Being a Brit, I've got to say the US WW2 service dress uniform was the smartest looking uniform the US army ever had. Good to see it returning.
Hopefully I’ll be getting it soon, I’m going to basic training in 2 days
@@Dedl1v3z well how did it go?
@@_tyyler_5213Dropped out.
Dang it .I wish they would've had them when I was on active duty. The uniform is super sharp looking with that WW2 look.
Just buy a set.
You served your Country.
You earned the right to wear them
I agree
Just get them anyway. 😅😆
I received a set of the OD when I joined the Army in 1959 with the Ice jacket.
@@earlrogersjr3026 so same as the holy grail guitar the Gibson les Paul you lucky son of a gun
As a former Marine I really like them the style is timeless and classy and looks real sharp
Looks like the USMC alphas
I'm a Marine....Always hated the Army's service uniform....But this Service uniform is by far the most handsome uniform they introduced or should it be said re-introduced back in service, why were they ever done away with is beyond me. Congrats Army, someone truly is making a difference for you folks.
I agree like the Marine dress blues have been around forever but why the Army do away with this uniform. Personally love the timeless look.
Too many higher ups trying to out do the Air Force during and after Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Thankfully the Army has final come around and reclaimed it's heritage.
The Navy's Dress uniform has been eather White or Dark blue as long as I remember
Rah, they need to keep it how it is now.
The one time a Marine makes sense still a horses ass but you cant fix dumb angry smart mouthed and Stupid US 75 Regiment Rangers think you mariney weenies are well you know what you are just stay with your guys in your unit and ill stay in mine.
As a WW2 living historian I can tell you it's a great uniform. It's versatile and can be mixed. The Pinks&Greens had a chocolate shirt and a tan shirt. There were a tan or green tie. Their was the regular jacket and the so-called "Ike jacket" and the B-13 jacket that was similar to the "Ike". All the different combinations were wonderful, it was uniform with a touch of flair. We wear both good reproductions and original uniforms including original shoes.
During WWII officers wore dark jacket and tan pants, enlisted men wore dark jacket and dark pants. As my dad said, you could easily recognize who to salute, and/or avoid.
"Tailored?" When I was in the Army it was "Here's your uniform. Close enough."
You kids were spoiled. When I was in the army we didn’t even get uniforms. They just gave you a pointy stick to kill a Buffalo so you could use the hide to make a loincloth!
Omg boomers we get it. The Cold War was rough.
Lol...yep
@@charlieyankee1046 The Cold War included such fun antics as the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War, Private Rump Ranger. Yeah, it was a hoot. 🖕
They had sizes
damn looking sharp, might even give the marines some competition
Might? They gonna have a run for their money!
I agree.
Nope, but they are sharp
I'm a little bias, I was a Captain in the USMC
@@butchp568 Agreed with the skipper. They are a nice throwback. Here's hoping they can keep the things on for more than five years. S/F
As a former soldier, I like them. Hopefully the ARMY will stick with them for a while. It seems the ARMY has always been trying to find something new rather than creating an identity. It’s fine to upgrade utility uniforms and equipment but the Class A uniform is what identifies your service.
Stick with the excellent Uniform no Berets Eithier
I am a traditionalist and love these uniforms. The Marine Corps has never changed their style because of tradition. I wish I could re enlist.
the happiest day of my life is when i turned in all my equipment and sh!t and got released from that 5 year prison enlistment, FTA
I like it, it's about time the Army adopts the pressed and dressed, sharp uniforms like the troops from the Marine Corps. 🇺🇸
They definitely look cool and sharp, and give that nod to history which is priceless. It's a sweet uniform, no lie. I can already hear the Glenn Miller playing.
I’m retired and even I’m gonna get this new uniform.
I'm retired too and am seriously considering getting one for myself as well.....
Retired as well and will also.
for getting planted in a wooden box
I don’t usually like skirts, but I would proudly wear them with this uniform. Hoping to be hitting basic within a few months
DO what you are told, stay away form the whiners, complainers. Do your best and it will soon be all over!
Thank god. I'll take one for each day of the week! This is the kind of professional garrison uniform the Army needs. We should all switch over and never change it again.
Except mechs and wearhouse workers they should just give us solid green like ww2 hshs
My father served in WWII and never wore "pinks & greens." Those were for the officers. He was an enlisted man and wore OD, plus khaki in the summer time.
Love these uniforms! Nice throw back to tradition
I remember when our Dad wore the pink and green in the fifties and said it was expensive back then. He had to pay out of pocket as an officer. They did look really nice though!
