Air Force of the Recent Past

Staff Sergeant, US Air Force Security Police Guard, in the 2000s to 2020s, maybe, Gray/Digital Tiger Stripes:

This is a mandatory uniform that has to be shown, the Air Force has or had this Digital Tiger Stripe pattern, in various grays I kept seeing going threw the Air Ports for the longest time, I don’t know if this has been phased out for, its a very interesting idea, I’m not sure how many of our enemies have digital or infrared sighted weapons but is certainly is cool looking. Nore for that matter, why airmen who by nature would be working on an AIR-BASE would need camouflage at any rate, it gets down to money. Getting the budget, I suppose in reality, bear with me, I know nothing about Air Force Uniforms, nor the regulations for all of these, just trying to represent the Air Force Uniforms through history, and the people who used them.

The real person’s name on any of them. I should have a cap for this fellow, or I’ll grab one and put it on here at some point, the trouser would have matched as well, He would have had a web belt, I think, green or maybe white, with a baton on it, and a sidearm, with extra magazines, and likely a dressing pouch, and hand-cuffs pouch on it, with I think tan or black boots. I should think he would have had a helmet, too. I can’t imagine a Kevlar one, left gray as they came, or painted up, as the Air Force has a history of doing, like silver, blue, white, or all the above. I don’t know, but if something pops up, I’ll grab it, possibly?

Senior Master Sergeant, Desert Camouflaged, USCENTAF:

This is another of these must-have uniforms. I think they are cool and interesting. This represents those airmen who have deployed to the Middle East areas of operation.

Technical Sergeant, Desert, 57th Military Airlift/Air Force Combat Command:

Ditto. But with the “Star Lifter Aircraft”, I’m thinking this would be one of the fellas calling the shots with the cargo-how it comes in and how it goes out, and important job, as all the positions in the aircraft are, the most a tremendous amount of cargo, and supplies, (sometimes emergency supplies), and vehicles and personnel, and food to weapons all can be stored and secured in the cargo-hold.
