9. Shows how different people's tastes can be.

I loved the mint-green shirt Class B's, especially before they started requiring the wear of fruit salad on the shirt. Before that, fruit salad and other decorations were for wear only on the Class A coat. When you took the coat off, you were in Class B service dress, that was comfortable, and not weighed down with a lot of froo-froo stuff.

I do like the association of the ASU with the pre-Spanish-American War uniform changes, but I think it's too formal for general service dress. I wish they'd bring the green Class A's back. Only ditch the stupid fucking beret!

I admit I never liked the OD greens. Or the old khaki Class B's. Aristus Jun 2014 #5

I think what you guys mean is OG (Olive Green) pinboy3niner Jun 2014 #6

I grew up with the term 'olive drab', so that's what I always called them. Aristus Jun 2014 #7

I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for lunch, much less the composition of my khakis in the '60s pinboy3niner Jun 2014 #10
