The dark blue coat and white collar shirt are more iconic for them than it with us.<br /><br />Else, a dark blue \ black coat is too common anyways. I'm sure we service members want a uniform more representative and distinctive.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 5 at 2018 5:58 AM2018-02-05T05:58:45-05:002018-02-05T05:58:45-05:00SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member3325626<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, because all signs point to men and women having matching uniforms. I'm sick of my pillbox cap, neck tab, skirt and pumps. When you picture a Soldier in your mind, no one thinks of that. So sick of looking like a flight attendant. You can say that I have the option to wear slacks instead (which is only one of the problems) but I actually don't. According to regs, it's the Commander's discretion. <br /><br />I know some of the guys are going to vehemently disagree, but to force a woman to wear a skirt can be demeaning. I wear utilitarian clothing that makes sense, even in my civies. Why is 12% of the Army singled out for a separate uniform? <br /><br />Give me the unisex pinks and green or at least change the current ASU. Worth the cash for me.<br /><br />Note: Up until the last 1960's, women were still being arrested for wearing slacks. It's important to us.Response by SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 5 at 2018 12:28 PM2018-02-05T12:28:19-05:002018-02-05T12:28:19-05:00CW2 Private RallyPoint Member3325715<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, but they should give an issued set to all officers as well, or at least a real clothing allowance to cover the cost. Since I have transitioned into a Warrant Officer the amount of money I have spent on uniforms has been more then my take home pay for 3 months of BA. Also I think there should be an Army wide hold placed on any uniform updates for at least the next 20 years.Response by CW2 Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 5 at 2018 12:52 PM2018-02-05T12:52:14-05:002018-02-05T12:52:14-05:00MAJ Byron Oyler3325792<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No because I do not know when this foolish uniform change every few years will end.Response by MAJ Byron Oyler made Feb 5 at 2018 1:14 PM2018-02-05T13:14:29-05:002018-02-05T13:14:29-05:00MSG Private RallyPoint Member3325959<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. Nein. Nyet. Just once in my career, I would like to start and stop with one uniform style. I would also like for Clothing Allowance to be given back to TPU Soldiers. Until then, I say NO to all new uniforms....especially if the change doesn't benefit the Army...and especially when the person pushing for this retires this year.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 5 at 2018 2:21 PM2018-02-05T14:21:16-05:002018-02-05T14:21:16-05:00SGT David A.

No.<br />It's a nice looking uniform, but there's nothing wrong with the Blues. My entire career was tied to the Class A, Dress Green uniform and soldiers were always saying they wished the Army would get rid of them in favor of the Blues. Now, they want to switch to the predecessor of the Greens believing they will look 'better'. Same thing people from my era said about the Blues.<br />If they do switch (again) there should be something that locks this in for a period of time. Don't let the next leadership group repeat the process in a few years.Response by SFC Stephen Atchley made Feb 8 at 2018 9:56 AM2018-02-08T09:56:39-05:002018-02-08T09:56:39-05:00SPC Paul C.3723759<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not sure, but whatever the decision is, the Army needs to stick with it for the long runResponse by SPC Paul C. made Jun 19 at 2018 5:51 AM2018-06-19T05:51:37-04:002018-06-19T05:51:37-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member5249760<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think it would be nice to distinguish the army and air force again. Especially during recruiting or other public transparency events. Walking around Ft Bliss I've seen junior Airmen walking around with hand in pocket and on thier phone. The average civilian may not catch the difference and assume the army has lost its bearing. I use this as an example because it's happened. We are professionals of our job and should dress like it.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 18 at 2019 11:48 AM2019-11-18T11:48:21-05:002019-11-18T11:48:21-05:00CW5 Private RallyPoint Member5551215<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-424081"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

Also, the design with the tan "pink" trousers were historically only for officer ranks, including Warrant Officers. The enlisted ranks, E1 through E9 wore trousers that were olive drab green; the same as the jacket. <br />And finally, the service caps, historically, were for the male Soldiers only. Female Soldiers had a more appropriate and distinctive headgear.<br />These facts are being neglected in the decision to field these uniforms. Because the intent is to keep with historical authenticity, should not all of this have been considered?Response by CW3 William Robertson made Apr 20 at 2020 2:08 PM2020-04-20T14:08:52-04:002020-04-20T14:08:52-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member6200906<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, because they are cool.
