Front page story in this morning's WSJ. Army will now allow troops to wear black socks with gym outfits. Lotta talk about why. They didn't say how white gym socks look nerdy with nearly everything. Then the story mentioned that the Army has a 57 page uniform regulation and a 287 page uniform guide. Good lord. How many field grade officers does it take to create 287 pages on what to wear? Or was it GS12's? That's a lotta paperwork. Maybe we could do some cost cutting here?
I spent six years on active duty in USAF and I cannot ever remember seeing, let alone reading, a uniform regulation. I was able to look sharp and look regulation in front of my troops without a 287 page uniform guide.
