Now, if we REALLY want to start a 100 page discussion........lets imagine an option of short sleeve shirts and no tie. Then we could get into a discussion of V neck t-shirts vs crew neck t-shirts. I was actually at a reception once and listened to two 3 Stars give each other $hit about their t-shirts with no tie
All in good fun.........I'll wear my hat till it's optional, which ain't going to happen anytime soon.

What do you military guys call your flight uniforms? Bags? I want a bag. I want to wear white socks and shorts and a t-shirt and still look flight ready.
I prefer long sleeve shirts. Of course years ago poor ACL was nearly stoned from wearing long sleeve shirts. He barely survived. Times have changed.
I have little choice but to wear short sleeve shirts because I can't find a long sleeve that's actually long and sometimes the fabric is just chinsy.
As to our summer time attire? It's a fashion faux pas, let's admit it:
For summer time I say we start wearing something new. Last night I posted a hoodie with my own name on it. Now I want something to show off my guns.
Now that I think about it, my problem with our uniform is they don't make it broad enough at the shoulders, big enough in the arms and the inseam is too short.
