It is about time the AF stopped walking around with hands in the pockets, and started using real gloves.
Am I the only one that caught Richard's sarcasm?

No, I think most of us got it.
Now I wonder what that new reg says about nice big floppy boot lace bow ties hanging down. Nothing screams, "I am a professional" more than that!

Pockets first appeared on US uniforms during the Revolutionary war period, when General George Washington had them added to the US uniform at Valley Forge.... so that US soldiers could warm their hands in them... Just a fun fact of the day for you.

My second sentence should have been in pink, sorry.
Those of us who have been stationed with our esteemed brethren know that you don't let your laces hang, and if you are smart you tuck your pants INTO your boots so the bugs don't crawl up your legs. People always look at me funny for the way I blouse my pants.

Real women don't wear pants tucked into laced-up boots. :

Oops...I meant wenches...but the 'W' on my keyboard wasn't working earlier. 
FWIW - I loved my AF gloves and wore them every chance I got...and still do.
