LOL!
A STOMPer alerted us to this blog entry, where a blogger
wrote about a wife who wants to petition against the new SAF
uniform... because her hubby won't look sexy anymore.
Wrote the blogger, who didn't name the female party:
"The wife of a regular officer wants to petition against the change
in army uniform because she don’t find it sexy.
Dear all, I’m an army wife and my husband is a SAF regular army
officer.
One of the many primary reasons I married my husband is because of
his dashing uniform. We were fixed up by someone we knew mutually
and had many email conversations over a month before we met. He
sent me a picture of him in his no.4 uniform and immediately, I
fell in love with the way he looks in it (i didn’t say i fell for
him immediately). I felt myself swooning.
When we began dating, he invited me once to a parade in his camp
and when I saw him in person in his no.4 uniform, I was sure and
told myself I will make this man my husband. The whole get-up made
my knees weak. On our wedding, he wore his no.1.
Anyway, I was horrified to find out that SAF was going to change
the no. 4 uniform. What was worse is that the new uniform is
unspeakably ugly. It looks like pyjamas and the camo print is
hideous. The colours are gross too, with a lot of brown, very
weird, looks like crap. The colors of the current one are perfect
and manly. And the camo print of this current one is perfect too.
The cut, lapels, badges, collar, cutting are perfect.
I don’t understand why they would change such a nice and flattering
uniform. The current SAF army no.4 is the nicest and smartest and
manliest army combat uniform throughout all the armies in the
world.
I would like to ask if wives are asked for their opinions before
this change was decided? Who decided this? As wives of our regular
soldiers, we are in close contact with the uniforms as much as the
soldiers are. And it is also a large part of our lives.
I fell for my husband because of the dashing and manly no.4
uniform. Many many other army wives believe that uniform is
extremely flattering and sexy.
Can we seek some explanation or redress in some way? :(
