<p>While I was on my visit, I heard some of the cadets talking about how they are getting new uniforms. I believe they said the camoflauge would be turned to blue and white instead of the basic green, brown, and black. Is this true and if so does anyone know where I could see the new uniforms?</p>
<p>The AF is phasing in ABUs, which will be worn at the Academy for the first time by the Class of 2012. They're not really blue and white... they just look more like ACUs.</p>

<p>If I am going in as prior service and already have the ABU boots, am I authorized to wear them? They are in the marauder style, would that draw too much attention during basic and forth year?</p>
<p>Do the Prep Schoolers wear these new ABU's?</p>
<p>You will not be allowed to wear the marauder styles. They wil be belleville 650s or the wellcos they have here.</p>
<p>Hm, I wonder why that is. It's not like they are easier to shine!</p>
<p>Its probably because they want the 2012ers to be standardized with the boots. And no, preppies currently wear BDUs. I do not know about the future Prep School classes, though.</p>
<p>Standardized is the word here! Also, the black marauders (like I currently wear) have been a symbol of upper class cadets which is probably the mentality that will fall with the ABU boots as well.</p>
