Why aren't Class B's or A's used anymore? According AR 670-1, a "Service uniform (is) (w)orn in garrison environments when the wear of utility or dress uniforms is not required or appropriate." I read that as they're not intended for formal use (ie the way they're used now), hence the dress uniform. Then the very name of the BDU implies it distinctly is NOT for garrison use.
What's wrong with using a different uniform for a different area? I mean, everyone owns at least Class B's and Class A's, they might as well use them. The only uniform that anyone can be expected to not automatically have would be the Dress (which all officers own) and Mess. Even then, enlisted have the option of Green Dress. My proposal: Field = jungles. Summer, in garrison = Class B's. Winter, in garrison = Class A's. Other = Dress or Mess uniform, as appropriate.
