I actually loved wearing fatigues, because they were comfortable, but could be tailored and pressed to look sharp (which is, I know, completely contrary to what was supposed to be a uniform designed for manual labor).

In about...1988?...they started phasing out fatigues, replaced with the pajama-like BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform). I hated those baggy things, and camouflage is the last thing I ever wanted to wear.

Most of the time, being that I had an inside office job, I wore some variation of my blues.

And since we're talking uniforms, that last pic, I was in my mess dress, the equivalent of a tuxedo. I still own it. :)

The one piece AF suit clinched at the waist is called a Fatigue?
How come?
How long have those in one colour been in use?
Camouflage is well intended for other branches...

The one-piece you're referring to, you may be thinking of a flight suit, reserved for flight crew (of which I was not):
59596



Fatigues would be a shirt (long or short sleeved) and trousers, which is what we're all wearing in the group photo above (except for our Training Instructor, he's in a variation of blues - which is what I wore most days, minus the Smoky The Bear hat, because those are for TI wear only).

I don't know why they were called fatigues - maybe because they were considered a uniform for physical work/combat, and that'll make you tired in a hurry. :laugh:

Most likely yes😂
Now I get it, cool, thank you!
 
This guy is GREAT! Here is one of his shorter videos. He scams scammers. On this video, he keeps a scammer online long enough to delete all the files on the spammers computer. In one video, he actually gets money from a scammer trying to take HIS money (which he gave to charity).
