Guest jet man Posted November 11, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2007 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) jet man:superman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Ghost Posted November 11, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venturous Randy Posted November 12, 2007 Share #18 Posted November 12, 2007 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.
