    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    Yeah, same here. Seems like according to the reg you can give the dude a jacket when he gets the AO, but I seriously doubt any squadron does.

    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    Most guys are with you. They don't wear A2s unless they are on flight status. And the AF has a huge portion of the Space Surveillance gig. Google "ISR".

    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    Aircrew are authorized A2s as soon as they have their AO (aeronautical order) regardless if they've finished training or not. For enlisted guys, that AO also gives them their wings. You get your AO and can be taken off flying status for whatever reason, you'll still keep your wings. Space...

    Proper B3 fit

    I think on the HPA website it said if you're gonna order a B3 or B6, go up a size. Sure, it's a 44 on the outside, but it's gonna be a bit less inside due to the fleece.

    Goodwear Cable Raincoat A-2 for sale

    I hate doing it, (just like everyone else says here) but I need to put up for sale my GW A-2 to get some funds for another project. My kids preschool tuition takes a bite out of any discretionary funding I usually have. Anyways, back to the sale. This is a GW A-2 that was made April 2015 in...

    An interesting A-2 from movie Twelve O'Clock High

    Not just cadets. I think everyone in the USAF has seen this at least once during a leadership class. I know I saw it a few years ago in my section during an exercise.

    WW2 US Army EM Shirt -Khakis question

    I think the shirts for the enlisted scum didn't have epaulets, but they were known to have worn officer khaki shirts, tho.

    5.11 Boots, Opinions Please

    Belleville boots. I was issued different pairs when I was still flying (black, green, tan) and all were great straight from the box.

    Fury

    My grandfather's two brothers were infantry in WW2. One in Burma, the other in the ETO. The one in Europe said they fired up civilians if they had weapons. They were only told not to do it when members of the press were around.

    Fury

    I don't know if I'd want to be off by my lonesome, even with a heavy MG, when there were that many SS moving about.

    Avirex AC Delco A2 ?

    Pretty nice work. Maybe you can find a repro tag to sew in the back. That would look nice.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Sloan: As others have said, thanks for the work with the trial narrative. Since I really didn't check TFL that much, a lot of the Aero mess slipped under my radar (except for almost getting boned in the Aero USA problem).
