US Space Force Uniform
2023-12-20
[Air & Space Force Magazine] More than 100 Guardians across the globe have started wearing the Space Force’s prototype service dress uniform three times per week as part of "wear testing"—the final stage before the uniform is produced and rolled out to Guardians everywhere in 2025.

More than 106 service members are included in the wear test, stationed at a wide variety of installations to determine the uniform’s durability, functionality, and comfort in a range of climates and conditions. Locations include:

#16  What's with all the 'testing'?

Need to be able to clean them of body fluids and recycle. Prob also some obscure 'cosmic radiation retardant' that is toxic to breathe in closed environments. Also, in cleaning the pants crotch shrinks, so no big balls allowed.

The EPA and Planned Parenthood is all over it.

#12  They look like Midwestern police officers. Not the worst uniform to be honest.

#11  I think any New York City transit cop would be proud to wear that uniform.

What's with all the 'testing'? These are clothes, right? I mean, it's not the first time we made uniforms.

#6  Will the flag officers be generals or admirals? Will they have galaxies instead of stars to distinguish rank?

#5  Most importantly, what color will the berets be?

#4  ....Given what they could have done, it's not bad. The USAF has tried to bring back this approximate style (nicknamed the 'Billy Mitchell') for a while, and the troops liked it. If the buttons weren't at such an angle, it would be a lot better.

#3  Our Guardians openly slabbered
At Buck in their dashing new tabard
With slash of bright buttons!
Their boots were sweet nuttins;
Their buttonhook shone in its scabbard!