Finally, this was a great uniform and it is good to see it again! The material is better and it is great to see the Army went first class on this. It is well worth the cost. We made much less in the 70's and you had to get several different types of uniforms and it was even worse for female soldiers. We wound up spending much more in real terms when you considered our pay. Many of us got some of our uniforms from the Thrift Shop so that we would not have to dig so far into our pockets and the clothing allowance never covered all the expenses. The Army Uniform that followed the Pink and Greens was bad and that is what I had when I first came in. My relatives who served in World War II (my uncles and step father) looked so much sharper than we did in the 70's. The the changes after that until now went from bad to worse. "The Blues" belong back in a formal setting and that change back to tradition is really welcome news. As a retiree, I am so happy to see our young soldiers and officers back in a uniform that makes them look sharp. It really improves Our Army's appearance to me. What a fantastic improvement. Army Strong!
It's a beautiful uniform. I'm glad the Army figured uniforms out.
Great Camo: OCP
Great Service U's: Greens
Love the 40s classic GI look.......top class
I always loved these uniforms since I come from a family of WW11 veterans.I wish they had them as standard issue when I was in the Army back in the mid 80's.
What year does WW11 happen? Must be futuristic
these are some fine looking timeless uniforms
Yes way to go..I believe we need to remember that we are UNITED . One Nation..one race and we should be ONE FAMILY 💯 GO GREEN...LETS HELP THEM REMEMBER..THAT WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ❤️🙏🏾💜💯 THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE💯🙏🏾
The uniform looks a lot better than the current uniform.
These uniforms belong in a museum. Surely we can come up with army attire that reflects modernity!
That is so sharp!!! I was the Green Class A’s, and wore the Blues in the Old Guard for ceremonies.
This blows the doors off the dress blues
It just makes so much more since and looks dapper
That is awesome. Huge respect. I’m sure the old vets which we owe so much will appreciate this.
I remember wearing service uniforms such as that in the in the air force when I first joined i.e. they were blue. The day we were allowed to wear BDUs for daily duty, the maintenance cost to the service members was reduced. Good luck and say hi to Glenn Miller.
As a 25 year US Army NCO retiree, I an happy to see the US Army return to it's "Military" roots with the Pinks & Greens. It represents a proper Service Uniform. Not the wanna be business suits I wore after 1979, which never looked right. The only exception are my Dress Blues, which are back to being a Special dress uniform as it was intended to be. The Army got off course in years past following the Air Forces idea of a uniform, but should have stayed with the Traditional uniform as the Navy and Marine Corp had. I am glad to see a return to what was best and traditional.
Beautiful and also an honor for those who served in the past🇺🇸❤️
In 1978 until 1982 We had 1, Class A (Which were all green with kaki shirts and black tie) and 2 of a more casual Class c which were a short sleeve kaki with open collar.) as for our BCU's at the time we had 3 tuck in shirts, solid OD Green (Only special units like LRRP's, Air Bourne and Special Forces had the good untuck "Jungle Type uniforms, in camo patterns, as did the Marines.) And get this. Uncle Sugar paid for it all! Everything changed right after I left the service. Goodbye Steel Pot. Good bye old M-16. and 1911. Oh1 and yeah. The base Ball Hat.
THESE ARE CLASSIC!!!
Love them!!!
They remind me of my USMC Service Alphas!!!!
THUMBS way up!!!!
World War 2 Retro Style That Fucking Awesome
Those look good. Far better than the last two.
This was the Best Green Service Uniform the US Army has ever had returns. very nice.
Thank You!
About time! Wish they had this sharp uniform when I was in.
Good Choice. Greatest Generation is honored.
Oh why oh why didn't they have them when I was on active duty in the mid 80's. So classy looking, and with that belt.....awesome!!
I went into the Army in 1955 and we had the Ike Jacket with matching trousers and brown boots and low quarters. Never did like the new greens and fortunately did not have to buy a new uniform. We were called the "The Brown Boot Army" and very proud.
By the time these uniforms go into effect I’ll be an officer hopefully a captain or major. It’s always great to pay respect to the past and to those who was apart of those times . 🤟🏾🤟🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the sharpest uniform they’ve worn the last 70 years. Excellent job Army in bringing it back
I cannot wait to put these on
I love the belt. I wish we had them when I was in.
I think they should have never changed this uniform- It looks awesome, taking it back to the OG way- 🤙🏼💯🤙🏼
Fun fact that was 3rd Platoons DS where I went to basic. (Delta 1-19 Infantry) she was the junior Mambas DS I was 1st platoon (Spartans) back in September. She isn’t exactly the nicest person but she was funny
Looks incredible!
dope to see this coming back
The Air Force should adopt the Army Service Blues since they would look better with it than the Army themselves. I've seen people in the Army get confused with being an Airline Pilot haha.
