Pink and Greens all-round

I like how they included a German-issued Schützenschnur, which was first awarded by Frederick William I of Prussia, and can be earned by U.S. troops.

The official Stand-To has come out on the new Army Greens service uniform, based on the iconic “pink and green” uniform worn during World War II. Starting to issue in 2020, the mandatory wear date for all Soldiers will be 2028. Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) — will remain the Army’s duty/field uniform.

“This uniform will be constructed of high-quality fabrics and tailored for each Soldier. This will be cost-neutral and covered under enlisted Soldiers’ annual clothing allowance. The new uniform and associated materials will comply with all Berry Amendment statutory requirements for Clothing and Textiles.”

The colors…the colors

Just SMA Dan Dailey chilling at the Army-Navy game in the new proposed ‘Pink & Green’ dress uniform. Looks like a scene from It’s a Wonderful Life.

I kinda like the WWII vintage look. Hopefully, they’ll keep it.
