So is Norty's new legacy that we will not only be wearing blues every week, but now we'll be wearing the USAF band dress uniform? Discuss amongst yourselves...

Yep. Norty, Gen Welsh, and CMSAF were all wearing the band uniform.

Looks like Marine dress blues, except the enlisted ones. Just has the silver outline instead of red.

I hope to god, he didn't choose to wear that. My questions is where are the E-9s flipping sh*t over an unapproved uniform?

I doubt anyone was twisting the arm of the Supreme Air Force Commander to wear it. He wore it of his own free will.
At least he had the decency to dash any hopes of drastically improved leadership early on. Very early on.
Here we go again, leadership via uniform policy.

But...but...but... he gave some great speeches at the academy! He sent a letter out to USAFE fighter pilots! He's really going to turn things around!

Some would argue our current "blues" uniform is decidedly un-militaristic.....I don't give a sh*t what the uniform looks like, just so long as I only have to wear it once in a while....jus sayin.....

It's not that the uniform itself looks bad necessarily; it's that it would seem there are so many more important things to worry about ahead of this. I hear you get your choice of musical instrument issue as part of the package. Joking aside, nothing official has come down that we're switching to this, has it? Maybe they just wanted to change it up for the ceremony - who knows.
I support the CFACC's objectives.

If this is from the swearing in, isn't Schwartz technically still the CSAF? Wouldn't he be the one who decides what the uniform of the day?

I guess it's possible.
Gen Schwartz: "Hey Mark, we're gonna wear the USAF Band uniform for the change of command. That cool with you?"
Gen Welsh: "LOL. Good one."
Gen Schwartz: "...."
Gen Welsh: (YGBFKM)
I'd like to think that's how it went.

I'll preface what I'm about to say by thanking the admins for the removal of the dislike button...
But I think whatever they are wearing is pretty cool and it would be nice to have a dress uniform that attracts women as opposed to them thinking we are wearing poorly fitted 50's bus driver uniforms.
