MY OPINION of the ARMY Pinks and Greens  

The uniform is giving an even greater reason to serve

This uniform is great. So much class. Repect is ready high but imagine how much more respect soldiers will get in public wearing these.

When I was in the Air Force people kept asking me when the bus was leaving.

Army* changes uniform when the wind blows. Marines* wearing the same blues since the 20s.

I wore Army Green during the Viet Nam era. It broke my heart when the Army went to those silly blue suits.

Thank you for your service! I have not served in the military (too young for Viet Nam, too old for Iraq/Afghanistan, so I served in the Peace Corps instead), but I'm extremely proud of my Dad's service in WWII. I think these new uniforms are super sharp. If Dad were alive today, he would give the new uniform a double thumbs up.

Army blues were a throwback to the Civil War era. When used only for state ceremonies or weddings, they looked pretty sharp, but as a regular dress uniform, they were a bit much. The pinks and greens were so named because the trousers and shirt were more of a salmon color (a hint of pink) and the tunic was a deep olive green.

I welcome the garrison cap again, it was about time to correct the error of the black beret that make everybody look as if they were ready to sell girl scout cookies. By the time Elvis served the pink and brown had been replaced by dark green. Prior to the dark green uniforms era, soldiers in the army never wore pink and greens with a belt, they wore only olive green. Officers wore pink and brown and the short jacket as well.

Every 10 years the Green Machine changes Class A's.

I served in the army from 1948 through 1951. I never once saw an enlisted soldier in this uniform. It was for officers only. Class A uniform for enlisted was olive drab (or suntans in the warmer months).

This uniform is like what my uncle wore from 1942 until the Air Force became a separate branch, as well as what my father wore in the early 50s while stationed in Europe. It's sharp, even dashing.

Finally gonna be able to take a classy service pic like they did back in the day

. I really felt the loss when this kind of uniform went away decades ago. Now, I feel like soldiers really look ARMY again.

The ww2 era uniforms looks great. I hope they continue with this throughout the military with the ww2 theme

Something about the deep olive green feels really vivid, nostalgic and iconic while at the same time it feels really solemn, grounded and firm. It just brings to mind the timeless fortitude of a great tree; one of many that make up a vast forest.

First of all, I want to say thank you for your service. Anywho, I didn't know that the US Army had rebooted this Service Uniform until I was reading up on General Milley on Wikipedia. This is a welcome sight to me as I associate the US Army with this uniform as it was the style worn by "The Greatest Generation". Honestly when I think of the US Army THIS is the look I always envision in my head.

Just like that ACFT had me dying!!!!

I like the pinks and greens I can’t wait until the Army puts them out for sale

It's giving off a strong World War 2/Korean War vibe and you totally rock it! Thank you for your service.

Omg 😍😍😍 They should of just kept this uniform in my opinion. Takes you back to band of brothers.

The uniform we had when we won wars . Looks very sharp !

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!

Love the uniform, except for the service cap. One thing is for soldiers to bend the cap for convenience, another is to design it like that. Other than that, I can't wait for it to be available for purchase.

AS an Army veteran I really like the uniform...I was in 1980-1984 and wish we had it then. Just like WWII through the 1950s...love it.

Now that is one beautiful staff sergeant!!!!

I never served so my opinion doesn't count for much, but I think they look fantastic. P.S. Thank you for your service!

I like those uniforms….They look very sharp plus it brings back into memory of the greatest generation of our armed services….From one veteran to you, thank you for your service…..You look very sharp in that uniform….I see no defects…..Keep rocking it SSgt…..

