<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><p>My 1st question is why to begin with, aren't we all supposed to be Soldiers not gender separated or specific, equal across the board, why would we need fitted duty uniforms for one gender or the other, doesn't that take away from we are constantly having drilled into us about treating everyone the same and equal.</p><p><br></p><p>DOD is complaining about budget and money constraints, yet we are going to have two separate uniforms, spending more unnecessary funds when one uniform across the board for everyone has worked for generations of Soldiers male and female. Somebody made some money or points for after their military career on this one.</p>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT McLamb<div>I don't think we look professional whatsoever in the current ACU uniforms. We look sloppy and bulky. The uniform is either too big or too small for most women. It has nothing to do with fashion. ACUs are hideous regardless if they fit properly or not. </div><div><br></div><div>SFC Baber</div><div>I thought the idea was ridiculous at first too. But I am tired of wearing a uniform that is enormous on me and the size smaller shows off my curves entirely too much. </div><div><br></div><div>We get our ASUs fitted properly don't we? Why? Because we're suppose to look professional. </div><div><br></div><div>Besides, what does it matter which uniform we buy with our yearly stipend? Then again, the clothing and sales store is always out of smaller sizes anyway.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Air Force has developed additional sizing of the ABU for women, attempting to cover a wider range of body types and sizes.  I have been told that it helps....but let's face it, very few people really ever look GOOD wearing these things!! That is why there are civies for after duty hours!!  ;-)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I thought the SMA stated there will be a gender specific uniform out this year?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Now that we are returning to our Garrison status I think that we need to help out our high speed Soldiers that have known nothing but war or conflict.  In the 80's and 90's (Yes I am an old Phart) we had Garrison Uniforms and field uniforms.  Some of us even took our BDU's to a tailor and had our uniforms Fitted so that they look professional much like our civilian couterparts.  This included our covers and boots.  Then he had our field uniforms that we wore in the field.  Fitted uniforms may help a little but ultimately we all have to put our big boy pants on and look in the mirror to see what image we are projecting to others.  If we need to fix something lets fix it so we look professional.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>"Looking good" should be reserved for your ASUs.  ACUs are a working uniform and as such are functional rather than fashionable.  So.....no to the fitted idea.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>&lt;p&gt;SGT McLamb:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would say we all should look professional regardless of gender. I have to agree with SFC Baber on not being gender specific. I am old school and I would prefer if we went back to shining boots and BDU&#39;s starched. &lt;/p&gt;

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have absolutely no problem with this.  If you look professional, you feel professional and then you start to act professional.  If you look like a soup sandwich, well, you aren't going to feel like a professional and people will assume you are just a hot mess.  Before a Soldier even opens their mouth,you have already made assumptions about them based off of appearance.  Male and female bodies are different and we used to tailor our uniforms to look better anyway.  As long as the uniforms are functional, they should also look professional.  My humble opinion.

2014-02-10T11:07:44-05:00 2014-02-10T11:07:44-05:00 SFC Private RallyPoint Member 54832

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Let me rephrase your question.  How do I feel about a double standard?  I'm against it.  Soldiers aren't separated by gender.  Everyone is a soldier first, period.  Now we have uniforms segregated as well as pt tests, and these are the people that want to get into combat roles?  NOGO<br>

I&#39;ll use my wife as a example, she has a hard time with the standard ACU uniform, she has a small waist and wide hips and the ACU&#39;s pull down to her hips when she has to perform physical work and it drives her nuts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But in my opinion the ACU Digital Uniform looks like a sack that doesn&#39;t camouflage anything, in fact it makes you stand out like a sore thumb. I miss the old BDU&#39;s, hell I would even take the old OD Green Utility Uniform over the digital sacks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The uniform I miss most of all is the old army khaki uniform that was worn&amp;nbsp; in garrison. It was sharp looking and practical. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Military Supply Chain is currently Over-burdened with too many types of duty or field uniforms. DOD needs to create &amp;amp;/or establish ONE uniform for ALL branches, including the field gear as well. Espri-de-Corps can be maintained with dress uniforms.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Maybe I am off, but I have no issues with the new ACU-As.  My wife wears extra small extra short and those are still very bulky.  She has a pair of the new cut ACU and it looks much better.  She isn't swimming in excess fabric.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't see the issue with it, but the army should not issue fitted uniforms. The Army should continue issue regular uniforms, but allow both male and female soldiers to take them and tailor them at their own expense.  But the Army would have to create a guideline on what is acceptable and what is not to enable the leadership to enforce a standard.  This would allow for the personal comfort of the soldier and keep the force looking professional.  It would also keep the Army from spending unneeded funds on additional uniforms.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Personally,&amp;nbsp;this should have nothing to do with politics, fashion statements&amp;nbsp;or budget issues. Point is, as females, we have different body types and trying to fit in a standard uniform&amp;nbsp;can often be uncomfortable and restraining. As a petite female at 4&#39;10, fitting into a&amp;nbsp;standard uniform was challenging, particularly when wearing regular pants. Finding a uniform that was petite enough for me was quite challenging. Whether or not ACUs are fitted for females,&amp;nbsp;the important thing&amp;nbsp;is to have them fitted comfortably&amp;nbsp;for you while you stay within&amp;nbsp;regs. &amp;nbsp;

