Default What are the coolest looking US military uniforms?
I always liked the:

USMC - Dress Blues
Navy - Crackerjacks
Army - Green Berets

What uniforms do you think are cool? Did you ever rock them?

I rocked the crackerjacks and think they’re the best. They really stood out in a sea of Marine Corps blues

Those deadhead black Totenkopf SS uniforms inspired terror on anyone who experienced them.

You hit a homer run with all three. When i got drafted i could only go in the Marines or Army. I was at L.A County jail at the time. Being 18 i figure why not the Marines those dress blues were sharp looking. True story. But the Marine recruiter told me i was too smart so i went into the Army.

Marine Corps by far.
Now, the Navy has some snazzy Dress uniforms, quite a few actually.

Its all dress up and costumes until the SHTF.

Kim "KC" (Killer Chick) Campbell - nothing hotter than a gal in flight suit crawling out of the cockpit of her Warthog, battle-damaged beyond repair, bringing it in with NO hydraulics and an engine fire, using emergency manual reversion (cables and pulleys) to maneuver it out of enemy territory and landing like it was a normal mission IMO: (Awarded Distinguished Flying Cross)

Hard to look much cooler that this...(although I'm also very fond of MC Black. Great for urban night ops...)