Really proud of you Troop. You crack me up and are such a girl. That's really outstanding because it shows a Soldier can be tough as nails and still herself. My compliments and very well done Troop. Now to answer your question by a Marine from 50 years ago. The slit pocket on the trousers and skirt is a "change pocket" purposefully designed to carry coins, paper money, pocket watches, etc. During World War II coin money was worth a lot so Army, Navy and Marine dress uniforms had them. Also Female Servicemembers wore smaller patches and chevrons to cancel out their rank being down at their elbows which you righfully addressed. The reason your uniform is bunching up in you're a woman and it's not tailored to your individual body. It's supposed to be a smooth all around fit that restricts upper arm movement if it's too tight and looks baggy if it's too loose. The belt is always a big key because you loosen it for full freedom of movement and pull it snug for a smooth look. Your two covers are the old classic standards, barracks (round) and garrison (flat). Barracks is the more formal while garrison is the most practical exactly like you mentioned. You lay the garrison flat in your hand and then tuck the back into your jacket or trouser belt so 1/4 to 1/3 shows over the top. If your uniform fits correctly it will never fall out and you'll feel it if it does. Your barracks cover has what's known as a "saddle" which is where the ends droop. You never want them to just hang because that gives a sloppy appearance that definitely gets noticed. Your barracks cover comes with a round metal band that fits into the visor and gives the top it's shape yes? Simply buy a little larger size metal band and force it into the smaller cover where you bend the sides down. Gives you a class act look of maintaining proper military smartness while looking totally cool at the same time. Naturally you play the game and wear the correct size band for formal ceremonies and such because you're already knowin' you're cool and don't need a saddle cover to prove it. Staff Noncommissioned Officers set the pace, never follow it. The reason I know all this is we Marines kept our World War II style uniforms during Nam while Army changed their's. Pinks and Greens were Officers while Enlisted wore the same matching trousers and jacket. My Uncles and a lot of guy's Dad's showed us Army greens while we were growing up and I remember my Dad's Navy dress blues had the same coin pocket as Army greens. You put a lot of effort into your videos so I'm just adding my small part to help support all you Hard Chargers still standing the watch. Keep doing what you're doing and stand tall Troop. Really proud of you. Hooah - Oorah. Semper Fi

I’m retired army. My dad served in WWII and Korea. He retired in 1964. When he died there was no question about which uniform he would be buried in. The WWII classic uniform. I wish I had gotten to wear the links and greens.

The army paycheck pocket took me out 😂great review!!

U.S. Army Vet here. I think the uniform is awesome. I have always admired the Greatest Generation and have always loved their uniforms. Really wish they had those uniforms when i served. REALLY SHARP UNIFORM!

I went to a regimental ball ceremony and graduated AIT in these. It was a honor, really dig into this authentic world war 2 look.

I like them, you got blessed seeing you got yours for free though. Wonder how much its going to cost me.

Looking good Kyra! I was old school Army (1982-1985) "Dress Greens" were our Class A uniform. I love the Pinks & Greens. The outer belt on the jacket looks like the Marine Corps OD green service dress uniform. Looks great! Is the name tag part of the uniform?? I also prefer the garrison cap as the best looking cover. Keep up the good work!

I served from June 1966 to January 1989. I wore about 20 different uniforms during my services but I liked the Kakes with the Green Over Seas Cap the best. The Pink and Greens look ARMY to me Hooha.

Those look so much better. I disagree about the garrison cap though. The other looks WAY better and you look really fantastic in it.

I'm a little old school and while the pinks and greens are really cool I like my blues with the big brim hat or the service hat (not the beret). I will admit when the pinks and greens become more available I will probably get a set

Love the pinks & greens new uniforms! Way better than what i wore in the 90s!

WWII uniform is the best of all era, hands down! Bring back the garrison caps and trench coats. So looking forward to see our service persons in this new old honor!

It's about time the Army gets some real uniforms. This and the OCPs scream military vs. the old Dress Blues. Kinda makes wanna reenlist to just get a set! lol

I was in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University. The Fightin' Texas Aggie Corps Class Alpha dress uniform from the 1940s forward has been "pinks and greens," which is to say khaki shirt, dark green "blouse" (coat), and pearl gray -- pink -- trousers. It's a good-looking outfit, and I'm glad the Ags brought it forward all this time. Another A&M Corps uniform is a dark green shirt with pearl gray trousers, which in my time was allowed only for juniors and seniors. Thank you for your post, it's a great appraisal.

