I think this photo shows how the uniform is supposed to look in the field (click to enlarge). Whether chicks will dig it or not I can't say!

My husband in his uniform is the sexiest man ever. I could care less if it's the ACU or the BDU. Actually, I prefer the dress blues if given a choice. My favorite military uniform is the Marine dress blues, however I wouldn't want my husband in them! :)

Nah.

"We" know a guy's favorite uniform is undress mess.

(That is, of course, when you're wearing the undress and he's making the mess.)

Do that every day ... one of my co-workers is ex air force.

Heh ... bicycles for PT.

It's all in good fun though, we're the brain dead grunts that charge machine guns.

Never again. I still hold a grudge against the zoomies for not letting us eat in their chow hall at Talil air base in 2003 (among other things), but when I was at FOB Bernstein in 2005 our EOD guys were USAF. They were outstanding at their jobs and were a real asset to our mission.

From that point on I decided that I don't rag on anybody else who is running missions far from home.