Nothing beats the classic
That's a damn sharp uniform. A classic!
It looks a heck of a lot better than the dress greens I was issued back in 1969.
Can’t wait for my ship date and can’t wait for this new dress uniform
I’m digging the new look!
Much better looking than the blues. Professional and clean.
They look so dope. Beautiful design.
I'm going to Fort Benning for BCT and AIT on November 17th, I really hope I'm able to get this uniform by the time I graduate! So pumped!
Get yer Jump Wings Airborne All the Way Then get Spit Shine Jump Boots 1508 1504 82nd Airborne
Love the new looks, makes me think about reenlisting.
Not gonna lie that uniform looks good the glory days of the greatest generation. Finally a uniform that looks better than the Marines.
I'm glad they are actually doing this! Bringing back that traditional and heritage and history is exactly what the Army needs.
one of the most beautiful uniform of the world
Sure. Marines on the other hand never changed our Service Greens.
Happy to know that I only got 6 weeks left of osut training at fort Benning and I’m getting the pinks and greens tomorrow so I’m excited to get them
Outstanding!
They look so slick and professional. I'm glad we're going back to the Pinks and Greens
They look great!! Never should have left this style.
Dad served in the Army in Vietnam. I've always loved the Army green even as an ROTC cadet. Ultimately I ended up enlisting in the Navy, just in time for the switch back to the iconic crackerjack uniform. Can't say I liked wearing that but there was no mistaking a Navy man for the Good Humor ice cream man afterwards. It is nice to see the Army take a look back to it's better days. Such a great looking uniform.
I Like it! Really nice sleek look. Perfect tribute too the ww2 uniforms and earlier army uniforms.
Interestingly, the WW II officers shown at 0:34 were Lt. Gen. Carl Spaatz, Lt. Gen Jimmy Doolittle, Maj. Gen William Kepner and Col. Donald Blakeslee of the 8th Air Force, US Army Air Forces. They would all go on the help form the USAF after WW II. They all finished their careers in blue.
I can not wait!🙌🏾
They look like marine uniforms but a different color
Which is a good thing, since marine uniforms are clean af
That's because the Marine "alphas" were based off the Army pre-WW2 service uniforms.
The army’s making some solid uniform choices finally.
What a better honor to the history of this amazing country
Very sharp!
Awesome,the patches will be sewn on again
They look great, very similar to the USMC service A/B/C uniform which we never stopped wearing. Glad the Army came back around. Actually with the brown shoes and khaki trousers, I like them more than my old USMC service dress.
THANK GOD THE UNIFORMS WE HAD LOOKED HORRIBLE THANK YOU FOR GIVING US BACK OUR GOOD LOOKING GREEN UNIFORM THE WAY A SOLDIER SHOULD AND NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE AND NO MORE BERETS WHERE NOT FRANCE NOR ARE WE THE BRITS WHERE AMERICAN SOLDIERS GIVE US THE UNIFORM WE DESERVE THIS ONE
My late father would be so pleased...
Amazing!!!
The current ASU is more historical. Reminds me of the civil war uniform.
I may be Canadian, but I am liking this change. I kind of want my country to go back to Pattern 49 Battledress, Navy jumpers and bell-bottom trousers, and Air Force service dress. Looks sharp, distinct, warm, and was practical, and I still think it could be today. We shall see. Tradition pulls out history and pride in troops, and that regimental pride is one of the most essential bits to effective teamwork.
I love the WW2 uniforms! I'm looking forward to wearing it after I graduate bootcamp. 💪🏾
Those are sweet. Looks like my great-grandpas uniform that served in WW2.
its the same uniform lol
Wow great look!!!
These look great!!!
These Class As are outstanding...a far sight better than the old green Class As we used to wear.
very smart ,looks great .
It looks amazing !!!!!!
The Best uniform ever the US Army is back in Style.
Can’t wait till mine arrive
They do actually do look smart and easier to look after.
The Vietnam Era US Army Khaki uniform was sharp.
I think they look so good
new uniforms are the best Army is the best, god bless all you
Just graduated from basic and AIT (OSUT) and was the last cycle here to get the old one! SMH.
Way better than the green pickle uniform from the 80's and 90's
There were 2 types of uniforms in WWII, this is what the officers worn, enlisted had a dark brown jacket with lighter brown trousers.
Bring back the short jacket like Gen. Eisenhower used to wear.
