ASUs should go back to dress blues as well. However, on another of your discussion threads I indicated that berets (but for SF and Ranger) should be ditched for a return of the service cap and the garrison cap (glider patch for airborne troops). This would be consistent with a return to the pinks and greens as I see it!<br />Response by LTC Stephen C. made May 7 at 2015 11:52 PM2015-05-07T23:52:24-04:002015-05-07T23:52:24-04:00SPC Angel Guma651398<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>George Washington and Robert E.

Issue coveralls to each and every soldier. Ban tanker boots and jump boots and have one fracking awesome pair of boots so there wouldn't be a need for all the other ones. Clean up the army uniform and get rid of all the excess trinkets that just cheapen it to point where a E-4 looks like a third world dictator. Make drivers training part of AIT and OBC or what ever they call it now.
