Well concidering that the US Air Force is the youngest service , it goes a
long way to explaining the fact that they erratic when it comes to their
uniforms. tho for the life of me i can't figure out why they need cammo who
are they trying to hid from the pilots?


cry havoc and let slip the hamsters of war

The Air Force just can't stop monkeying with its uniforms, can it. Last
time, they wanted to look more like the Navy (or maybe the airlines).

This time, it looks like the Air Force has a severe case of uniform envy
over the Marine Corps' new utilities. So they've gone and gotten their
own
custom cammies, too. They even have the of-so-modern Air Force logo
embedded in the pattern, just like the EGA in the marine utilities.
Except
the Air Force cammies come in fashionable blue, green, and grey, just the
thing for blending in with the wild blue yonder (or maybe with the
concrete
on the flight line).

I like the comment about needing "a uniform that fulfills our unique air
and
space missions". What, does it double as a space suit or something?

For a real sign as to how much this is driven by the Marines, look at the
soft cap that staff sergeant is wearing about half way down the page.
Does
that shape look a bit familiar?
