Nice. Looks like a military uniform and not like our present circus outfit.
Oh, and when I'm recalled to active duty as the SMA (waiting by the phone as we speak)....I will decree certain decorations now null and void....glad to be in the Army ribbon, I went to NCO school ribbon, the Army Achievement Ribbon (replaced with a 3 day pass) etc....

Hope you get the call Sergeant Major. Few years back as I was planning out a shadow box in prep for daughter's retirement I started researching some of these little pretties and it was quite the "holy shit, what IS this stuff?" experience.

How about spending time and resources doing something like ohhh fuck I don't know, ammo for live fire training. Combat training. Marksmanship training.
I know I know weird ideas.
Rant off now.

Normally I would agree 100%...but I'd like to compromise and get rid of the present abomination and actually see soldiers in a military uniform...then leave it the fuck alone.

Agreed. My implementation of a "dress" uniform would be a sash that all the attaboys would be attached to, easily donned, and rolled up for the next payday formation.

Ok, not a bad idea really...simple and sweet. I'd say a simple sam brown leather belt and miniature sized or full sized gongs for full dress mess.
OTOH, who made the freakin rule we needed a different uniform for formal events...we do not.
I'll say it again.
There is no need for a set of dress blues or a mess uniform...none. Class A's are totally appropriate and no stupid ass bow tie.
One very military uniform for all dress occasions....period. (still waiting on that phone call btw)....

AUSA – Prototype Pinks and Greens
At AUSA PEO Soldier is demonstrating a prototype World War Two Pinks and Greens-style service dress uniform.
SGT Schacher and SFC Johnson wear prototypes of male and female versions of the uniform. This is only a prototype, intended to solicit feedback and there is currently no requirement for a new Service uniform. However, if this concept is adopted by the Army, the final uniforms will be different.
Here, SFC Johnson shows us the Class B Shirt. I’m very impressed by the work the uniform’s designers have done to research historical uniform items and adapt the styles to reflect modern tastes and materials.
What do you think?

My son still hasn't got his blues straight, yet, and he's only worn it once for pre-deployment inspection.

Hell, the starch isn't even dry from the last uniform change.
So much time and effort expended on shit like this when there are so many gears in the machine that need maintenance. The whole reason they fiddle-fucked around with the blue was supposed to be the desire for a single dress uniform.
Notice how they still have gender-specific jackets and headgear.
...somebody should get a relief-for-cause for not making these things gender neutral.

Looks nice and I like that they seem to have taken that stupid grommet out of the hat. I like it. Then again I haven't had to play these musical wardrobes, being of a certain vintage & all.

I’m not and never have been a soldier, but I was in Company C-2 Texas Aggie Corps. We wore these, or similar, dress uniforms. They are called “Midnights”.

Just thinking the same thing.
There should not be separate uniforms for different genders. The human body formerly known as female demands equality with the human body formerly known as male, thus no difference in uniforms, hats, shoes, underwear or anything else that may cause confusion about the wearer's human body perceived or actual birth chromosomes.
