message: The section of the article detailing the ABU features describes the boots and socks as sage green. Directly across from this photo is an image with tan boots. No explaination is given for the apparent contradiction. 96.234.225.31 (talk) 04:30, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

message: So Propper is selling a 100% cotton ABU. Here's a link: https://www.epropper.com/products/138/category/49/NFPA-Compliant%20Men-s%20ABU%20Coat.htm
Does that belong in this article? TravisAF (talk) 02:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hey guys, I dunno if it matters much, but afi 36-2903 updated and we're phasing out BDUs on 1 November. They're still uniform until then.

message: The article refers to the price several times, but never actually says what it is. Does anyone know?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrigidNinja (talk • contribs) 02:40, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Here are the prices at the online exchange; I'm not sure if those prices are subsidized at all by the DoD, as everyone can buy them there but officers are required to pay for their own uniforms--they don't get an allowance like enlisted. Coat, men's ABU $37.05, RABU $36.70; pants, men's ABU $43.47, RABU $44.60; coat, women's $35.91, RABU $36.55; pants, women's ABU $43.17, RABU $44.30. Note the "RABU" are the new ripstop variety which are replacing the old ones.Noderaser (talk) 00:24, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have info on whether the Space Force actually used the ABU? The cited article only mentions standardizing on the OCP and new "Space" Blue tapes and accoutrements. By the time Space Force actually came into being, there had been a lot of OCP adoption in the greater Air Force.Noderaser (talk) 20:23, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: According the Wikipedia entry for the Space Force, it has authorized use of the ABU since 2021. Don't know how much it is or has been used. Venqax (talk) 19:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Space Force Usage? 

message: The article, as of a few minutes ago, opened with “The ABU is… worn by the Civil Air Patrol.” I have since edited this to reflect that the primary role of the uniform was as a utility uniform for the USAF and USSF. The uniform was designed for and fielded by the USAF for over a decade. That is the primary topic of this article. As such, I moved mention of the CAP wearing it to the end of the introduction section (and added a citation). I don’t mind mentioning it, but under no circumstances should this article open with it.
I am merely opening this talk section in case anyone would like to discuss this change.
