Of all the uniforms you wore, while serving our country, what was the strangest one?

Full MOPP gear. Yeah. You can pick up a lot of girls in that outfit :)

I don't have any pics (thank God) but it would HAVE to be the mess white maternity uniform I was issued with my first child. White maternity pants (the elastic was bad, I was forever having to pull them up) the top just looked like one big white grape, and I still had to wear/blouse my boots (even though I couldn't see them). My husband had to put my boots on for me at 0300! LOL
S/F

Coast Guard leisure wear...Patrol boat duty during Haitian operations. It was supposed to be "Tropical Blue-Short" but it was really the ship's polo shirt, blue shorts and topsiders. Drove the big-Cutter skippers crazy to see us in it.... which is pretty much why we wore it!

I HATED the women's beret from the early 1980s. This photo was taken in September 1983.

Basic training 2011 and it was a Burqa... There weren't any female soldiers in my basic and the Drills needed volenteers for OP4. None of the other volenteers wanted to cross dress for some strange reason so I said screw it! I'll do it.

"Aggressor" uniform worn by 1st Infantry Division's ad hoc brigade in Operation Bristle Cone, early 1962, Ft. Irwin, California. Provided by Ft. Riley's U.S. Army Aggressor Center, the uniforms were surplus WW II light wool shirts & trousers dyed dark forest green & topped off with surplus cotton khaki garrisons dyed red. The 1st ID Brigade maneuvered against 32nd Infantry Division, a National Guard outfit activated for the Berlin Crisis. Prior to the maneuver, the Brigade (made up of 1st Battle Group, 28th Infantry, 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, & 2nd Howitzer Battalion, 33rd Artillery) paraded at Camp Forsyth in those Aggressor uniforms.
The photo of an 18 year old "rompin' stompin' Aggressor" holding an M-3 submachine gun was part of a press release.

How about this one with the USAF Bush jacket and shorts ! I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that combination. Notice the reaction of the two female WAF (Women's Air Force ) Airmen, guess they noticed the old Sarge's uniform. Notice the uniforms they were wearing during the late 50s, 1960s into the early 1970s that was a summer uniform while men wore tan color 505s and later 1505s. Army WACs wore a uniform very much like what the ladies here had but light green instead of light blue. both had thin vertical striped patterns. By the mid 1960s the hem came up on the female uniforms to be more in line with current fashions. The bush jacket and shorts became obsolete and couldn't be worn anymore which I think was a good decision.

COL Charles Williams thanks for the interesting and diverse collage of pictures. Thanks for you honored service. I have to repost some pictures. But I would say the bear-suit (cold-weather)in Iraq was strange, I actually felt and looked like a walking, talking bear.

Not a uniform I have personally worn, but it's a uniform that bothers me every time I see it. I can not stand the Maternity Service Alpha uniform. Every single Marine uniform is slim and trim and really sexy. Then you get to the maternity uniform and it literally looks like they just threw a trash bag over the Marine and cut out holes for the head and legs. I honestly feel bad for any female service member that has to check into a new unit wearing this thing.

IX Corps Change of Command in 1989 or 88, hell I can't remember, but what I do remember is the uniform the LTG dictated that we wear. Class A green uniform, with bloused black combat boots (we were not an airborne or air assault unit), Camouflaged Kevlar helmet, OD LBE with pistol belt and M16 with fixed bayonets. Was a complete hoot with the ego, had never such a uniform, but the retiring GO wanted it that way and the incoming had no choice in the matter. I think I can find photos somewhere, but I was a private back then and didn't have anyone to get a photo of the occurrence.
