According to the Army Times, the Army is considering these uniform changes in 2016. No decisions have yet been made:

An updated version of the “Eisenhower jacket”, but in blue.
Eliminating the female drill sergeant hat, with the M1911 style being used by all Dis.
Going to a single blue service cap, or “bus driver cap,” for male and female soldiers.
Requiring senior noncommissioned officers and higher to wear the blue service cap, instead of the beret, while in the Army Service Uniform.
Changes to the fit and material of the white shirt for the Army Service Uniform

Hmmm, yes except it's now gone to a board for 2016. Can't say that I like the looks of it either.

Astounding.

Clearly, some people need to be RIF'ed,

A lot of people actually, very publicly.

Frankly, I think the Army cannot be allowed to make these decisions anymore. Let the Marines decide for them.
