Well, speaking of uniforms, has anyone seen the new Air Force blue/grey

BDU?
Seems the powers that be are tired of being mistaken for soldiers. Didn't
we have blue fatigues once upon a time?

Here at Robins, we're going to be one of the test bases. I've yet to see
anyone in them, but I've got my eyes peeled. The article on the AF site
mentions a new T-shirt, a 3-button job with US Air Force embroidered on one
side, and our name on the other. (Sigh) So much for squadron t-shirts in
uniform. Also, I wonder about stripes. Are they going to change the colors
to blend with the new uniform?

I seem to remember the blue fatigues were worn by missile crews. The
Thunderbirds still wear blue, with the large t-bird logo on the back.
