^ not starting a flame war here, we are all on the same side. But, when I went to Ft. bragg many yrs ago to train w/ the army I saw a group of green baret guys at the bowling alley and 1/2 of them were WAY overweight, and looked like a soup sandwich in uniform. BDU's all wrinkled up, boots looked like they were shined w/ a dog turd and they had more fat rolls than biggy smalls. I am NOT impressed by the green barets I saw, they must just be giving that **** away now, because WAYYYY back in the day they used to be badass, not anymore.

Which dress uniform out of all the branches looks the sharpest/best to you?
I am in the Air Force, and am all about the USAF, but I can honestly say, that I think almost all the other service dress uniforms look better than todays Air Force Blues. Granted I know there are new changes coming for them soon, but right now I think they look the worst.
Personally, its a toss up for me between the Marines dress uniform, and the Army's. Both look very sharp and impressive.
What do you think?
Here's some pics, for those that need a reference;
Current Air Force Dress uniform;
Here's two different Navy dress uniforms;
Marine dress uniform;
Army dress uniform;
Coast Guard dress uniform;

I think the AF blues need a white or (non shiny) silver stripe down the pants and a different hat, that might make em a little better.
Funny story though, I was voluntold to go have lunch with a command chief, it was about 30 of us, and he asked if we had any questions. An A1C stands up and says "sir, whenever i wear my blues people always think im a bus driver, are we ever gonna change them to be a little fancier, maybe a little more military-like". The command chief stands up, got completely serious and says "son, if people think your a bus driver then stop acting like a bus driver, you can dress a monkey up to look like a soilder and hes still gonna look like a monkey no matter what uniform he wears, if you act like a soilder then you are a soilder no matter what your uniform looks like"
To tell you the truth, hes right. Ive seen an Airman walking around in his blues with a sense of pride before and ive thought "thats a sharp looking airman" and ive seen a marine walking around in his uniform all slumped over looking like he just walked out of a bar and he looked like ****, uniform was up to standards though. The man makes the uniform, the uniform doesnt make the man.
I think that about sums it up

One thing I did forget to add....I do think the AF pararescue in their dress blues look pretty cool with the beret and bloused trousers over the boots. IMHO.

US Navy.
The Navy enlisted dress blues (cracker jacks) always got more attention from females than Marine dress blues ever did every time we went out with them. I was stationed on board the USS Iwo-Jima which is an Amphib assault ship, so every time we went out, Marines came along with us.
From fleet week in NY to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Sailors always came back to the boat drunk and missing their "dixie cups" (the white ice cream man hats) because girls always wanted them.