For YEARS I've wondered what the hell "Pinks and Greens" were. What I just watched was absolutely NOTHING that I imagined... thank God. Thank you Sarge!

It looks damn good on you. I wish they had that uniform when I was in the army👊🏽❤️😎

Inner pocket connects w men's tailored suit pants...theater, subway tickets...likely a throw back to WWII era functionality. Was commonplace need then, and is a constant w custom tailored men's suits. Looks great on you!

Absolutely a great uniform and should have never been taken out. Im glad its back.

FINALLY. Green is back in the Army. Hooah!

I think these were a good upgrade. Coming in as a Cadet I actually like the idea that the Army has its own service uniform. Considering for awhile we didn't, but the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Force had proper service uniforms. They're really good for another reason. Sentimental value. I think its good to see that the country as well as the army is being reminded of the greatest generation and how in uniforms much like these, black and white, woman and man all fought to push back the Axis Powers and restore democracy to the world. Didn't matter back then what you were or where you came from. We're Americans through and through and these new uniforms sum that up perfectly.

Everyone likes the new garrison cap" it's unique". Until they find out the nickname lol.

I’m definitely subbing now, I love your channel! I think the greens are going to be extremely nice to wear, it’ll be a nice day to day uniform. It makes me a lot more excited to serve in a few years lol

Pinks and greens looks f-cking great. Much better than the old one.

Those uniforms are gorgeous. Men and women soldiers look so great in them. Great video!

Elvis wore the dress green uniform. When was issued class A uniforms. We got 2 sets. 1 on was wool the other was lightweight for the warmer weather. We also issued khaki 's.

Thanks for showing me that i will have my unit patch on the upper left side . i really appreciate 😀

I hate the beret! I agree with you on the cap! This we’ll defend

My father wore that uniform during WW2, so it has a place in my heart. I actually think female soldiers look best in trousers, is there a preference between trousers or skirt, and is either one mandatory under certain circumstances?.

Sorry, but Elvis wore the dress green uniform, not the pinks and greens.

The Uniform Looks Awesome! I grew up watching WWII Movies and I fell in love with the Pinks and Greens. Unfortunately for me the Uniform have been change when I joined the US Army in 97.

That is the best Army uniform ever! The blue uniform looks like the Navy would wear.

You have such a pretty smile. Thank you for making that uniform represent.

This uniform is a huge improvement. The "Dress" cover looks too floppy on the sides, and as she mentioned the rank appears to be very low on the sleeves. Other than that it looks great. Hopefully the Army will keep it for a few decades. It may even help with recruiting.

Extremely SHARP! As the services move away from the ridiculous “women’s” uniforms that were not only unattractive and often difficult to wear, but set them apart from the males, making the whole idea of a military which is to conform, hence the reason for wearing uniforms to distinguish one service from another, a stupid reason to then have the genders look entirely different. With the new uniforms, men and women all now look like part of the same team! Looking great to boot!

best uniform Army's had in a long time with adjustments it will be awesome they will know your in the Army wish it had come out sooner would have enjoyed wearing beautiful uniform

Thank you for your service to our great country 🇺🇸

Classic and classy. Nice they are making a comeback.

Good muzzle/ blade edge awareness on those knife hands, big sargn’t! You didn’t flag your battle buddy. Setting a good example. Reminding us that safety is everyone’s responsibility! If the whole army had such dedication, privates all over the world wouldn’t lose hours off their lives to the dreaded safety briefings on Friday. 😂

Staff Sgt, as a former U.S. Navy sailor, thank you for your service and I wish you and your family well. I understand your position on people not knowing branch when they see the uniform. I feel that citizens should know the basic uniforms of the people who protect them. I joined the Navy and people thought I was a milkman in the summer or a part of the Luftwaffe in Winter. We had winter working blues back then (2004). To me, it shows an awareness if people know what branch you are in. Either way, look forward to hearing more from you and let us know how you like the uniform.

Wow those look so much better than the pickle suit that we wore when I was in or the blues we switched to right after I was forced into retirement.

Absolutely love this uniform.

