Camo so good I cannot see shit! |
|
Meh...other than showing every oil, grease, hydraulic fluid stain possible, I don't really see much wrong with it.
Does give off kind of a "look at me, I'm a felon" vibe, though. |

Unless they’re attached to a forward deployed unit they have zero need for camo. The old pickle suits would have been fine. They could wear rainbow colored uniforms and it doesn’t matter. The AF for the most part are technicians and admin.
The forward deployed folks usually get authorized the uniform of their deployed host with AF tags last I knew. Grey dickies actual make sense. Not a fan of coveralls as daily wear, kind of a nuisance to take a dump and get half undressed. Great if you are wearing them temporarily to cover clothes to keep them from getting nasty when you PMCS stuff with grease or oil. |

That will make it harder to spot the maintainers fucking off as they will blend in better with the grey asphalt/cement of the flightline.

Grey is the in color now.
I had grey things before grey was hot, house, truck, etc. |
|
This isn’t any more dumb than drone pilots wearing a flight suit.
They should change the headwear though Attached File |

JP, hydraulic and grease will really show up on that mono-color.

I don't understand the beef.
They put people in camo, everyone laughs about why maintainers need camo. They put them in solid colors, everyone laughs that isn't not camo. This is the whole "velcro" stupidity all over again. Bunch of drunks at a bar just shooting off at the mouth. |

Well, at least they don't look like pajamas that most guys seem to be wearing.

I've got nothing against it. Not everyone has to wear cammies, and a solid earth tone utility uniform in something like gray, coyote or OD would work just fine for stateside duty. Even deployed, it would work in a pinch.

Remember when the Air Force told OPs that bags were only to be worn when directly involved in flying duties? And then it turned out that everything OPs did was directly involved in flying? I can see this headed that direction for maintenance, fast.
Always enjoyed formations that required OPs to wear their BDUs. Wrinkles that had embedded into creases...buttons stressed to the absolute breaking point...because they hadn't spent a dime of their clothing allowance on uniforms for years. Are these going to be issued to maintenance, you know, like flight suits? |
|
I hate one piece garments, like flight suits, so there’s that.
My biggest question is why did they put a space between the pockets and the name tapes? Are these going to be individual property, maintained out of the clothing allowance, or unit property that can be dx’d? And that Holdgren chick has the hate-filled eyes and thousand-yard trailer park stare that I find attractive in a junior enlisted females. At least until the first stabbing. |

The AF constantly wastes time and money on stupid uniform changes.
I was instrumental in stopping the blue flights suits back in the mid 1980s. There was a program called Project Warrior to try to get all the shoe clerks to think like a warrior and at the same time a big push with testing of changing the green flight suits to a blue flight suit. I was a 2nd Lt. We had 2 guys in the unit demoing the new blue flight suits. Some 2 star showed up to see how the blue flight suits were working out the 2 star wanted a newbie opinion. He brought me into a closed door room and told me to tell me what I thought, don't hold back, don't tell me what I want to hear, tell me what you think of the blue flight suits. I told him that I didn't understand the reason, we have a project warrior program to try to get shoe clerks to think like a warrior and have the mentality of being part of the combat team and at the same time we take actual warriors and make them look like they are selling ice cream for a living completely changing their combat uniform to a non-combat uniform. It's stupid. 30 days later, the blue flight suit program was cancelled The USAF for some reason has a near constant desire to refocus away from combat ops and the mission and spend time and money changing uniforms and other stupid shit. I never understood it. |
|
And I'm sure the 2903 will be updated for them, including language like "will be clean, serviceable, and free of stains"
Overall, I'm not bothered though. Better than the green or brown coveralls I used to wear on the line |

Why not just go with dickies wotk pant and shirt. Coveralls woupd be great for maintainers while actively working but other than that. Not so much.
|
|
What's amusing is that it's a better camo color for central and west Texas than the original uniform.
|
|
I will go with the grey house and vehicles everyone is talking about.
|
|
It also can’t be worn in restaurants. Now do flightsuits? Not going to happen since that mostly affects occifers.
People often eat before heading to work. They should be permitted in DD or IHOP or McDs or ChicFilet with these work clothes. |

4chan will be trolling the shit out of them next with fake outrage about this being the legacy of white supremacy rearing its ugly head again with homages to Confederate grey uniforms.

All that budget money and they can't find a matching cap? Not just strong, but Air Force Strong.

Coveralls would seem to make sense. Are they supposed to wear Sky Camo or something?

View Quote The most common sense day-to-day uniform I've seen was what a few Navy guys I saw wearing at Norfolk maybe 13 years ago. Blue polo, slacks, ball cap. Office guys aren't suiting up to smoke terrorists or work on planes, it seems foolish to dress them like they are. |
