anyone else notice lately the staggering variances of dress the Air Wing pers are walking around in? ( I dont want to say airforce, as army guys attached to the air wing are suffering from the same disease)
I have noticed a lot of them wearing
1. OTW shirts with standard arid pants.
2. OTW shirts with flight pants in solid tan
3. OTW shirts and flight pants in arid.
4. one piece light tan flight suits
5. one piece arid pattern flight suits.
and...... today I questioned a guy about a "flight specialist" badge he was wearing... It looked like the load masters wings, but had the two cross revolvers from the MP badge. He said it was for door gunners. Out of curiosity, I asked if if was an official badge and he replied they just made them.. and are "working on" getting it approved for official wear by Ottawa. ( and a badge made for the DEU uniform )
Is there no standard uniform anymore ? Or has it turned into an LCF free for all ? Looks all kind of goofy if you ask me.
We used to see the occasional guy come in from the FOBs wearing an OTW shirt, but I can tell you these new dudes all over KAF are not combat arms pers.
