I have had many uniforms. In 1980 it was green fatigues, then BDUs in 82/83... In AK we had wool shirts, pants, Arctic mittens, VB boots, Mukluks, the 3 piece parka, and over-whites... Vietnam era Jungle Fatigues at Ranger school... Chocolate chip DBUs... 3 color DBUs... Multi-cams... Dress Greens, Blues, ASUs, The ACU Digital... ACU - OCP... The SWAT suit was the goofiest... or Polizei?

in 61 we were issued brown shoes, brown boots as well. khakis (both A and B), however there were khaki shorts and long light brown stockings to go with them. before leaving basic we had to dye the boots and shoes black, but the khaki shorts remained part of the class B uniform for awhile. CRS when it stopped.

When my daughter was born outside TBS Quantico in 81 we did the 95 shuffle to Belvoir. Lucky we were N bound, in my 57 chevy p/u. I was in camos and during delivery they gave me a pale green beret with matching booties. Didn't protect me though, my wife still bit me. Something to do with me telling Doc to put an extra stitch in.

My first base level honor guard. Women didn't have long sleeve blue shirts so the tailor shop took the men's shirt apart and put it back together so it would fit me. Of course the collar was still out of proportion but we had scarves so it didn't matter so much...I have a picture somewhere...

Same here. Fatigues. They were ugly and I thought at that time they looked like something a civilian mechanic would wear at a gas station. Sometimes I think they were meant to be shipped to prisons then the Army got them by mistake. I was glad when the BDU's arrived so I could throw out every pair of fatigues I owned.
