Weight Standard ABU/BDU

[PHall]

Has anyone considered that probably the quickest way to improve our relationship with the Air Force would be to get all senior members out of USAF-style uniforms?

You're assuming that this is an actual problem that significantly hampers our relationship with the AF.

It's called "A solution looking for a problem."

It's simple, you must meet the weight/height requirements in 39-1 to wear the USAF style. Don't meet that standard? You wear the corporates.

Sounds like a good excuse to go eat another slab of ribs. Extra sauce please!

Might want to get corporates first.

Be careful of that sauce with a white shirt......

[Luis R. Ramos]

That is why the polo exists...

To hide the sauce!

Do you have any proof of anyone "shaming" someone in corporates?

Not shaming, but I still meet US Army standards and I wear blue BDU's anyway, along with G/W's  More than a few people have asked why.

Because the regulations say I can.

I've taken crap before from high ranking CAP officers about growing a beard and wearing corporates. More in my current wing than ever before anywhere else.

I wear my corporates reasonably often.  Especially at encampment (BBDU) and when attending conferences.  According to the chart, I'm at least 50 pounds under, and no one has ever said anything negative.  Quite the opposite.

I like the corporates for travel because they wrinkle less and I can wear more comfortable shoes.  Since most conferences are primarily indoors, the lack of headgear is not a big deal, even for bald guys like me.

I realize that not everyone has choices, but I fortunately do.

Plus I have a closet just full of uniforms.  If you look in the back you can find my smurf suit and a guyabarra shirt.  Or two.

Yeah I'm making the switch too but that's my biggest complaint. The lack of head gear

The lack of appropriate head gear

FTFY.  It has "headgear" but it is a baseball cap

So...lack of headgear. 

[stillamarine]

Lol. Yeah that.

Baseball cap is the best, under headphones on those days when you are flying into the sun and the visors aren't enough.

Yeah I like the idea of a ball cap with the bag. The blue bdu's have a hat available. Just not wearing a ball cap with G/W.

+1!  I wear the G&W a lot, especially if I have to drive an hour of so to the wing HQ but the lack of headgear is annoying.....and fixable!

I was talking to the NUC chair on Saturday, and I mentioned that with the elimination of the beret and other funny hats with the ABUs, maybe we could use them with corporates.

Fortunately, I was out of reach, and he had nothing handy he could use as a projectile.

I was talking with one of our cadets that just returned from Oshkosh  and the Blue Beret's  and this cadet said that HQ was looking into letting the Blue Beret be allowed to be used with the ABU's and maybe even the Blues.   I know the cadets work very hard at EAA airventure and feel very honored to wear the beret.  So hopefully for them and the senior members that give the time to work with them something could be worked out in time
