Anyone guess what the single most common complaint about the previous test design was?
The damned blue color.
Anyone guess what they put into the new and improved test design?
The damned blue color.
Yes, there is less blue, but it's still there. Show me a blue tree or sand dune, and I'll change my mind. If we were the skydiving force of death and all of our enemies died before we touched the ground, then I'd change my mind. It shows a particularly stupid brand of stubbornness to continue to propose a blue combat uniform, when the extremely vast majority of those who would have to wear that uniform in the field object to the color blue in a field utility uniform.
I'd rather have bright international orange jumpsuits, because that would at least help cut down on friendly fire incidents. No red-blooded American shoots at international orange, but everyone is going to shoot at the USAF combat smurf team.
They need to get rid of the blue. All of it. Sheesh, I feel like I'm talking to some 5 yr old brat. No, put down the doggie doo. No, put it ALL down. Don't put it in your mouth. No, I mean it. Put the doggie doo down on the ground, not in your mouth. Put it down NOW or you'll get a spanking.
Whoever keeps putting the blue in the uniform design needs a fierce spanking, and not the good kind either. With a leather belt. With a leather belt that has metal studs. So they learn that "no g*ddamned blue field uniforms" means exactly that - no freaking blue at all in the uniform. Not even on the little tag that says how to wash it. Not even in the little velcro tabs that hold the pockets closed. Not even anywhere, so quit putting blue in there. Just stop. Now.
Hmmm I should cut-paste this and send it to the AF times. When everyone tells me not to do something, I freaking stop doing it. What's so damned tough about making a field uniform that doesn't have any blue in it? What anti-social managerial genius is so stuck on a damned blue uniform?