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe that the sizing needs to be tweaked for all, Personally i have a long torso but shorter arms and after a few washes my acu top shrinks like all hell, but if i get a long the sleeves are way too long. There has to be a better way for the sizes.<br>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I first joined... I was under the impression that we could get our uniforms tailored like my father and mother got their BDU's tailored. Not too tight or loose, but perfect to their bodies. When I did that to my ACU's I was ripped a new one by me CoC. I feel that if we are going to have "fitted uniforms" for the sake of professional appearance, we all should be able to get them. Not just females.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To the men: <br><br>If the Army were a mostly female force, would you be saying the same thing about your female shaped uniform?  Food for thought.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Since the wars are ending, I think we should go back to BDU's, that way we leaders can instill pride and more discipline into today's modern day Soldier AKA, millennial. That uniform was more multi functional, fit both male and female, and a tool to teach pride, discipline, and team building. Plus if you looked better than your PSG or SQDLDR, day off. Our black boot, same thing.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I agree. The females that treat the uniform as a fashion show have got it all wrong. 670-1 states how the uniform is to be worn and what is to be covered. Its called a uniform for a reason. Everyone is supposed to wear it the same and the only differences should are the natural differences in our physique. I'm constantly telling female soldiers that their pants are too tight and their tops are too short. We don't need to be showing booty while in uniform.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Leave it at one uniform. But make some changes and do away with the rank being on the sternum area. Put the rank back on are collars.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><p>To all the ones claiming that it can't be done without messing up the uniforms, it doesn't matter if you are in the office, motor pool, or some type of training there are ways to do it right, especially if we go back to BDUs for all services as it once was, except for the Marines of course, they have always pretty much had their own uniforms.</p><p><br></p><p>That is where coveralls come into play, my BDUs were so sharp for Monday morning formations you could cut yourself on them, I kept a pair of coveralls and a change boots in my trunk that I took to formation with me, either left them in my jeep or HUMMV before formation then put them on right after breaking for work. It is all about priorities and pride in the uniform and your quality of work, I took my BDU top off, switched out boots and did my morning maintenance from PVT E2 thru SGT E5 this is how my Monday maintenance days went, once I made E6 it was more supervisory, but I still pitched in when needed. </p>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe the Army should come up with a better fitting uniform for everyone. The one size fits all really doesn't apply. Now I'm not saying form fitted by no means because that will bring one a whole realm of issues the Army doesn't need. But you have some Solders who need special uniforms. I wear a M/S top and M/S bottom. Makes me look like I won the Biggest Loser contest but a S/R top and S/R bottom makes me look like I just came back from deployment roided up! I haven't seen or heard of these form fitted uniforms for females yet and if they have them as long as it's professional then now worries but again that's when leaders step in and make those On The Spot corrections and fix it. We NCO's have powers that are incredible when used! I SAY HOOOAH!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't agree with the female fitted uniforms, it's a waste of money and time. Work on a PATTERN that works and keep it instead of how it fits. I have never had complaints about the uniform I currently wear. Same thing can go for the way the ASU's are made for women, they're a bit funky. Yes, let's put the DS badge AAAAALL the way down here...it's weird and akward. Same with the service cap for females. The Army wants uniformity but constantly separating genders. This ACU deal is just another thing females are gonna get bashed on.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I feel the same way about ACUs fitted for males.  Do they fit properly?  If yes, then Im all for it.  Now if you are speaking tailored to shape, then there is a thin line presented between professional and indecent appearance!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I should remain the same with one basic ACU, not one for male and one for females. That just causes a lot of undue headaches...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm more for allowing people to tailor their working uniforms slightly. So many times I have seen NWU's that don't fit the sailor properly. If one could tailor it (within reason) then there wouldn't be a need for the Navy (or other branches) to purchase so many variations in sizes.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The uniform looks good regardless if you wear the right size and you are not fat. <br />When I was at LDAC, I wrote down my size "Small/short" for the 5 sets of acus they were going to give me. They handed me Medium longs, designed for tall men. Anyways. I asked for a smaller size and they told me that same line " This isn't a fashion show." For 2 weeks I walked around like a circus clown. When I bloused the pants they still covered most of my boots. I had to keep retightening my belt because it would slip off my hips. lol

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I've never tried one on...I do remember at the WAC HQ in the 70s, the amazing number of sizes women had to have, many more than men required.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't wear ACUs but I do wear NWUs and I can not fit the smaller size and the next available size makes me look like a giant blueberry. But like you said it isn't a fashion show. I sure do love my NSUs though. They're tapered so you can look feminine and professional.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm just sick of how many people have confronted me for wearing a 'tailored' top due to their ignorance that the ACU-A's even exist. Sorry for wearing something that fits (*sarcasm).

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The question now is who is responsible for the change, because that is where the problem started.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Fitted is contradictory of the intent of the ACU as a loose fitting utility uniform. <br />The loose fit allows for greater flexibility, more freedom of movement, increased air circulation and layering ability as needed/required depending on climate
