They just better not bring back the beret BS. Leave that to the folks that earned it.

In a sense of effectivness...It's shit. But I like the Navy's the best...The blue is awesome looking.

Army and marines to someone who doesnt know any better are closer looking together and the airforce looks like the army's colors it's just a different pattern.

But man man man servie men i've spoken to said they all find them pretty fucking useless.

Even more useless? The safety belt.

Agreed, the navy's are the best looking.

The AF's are the ugliest. Why the fuck did they pick those colors? About the only time I could see those colors "blending in" with anything is if an enemy attacked an airfield on foot, and our airmen took cover behind planes and hangers.

Thing is, most of our hangers are painted regular green (read BDU green) not sage green. ABU's don't blend into shit.

Oh, and the guys and girls that would be around the airplanes and hangers wear blue coveralls.

Just hope that they don't go for the bloody wedge. No one looks good in a wedge.

Well, except my drill sergeant, but then she looked good in everything right down to nothing.
