Money to Burn

When I first heard rumors that the Army was going to do away with the Class A/Green uniform, I was discomfitted. The replacement was to be the Dress Blue uniform (redubbed the Army Service Uniform). More expensive and not as comfortable/functional I thought to myself.

Recently, I forked out a few hundred dollars to get one - along with all the mini-medals, the service hat, etc. 21 years I had gotten by without one...

Now look what happened.



I don't know what this newer version will change - I suspect something a little more affordable, and a little more comfortable functional than the current one. However, as an officer - I buy my own uniforms... I guess the Army thinks I have money to burn [In the last 2 years I have had to buy some DCUs and ACUs, now this].
