I will be in mine, about 2 hours from now, for todays Rememberance Day service.

I am still wearing mine from time to time. It has gone through several changes since I came in originally in 1981. I am now a reservist and a civil servant for the USAFR, but still get to put it on from time to time. I stay pretty physically fit, so for me putting on the uniform is not to bad. When I came in I was 19 and weighed 118lbs, now I am 45 in a few days and a healthier 170lbs. The scary part though is training babies; i have kids that I train younger than my daughter, boy am I getting older or are they just coming in younger and younger. (I was never that young was I)

I wish!!!

I was about 30 lbs. lighter.

And 15 years younger.

[Gray Ghost]

I can still fit mine, and in a couple of weeks I will wear it to a third basic training graduation for one of my sons. Then a couple of months later, I hope to be wearing it at his graduation from OCS.

One big thank-you to all our veterans out there.Thanks for your service to our country...:cool10:

[oldandcrotchety]

No way, Jose! Back when I was in the army (1969-76) I was 30 inches in the waist and now I'm 36 inches in the waist and probably 40 lbs heavier.

[cbmel]

Can I still fit in it? Sure! Muffin-tops are in, right??

I'm pretty sure the boots still fit. Anything other than that...all bets are off!

[eagleeye]

Hipshot,

I want pics!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Can I fit into my navy dress blues? :rotf::rotf:

 

You've got to be kidding. Even my 1975 black leather jacket shrunk on me.

 

The hat is a possiblility.

where is that ignore button ??? :rotfl:

the boss lady is still laughing

[Venturous Randy]

I gained about a pound a month while in the Air Force for four years. I got out and lost about half what I gained. Then I started to college and gained 60 pounds. Since then a few more pounds. Yeah, I can wear my hat, but I do still have my dress blues, just for the heck of it.

[Rattlesnake]

Both my Dress Blues and Dress Greens Still fit but unlike some of the others I know in this family I still weigh about the same as as 25 years ago just gone up 1 inch in the waist

[Rattlesnake]

As a matter of fact I will wear dress Greens again tomorrow (Mon.) For the County wide service and as a member of the Honor Guard Have to wear them on a regular basis.

I thought it was just the Highland Regiments (Queens own Cameron, Black Watch, Sea Forth Highlanders, etc.) that had "dress" uniforms...

You are absolutely correct sir. And my apologies to the Highlanders. They are skirts and not really dresses......
