ABU Wear Test

[-_adrian_-]

I have been reading through this thread, and as one of the newer people here I find it interesting to say the least.  But, I have one question.  Could someone please tell me what a "smurf suit" is?  Thanks.

A Smurf suit is the Blue corp corporate BDU uniform.

Incorrect. The "smurf suit" was a blue jumpsuit no longer autorized in CAP.

Oh sorry that's what I always thought it was.

The smurf suit was one of the most inexpensive and practical uniforms we had. The combos that it had were fantastic. Boots,low quarters,flight cap,baseball cap.

Who cares about practicality when you can have multiple specialized and costly uniform combinations that continually change? [emoji12]

Imagine if the smurf suit had remained in a more tolerable darker shade of blue? Talk about a comfy uniform.

It's a shame there was no giant white hat that came with it.

Red for commanders

The new CAP song would have gone "Support your local CAP: Get la la la la la lost."

One day I was completely embarrassed as my uncle had given me a white watch cap. I wore it with the smurf suit to a SAREX or to a meeting. Someone made the connection. I had forgotten it...

Well, he could but there's just no regulation supporting it so it would all be a metter of good guestimating based off the package.  But for all we know when the AF did approve it (I think it proves you know where froze over) they made some changes to the package.

That and $3.15 will get you a large Iced at Dunkin Donuts.  After all CAP runs on Dunkin.

Show me the authority.  The guidance.

Once you have those, the world is your oyster.

(BTW, a snappie of a slide from a region conference constitutes neither authority nor guidance.  Nor does a post on CAPTalk.  CAPM 39-1, or a relevant ICL to same, however, is a different matter. )

Or if you are south of the Mason-Dixon Line, it's Krispy Kreme...

Krispy Kreme, sweet tea and Chik-Fil-A(or KFC in some areas, YMMV). Life is good.

Too much of any or all of those, and not enough work/metabolism will result in the BBDU for you.
