Army makes it official: Green Class A’s done
Army makes it official: Green Class A’s done

By Gina Cavallaro - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday Aug 20, 2008 9:24:47 EDT

The days of the green Class A’s are over.
The Army’s plan to make dress blues the only Army Service Uniform has been approved and soldiers who own the uniform are encouraged to begin wearing it now, the Army announced Wednesday.

The move to eliminate the green uniform is designed to streamline soldiers’ clothing bags while modernizing the way the traditional blue uniform is worn.
The new wear policy was announced Wednesday in an Army-wide message from Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey and Sgt. Maj. of the Army Kenneth Preston.

That makes a fashion statement I do not think would be in keeping with my personna. The only thing that is missing is a swagger stick.
