Air Force needs a “military” uniform
When General McPeak came out with the new Class A uniform many years ago it was immediately dubbed the “Delta Pilot” uniform because that is what it looked like. The rank on the sleeve (like the Navy uses and like Delta pilots use) did not last long and neither did the lack of insignia on the shoulder. But the lack of a pocket on the right side stayed and the worst feature of all, the three-button coat, remained. It may be comfortable (allegedly designed for general officers in the pentagon) but it does not look “military” and should be scrapped. It’s OK to keep the polyester (but not great) for easy maintenance but Air Force should definitely go back to the four-button coat and right side pocket.
