dried and cracked.

While I always preferred my Dad's uniforms (he was Army Air Corp cum Army Air Force), he had three different versions, A well tailored set of greens looked very sharp, military, authoritative. They put a twinkle in the ladies eyes, too. :)

CPT (Join to see) I have to say I have mixed feelings on this one. The new ones look sharp yes, but what was wrong with the Class "A"?? I don't have the ASU's and I don't have the money to afford to buy them so I am not sure how I feel about it.

I haven't done my diligence to figure out why Blue would be re-adopted by the Army... I know the history of the various uniforms, but not why the Army would forsake green for the blue of the Airforce/ Navy. Long live the pickle suit and or the class tans of WWII.

I spent time in the Navy and then the Army.
I was in the 82nd Airborne.
Nothing like the dress greens with your jump boots on and pants tucked in with your maroon beret on.
The blues won't look half as good in my opinion
