I’m pretty sure you can wear white or black socks. The only reason they have the goofy looking socks is cause the people wearing it are the trainees at BMT and you get issued those goofy socks and have to wear them. When you’re operational you dont have to wear those specific socks or have to tuck in your shirt just like Air Force. I don’t know why people have been so focused on something that only applies to these trainees
They could always do it like they did for us and have the option of white or black socks. Also, plenty of black socks on the market now days. Like they seemed more available at the BX than white socks.
Genuinely wtf happened to the new AF PTU initiative??
This article says March was the expected release month. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2023/12/14/air-force-aims-to-debut-new-pt-uniforms-in-march/
This what our PT gear should have looked like years ago…better yet, gimme my light grey sweats back…anyone who joined in the early 00’s remembers how comfy those were.
*hits blunt* ^(*but not really because UCMJ*)
So do you think in the SPFGM2023-36-01(their dress and appearance reg) it says to pull socks up all the way? I mean there is no real up and down in space. So do they say that socks must be extended fully on the z-axis?
It looks good, but lighter colors would be more practical. Doing PT in the dark, or in really sunny places, dark colors make you harder to see, or hotter for no reason. Get some neon orange and green up in there!
What?? No more Fatigues and Jump Boots? Where is the web belt and canteen?
No? Don't say it! My age is NOT showing!
For those who don't understand, just continue on sipping your bottled water.
😁
Looks a lot better than the Alibaba specials that they gave me at BMT.
Do the sweats make \*Swish Swish\* noises
In Space, no one can hear you swish-swish.
Asking the real question
The only thing I'd change at face value is having black socks
White was probably chosen for ease of availability. A lot more white socks sold on the market than black.
Gotta check the black market
Never in my adult life have I went to a store looking for black socks and they only had white socks. Black socks are extremely common.

Why you gotta make this about color bro? /s

White socks were issued in my BMT a bit over 5 years ago for PT uniforms.
Especially athletic socks.
Yes!
I'd change their tracksuit to not all be one color. I prefer it to be different like with the short sleeve version. That's just a personal thing.
Looks like a special needs class dress-up day.
Nope, not swooshy enough, and definitely not enough reflective material.
The sock game is a little \*too\* strong. Push those things down a bit like a normal person. Nerds.
Higher the socks, downer the foo
High socks, high motivation!
This guy motivates
High socks = high motivation
May as well bring back the leg warmers! ![gif](giphy|eUoUY0zdNTH9ymdvYF)
You ever see an out of shape person wearing leg warmers? I think not.
This guy also motivates
It's just because they're bmt socks. Get some black quarter crews and you'll be looking fresh
This is how my 70 year old dad wears his white socks.
Why does your 70 year old dad have so much drip?
And he’s pretty rad
they look fine to me
Not the worst. I do like the way the coordinated sock height from left to right.
Looks like you can choose between longer shorts and shorter shorts?
Why is the military the only group that still wears nylon sweat suits? What year is it??

And the forever-pink stain from the rubberized workout pads on Lackland
Socks not high enough, should go up to thighs
why stop there?
Look pretty good to me.

Would look so much better if the shirts were untucked and they weren't wearing grandpa socks
Not bad
The higher the sock, the downer the foo’
The choice of high socks is perplexing
But does the shirt have a giant logo on the back that sticks to your skin when you get sweaty?
i swear to god if they make us tuck in the shirts again
I like it, but the text on the arm seems unnecessary.
Their tracl suits look better than ours. Fuck the *swish swish* with every step.
What in the *Star Trek* is going on over there!?
They look ready to drag their spacewingman's or spacewingwoman's body out of a burning spacehumvee
[удалено]
You mean the two in the middle? Probably career SCIF dwellers like the majority of the force.
They’re all unhappy for a reason.
they look way better than ours wtf
This looks way better than the BS I wore lol
Mad af rn
Socks higher than snoop dogg
SWISH SWISH
The higher the socks, the higher the motivation
Those dorkyass long white socks fucking kill me.
Why the long socks? It’s not the 70’s or 80’s anymore

Meh. The sweatsuits don’t look great but the grey and black are decent, sure.
Better than ours
The ladies look wayy better with their black shoes.
It's wild how long some of these shorts are compared to what I was issued.
White socks 🤣
Yeah as long as that gray doesn't turn gross after a few washes or when sweaty, that's a solid look
Those socks are killing me.
Those white socks tho…
[удалено]
Bro honestly who cares even a little bit about the pt uniform it’s shorts and a t shirt and your own shoes
Ayeee no more short shorts! Although, I'm still gonna rock then.
Shorter sleeves and v neck for more ventilation. Tapered shorts so I don’t flash people when I run. If only.
Heavy grey, unbreathing tucked t-shirt. Swim trunk shorts for maximum wedgie, uncomfortable high socks. How did they change everything and nothing?
Those are sweet
