Subject: US Army No Longer Green
Horsesoldier    6/19/2006 9:32:21 AM
>>This in response to decades old efforts by the troops, to drop the green "Class A" uniform (bus driver like green jackets and pants, with light brown shirt and tie) and go to "dress blues" for all occasions, with appropriate changes in tie, shirt, etc. << While I'm not upset with the whole ditching the Army Class 'A' thing, I do feel some need to comment on the *absolutely* *stunning* level of basic fact checking Strategy Page has, once again, brought to the issue. Point A -- When was the last time bus drivers wore suit coats? 1950? It's like they got someone on Eisenhower's staff to write the critique or something. Wow. Point B -- The Class A uniform includes a light *green* shirt, not a light *brown* one. This is the kind of outrageously obvious little detail that often suggests whoever is writing this stuff has absolutely *zero* idea what is going on.

A brown shirt was worn with the class A uniform unitl about 1979 when the lime green shirt came in. And it became known as the bus drivers uniform not because of the Class A uniform but because of the Class B with the Green shirt......that made people look like they were driving the Uptown Special.