The uniforms are amazing!! Love the Nod to the past. Thank you for your service 🤙

I have a question, Does this uniform is used right now? because I have seen video of the US Army graduation day, from like 1year and people still uses the army blues. When this uniform (Army pinks & Green) would be use entirely? PS: You are rocking that uniform, suits you so good

Love the new "old" uniform. Give it to the actual fighting troops. She is hot though.

It’s the POCKETS on the jacket for me!! Yess, that’s long overdue. Measurements will be much easier now versus the female ASUs / blues!

Can you please make a video showing the side by side comparison between Mens/Female uniform? Thanks!

Omg yes do a giveaway please! Lol. This video was really good Kyra!!! Keep it up 👍🏽

Pockets rock! And the return of the classic garrison cap!

Can't wait for these to come out for purchase, apparently theyre going to be issued at the completion of AIT starting in june

Pinks and Greens were for Officers only during the 1940s/50s prior to the Khakis / TWs. Enlisted wore Matching color green trousers.

Pinks comes from the 1930s uniform pants that got a pick tint after several cleanings giving the term Pinks and Greens for pants and blouse.

Excellent job Ssg. First we got the Batman P.T.'s, then this, victory through fashion, I'm in. Now who volunteers to set mine up? After 23 years of service I have more medals and ribbons than chest. Special Ops Problems.

I love how clean they look

The Pinks and Greens dress uniform of the 40's era soldiers brings us back to a highly romanticized period of time, the big band music of Glenn Miller and others, the movies of Humphrey Bogart and more, the enlisting of young Americans into the military show patriotism and the simplistic nature of the times without computers, cell phones, pay per view or 8000 pages of IRS tax codes. It's great to see these beautiful uniforms come back into fold. In my time we had the nasty Khaki uniforms and the complete greens. The Army needs to stay with one friggin uniform for all and put all that money into something else useful

We’re proud and y’all look DAMN good in uniform regardless ❤️

I think it looks really Sharp! Uniforms It is a throwback of the WWII Army Uniform. AWESOME

Hey Kyra, doing your thing is see 👀👌 long 7years since I seen you in Korea! Keep it up!

Late comment, but. In regards to your rank position, It's that 1st Cav patch, The First Cavalry Unit Patch is the only patch in the Army that is authorized to adjust the position of the Rank Patch according to Army Regulation 670-1 and DA Pam 670-1 , normally the SSI is located 1/2 between the Shoulder and Elbow, but the 1st Cav SSI is so large the Rank is adjusted down. That pocket in the pants is most likely a trow back to when pocket watches were carried, or it might be a coin pocket.

I like the new uniforms, I just got out of the Army and NOW they get released lol, inconvenient timing for me

How does this not have thousands of views !!!

You and the uniform look razor sharp. I really think the Army go it right.

Did I read that correctly?? Army field band? HELL YEAH!

I missed the Green Class A's I love the Class A's. The Pinks make us look like a bus driver. Absolutely love the Dress Blues!

The secret pocket is left over from a time before wrist watches. Normally pockets like that were for pocket watches, and the chain would clip to your pocket

Being a WW2 freak, I think the Army did excellent. The small slit type pocket on the trousers is a watch pocket.

They look awesome. Reminds me so much of Captain America. Badass uniform.

As an Air Force vet, I'm jealous of that new (old) uniform. It's a classic, timeless and should never be changed. Bravo Army, you made the right decision... for once. lol

Its definitely better than the "Pickle uniform." Btw, you make the uniform look good👍

Why did they get rid of the nameplates?

I am sorry to say this but. FINALLY the Army is going back to it's origins and in the style of the greatest generation and I agree I love the Garrison cap.

Yes, ma’am you are looking fly with Professionalism

I served in the Army from 1966 to 1968 with an early out a month before my discharge date. It was the green and kaki uniforms that caused me to join the Army. I did not like the changes in uniform that came after my discharge. However, I do like the new stylish uniform, it looks Army all the way.

Before I make my comment: I am am an old dog. 11B from 85-88. Uniforms are not a fashion statement. I was a grunt and rarely wore dress greens. Bdu'S mostly.
