The “pinks and greens” would be an alternative to the blue Army Service Uniform for official events, similar to the Marine Corps‘ green service uniform.

Looks sharp, a professional uniform for garrison use. Hell, if we're going back to war with Korwa, might as well being the uniforms from the 50's back too!

Latest I've heard is that the Ike jacket and the leather flight jacket would both be authorized options.

CPT Lawrence Cable - I can't remember the General's name, but we had one visit us on the DMZ in 1971 wearing two Pearl handled six guns and wearing a waist-length Ike Jacket. I believe this would be a welcomed change.

SFC Domingo M. - Probably Ivory rather than Pearl. According to Patton, only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans Whorehouse would carry a pearl handle pistol.

This is pretty much the uniform I described in another post on the subject of the Army service uniform. As in that post I would still recommend a fixed wear out date for the current service uniform, as in the current uniform is worn until dd/mm/yyyy, after which date only the new uniform is worn. No overlap in wear dates. And that every Soldier, enlisted and commissioned would be issued a voucher in an amount sufficient to purchase two sets of the new uniform including trousers, blouse, shirts, belts, scarves and an Ike jacket(that ought to upset the bean counters enough to scuttle the idea altogether, but it would reduce the burden on the troops). And that the uniform service life would be at least that of the longest lived previous uniform style(a fifty year period that would reduce the burden of uniform change on the troops and appease the accountants).

AAFES would be the first ones to shout, as they would lose a lot of their revenue if everyone got free uniforms! But I like it!

Agreed sir I'm going bankrupt with all the uniform changes please let's atleast put this off for another few years. They look nice they really do but can't keep affording to buy new uniforms.
