What are your thoughts on the new Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) and will you be buying them sooner or in 2027?

If I can avoid buying yet another uniform in the next 4 years until I hit 20, then I will. We didn't need this at all. But it is what it is. I'm just tired of buying uniforms.

SSG Benjamin C. - I believe it's up to commands to make it the office uniform if you work on staff...and I usually work on staff.

Reminds me of the WWII uniforms.

I think they are a sharp looking uniform. I love the WWII look. I think it is the most iconic period of the Army. I remember the the old school regreens. I wasn't a fan of them. they didn't look the part. I think these should have replaced. I wish that was an option. I will be getting a set as soon as they are able to purchase.

SFC Kenneth Hunnell I still think this uniform looks way better and way more fitting as a look for our Army than the current service uniform.

SSG Benjamin C. - The standard ASU looks like a cheap suit, I still have my Dress greens they issued me. Granted the new uniform looks better than the other ones

Honestly, I am just glad it will be Green again...No other color says Army better than Green, especially OD.

Considering I just purchased my blues and set them up for a DA photo (which now we aren’t doing), I won’t be buying the new uniform for at least a couple of years.

MAJ (Join to see) - That makes too much sense...Buying uniforms as a RC is ridiculous. Luckily us enlisted get them issued. If it is required, the Army must provide.

I just took a DA photo. They are used for more than promotion. But in the reserves I don't think they have much value outside the promotion system.

MSG (Join to see) -Between '89 and '90, I worked along side an E-6 that had that attitude.... he still wore his 1976 issued "Banana yellow" PT outfit. didn't bother to update his uniforms as DA made changes, thought the 'clothing allowance' was a bonus for staying in. Same with his Class A's... and he was to be my Squad leader...
