Air Force Bans Gloves
Change to AFI-36-2903 Air Force Dress and Appearance came out and effective 1 Nov 2011 - 'Air Force Gloves' no longer authorized.
Read and heed! 
And so it goes...

I'm fairly certain the Air Force has also banned swearing and mean looks......

we're not that bad...
we do some things right. F-16/A-10 CAS support to TICs.... CSAR support with HH-60G as well as some versions of the C-130s....
36-2903 is a long overdue clarification of dress and appearance. Some of the other stuff changed include: no more sand colored boots after 31 Oct. No more BDU after 31 Oct, no fancy or "foo-foo" watches ( i.e. Mickey Mouse or cartoon watches), no 550-cord bracelets, no "funny" nametags on flight suits, no friday squadron t-shirts under flightsuits, just to name a few of the positive changes.

Yeah, I'm sure fraternizing with "combat" soldiers both in person and on the internet will soon be banned also.......
"Airman Parks, did you just give me a mean look?"
"Why no, Technical Sergeant, I would never do that!"
"Good, and stay off Professionalsoldiers.com too, those guys are internet bullies."
"Yes Technical Sergeant."

But your ACU's are BLUE! Where does that blend in?

Not us, that is the Navy. Ours are almost the same colors as the Army uniform, but not the same pattern or smart placement of pockets, pouches or zippers.
First picture I found was an ABU ruck, but no blue here.

When I go to SJAFB all the time, they sure look blue to me.

Maybe Seymour-Johnson is also testing those new 'mood' ACU's the Navy is getting - the ones that change color like a 'mood ring' so your command can tell how your hormone replacement therapy is working.

Hmm.. ABU looks fine to me - though I can't say I've ever seen the forest it blends in with. Better than "woodland", for sure.
Dissing on the AF and Navy ? You guys are picking the low-hanging fruit today - we all know you can't start a good row unless you mention the Marines..
