WASHINGTON (10/12/04) -- Based on feedback from the
six-month wear test, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P. Jumper decided to
expand the current test program to include a pixelated tiger-striped pattern in
a new color scheme on the proposed utility uniform.
The expansion does not involve a full test;
instead, there will be a limited production to test pattern and color, said
Senior Master Sgt. Jacqueline Dean, the uniform board superintendent.
”The color scheme is only one of many improvements
we are testing,” Sergeant Dean said.
