Come on SandRat, you didn’t wear the same uniform for 20 years because neither did I. I wore the old fatigues for about ten years and BDUs for another ten years, except for when I was in the Pentagon when I wore Kahkis every day during the summer and the green dress uniform during the winter. And of course there was OG wool and field pant for those winter vacation trips to the artillery gunnery ranges, and Bavarian training areas. ;-)
OK,...I wore the old “Pickle Suit” fatigues for about ten years and rhen the “Salad Suit” BDUs for another ten years, and of course there was OG wool and field pant for those winter vacation trips to the ranges.
I had to buy BDUs as I was getting out because of some deadline, but I only wore them to a formation to prove I had them. They were MUCH warmer than fatigues, especially at Fort Polk. I also liked Khakis, especially when it was my Korean houseman taking care of them and not me.
