Here's what I'm waiting for to happen in/with the new uniform:

Some SM [whatever rank] to let the epelauts go to his head and buy a Lightweight Blues Jacket, put [whatever rank] on it, and get into an arguement with some Military Person about not wearing  hat while outdoors in uniform.  I'm sure there will be stranger incidents, though.

Pace

Thankfully the Air Force doesn't make velcro epaulet sleeves like CAP does.  Said SM would have to use pin-on rank which (right now) is a no-go on any uniform.  Doesn't mean someone won't try it, unfortunately.

You know what I think.  I think someone at NHQ allowed retired USAF General Merrill McPeak into the building and asked his opinion on the uniforms.  He thought about it for a moment or two, recalling his attempt to make everyone in the Air Force look like civilian airline pilots.

"Gentlemen, I have your answer..." Merrill announced.

"What!  Oh please do tell General..."  they exclaimed in unison, "Please tell..."

"TSA Screeners.  That is what you should look like."

The Board Members looked at one another and nodded.  "This is good for we need yet another uniform combination."  It was said.

Then The Board Members all stood and pulled out their pledge cards and recited the Pledge of Silliness.  When the pledge was done the Master of Ceremonies announced.  "So Let it Be Written...So Let it Be Done..."

And those with many zeroes exclaimed, "Silver medals of vacuousness for all!"

Then they ate Sir Robin's Minstrels and there was much rejoicing.

Hmmm...something for the Uniform Manual Committee to do for about seven years.

Is that the First Book of Armaments or the Second Book of Armaments?

Okay, something positive:  Removing wing patches from the Air Force style uniform.  YES! 

Yeah, except I JUST finished sewing the wing patch on my new shirt!  Arrgh!

I feel your pain -- well, almost, CA has a weird-butt wing patch, but as for sewing... just did 2 sets of BDU's... >:(  Really wish Nat'l could make up its mind!

For those that just sewed wing patches on...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT IRON IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Every wing patch I removed left a little glue stain from where the end thread of the patch was glued to the back.  When you iron the patch, the glue transfers to the uniform, and when it does it ain't coming out...ever.

On that note, if anyone knows a surefire way of removing ironed-in glue from uniforms, please let me know.

Buy a new shirt.  Guaranteed to work every time!  ;)

You might try putting the shirt in the freezer for a while, let the glue get brittle,and then use a stiff brush to remove it.  Acetone might also work, but try it on the tucked in parts first incase it changes the color. Worst that can happen is you still have to buy a new shirt...
