Anyone notice the uniform worn today by COS T. Michael "Buzz" Mosley at his retirement ceremony??

[Tubacap]

^^^  That's interesting, look at the new male uniform, the major is wearing a coat with what appears to be flag officer sleeve braid...

That's the Honor Guard uniform. If you look at the airmen in the background, they're wearing the same thing.

Except the general has no belt, which is fine IMHO. I think his coat looks good.

The "Major" is a LtCol, the CC of USAF Honor Guard.

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate...

I was talking about the Major in the new uniform on the uniforms website in the post immediately above mine ( http://www.airforcetimes.com/projects/flash/2007_03_16_afuniforms/ )

Seems to me the style of the new service coat is very similiar to the style of the one we (and the AF) wore just before the current one.

I like it without the belt.......the belt , well it just doesn't work, is cumbersome and makes those who are "round" look much more "round."

I like the model without the belt.  When you have a belt, you need to have it tailored tight.

When it comes to belts and dress blues, there can be only one!

I see what you're saying. That is rather unusual.

I looks like we have come full circle from where Gen McPeak took us to with the 3 button suit :clap:

Now that looks like a Uniform Jacket!

[JohnKachenmeister]

I think you are right about the AF times 360 showing the wrong sleeve braid.  Good eye!

[lordmonar]

I think they were going to widen the braid on the new uniform.....

Just one more thing that they decided to nex, by looking at Mosley's uniform.

[MIKE]

I like the cloth self-belt version better.

[PHall]

The General was one of the "wear testers" of the new Service Dress coat.
So what he was wearing may not be the final product.

When it comes to belts and dress blues reds, there can be only one!

I agree:

[JohnKachenmeister]

I just watched an old Robert Mitchum movie, "The Hunters" and the uniform looks identical.  I like it!  When are we getting it?

[Eclipse]

You can see it in "I Dream Of Jeannie", too.

I hate to be blunt, but isn't it practically the old USAF service dress just in a different shade and with slightly different tailoring? And by "the old" I mean the one our cadets are still authorized to wear, pre-McPeak one.
