[edit] Blue is lame!

I think it is very awkward to keep blue uniforms in army of 21 century. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.168.163.233 (talk) 11:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Green is too Cold War-ish. Blue is good. 70.137.186.134 (talk) 03:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)\\

Blue is actually OK. Shame they should have kept the Civil War-style shoulder boards on official occasions and wear the rank insignia plainly on the shoulder straps when in garrison duty. It still sticks out when on official duty.

[edit] A question...

Does anyone know whether paratroopers will continue to blouse their jump boots, as they currently do with the Class A's/B's? I don't have any experience with the dress blues, nor have I seen anyone wearing them here on Bragg. Thanks in advance. Parsecboy 20:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I served in the 82d Airborne and we did not wear the beret or bloused jump boots with our dress blues.--69.139.30.50 14:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, thanks. So we'd wear the low quarters with this new uniform, even when it's worn in less formal situations (i.e., when you'd wear Class A's, not dress blues)? Parsecboy 14:16, 10 June 2007 (UT

General Casey is looking at letting SF, Ranger, Airborne and Air Assault units wear the jump boots. I really don't care for the grey shirt. It shoud have been dark blue (dirty shirt blue)for historical reasons. The blue trousers look John Wayne Indian fighter bad ass!

[edit] Marine Uniforms?

Isn't the mention of Marine uniforms a bit superfluous in this article? 155.219.241.10 03:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

It is notable, I think, to point out that other branches of the service have a trouser alternative for women. --Mukk 23:59, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
