Are you ready to say goodbye to the Green Army Service Uniform?

I'm not in the Army or an expert, but I think the green uniform looked more appropriate as a Service uniform. Blues should be a dress uniform exclusively (like with ours). Perhaps it does look more classy, but for me the green "suit" looks more relate-able for the job...

Rambo does not approve.

Being old school, the Army greens look normal to me. The Army blues remind me of the 1860s. They look good, but they clash with my mental picture.

I was roughly fitted my first set of summer [AG-344] and winter weight [AG-44] in November 1974. Since I was entering basic combat training and there was a realistic expectation that my size would change based on countless push-ups, pull-ups, sit-up, a few dying cockroaches and cut-aways [front leaning rest to parade rest over asphalt or concrete] the actual cut was made later. My first sets of greens were somewhat ill-fitted; but, since they were government issued and paid for I didn't complain.
My next sets I was required to purchase be cause I was going to be a commissioned officer. The funds were taken from our USMA cadet account [funds paid to us but sued to purchase government equipment, books, uniforms, etc,]. This set of greens was custom fit by Haas Tailors. I couldn't help but to compare the processes of 1974 to 1980 and level of care, to custom fit to the black stripe along the side of the trousers.
I had saved sets of uniforms from green fatigues, through starchable khakis, BDUs, mess and dress blues, and yes Army greens [AG-489 introduced in the 1990's]. All my uniforms were lost when we were evicted last summer - I gave them up because I did not have sufficient space to store them.
