During my stint, you were never allowed to travel in anything but dress greens or khakis
Same here but I got to say I liked wearing my Beret.

What is the difference between ACU's and BDU's? When I got out BDU's were just starting and were optional. Fatigues were worn by most but were on their way to being phased out.

Active Combat uniform? Basic (butt kickin) duty uniform?? Heck even I don't know - we called them fatigues too cause ya knew without a doubt that you were gonna be real fatigued by the end of the day if ya were told to wear those!! That's my own philosophy on "fatigues"... course they were called fatigues long before my 74 stint!! It's hell to be experienced and stupid ain't it Bubba???....... but ya ain't alone!!!

So, they are just changing the name to keep us vets guessing...ACU = Active Combat Uniform, BDU = Battle Dress Uniform, sounds like the same thing to me, I'm just glad all I had to worry about were my OD (Olive Drab) fatigues.

Who is the guy that sits around thinking up the names for this stuff!

Because of what the men and women do for me and you, I think they look good on ANYONE.

I'll go along with ya there. These kids were all pressed and starched. No matter how badly their clothes fit them, they looked fabulous. If they hadn't been in an area I couldn't get to withut a ticket, I would have shaken their hands.
