Sergeant Major of the Army Defends Plan for Pinks and Greens Uniform

I like the look of it, just wish they had adopted it instead of the ASUs which I bought in 2010! 1SG (Join to see)

“Pinks & Greens” .... only uniform the Army ever Had that rivaled the USMC greens.

I like the Pinks and Greens better than the Blues but my all time favorite is the Dress Greens. Does anyone know why they call them Pinks and Greens? Wheres the pink and green?

1SG Steven Kirkman - Yes, sir. Pinks & Greens are actually two shades of Olive Drab. The dark "green" jacket is Olive Drab shade 51. The light "pink" trousers are Olive Drab shade 54. Under certain light conditions, the light color trousers take on a pinkish hue -- a long way from the color "pink." Those interested in details of uniforms should read the U.S. ARMY UNIFORMS series of books by Shelby Stanton.

I preferred the permanent press version of the Khakis, but I can't remember what we called them, but it was not khakis.

Had to be something before my time.

1SG Steven Kirkman - TWs?

Thats it 1SG, TWs, Thanks, loved that uniform, but we had buy them, not stabdard issue.
