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?

Yeah, full MOPP gear for the whole day during the summer of 1980 at Camp Casey, Korea. When it was over pored about a glass full of collected moisture out my mask.

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

@GySgt James Elliott-sorry about the Jamison- that wasnt my intention! Seeing me in that uniform WAS laughable though!

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!
