The mandatory acquisition date for the Army's latest dress uniform was after I retired, so I refused to buy a set.
I think the uniform looks really good, I just don't think it was necessary. The blues got the job done. Plus it was one fewer uniform that we needed to buy and maintain.
Also, I DEEPLY resented all of the Army's uniform changes, not because they occurred, but because of the timing. In the course of my career we went from BDU and DCU to ACU (garbage) to OCP, which is basically BDU after you've worn it in the field for six months. We could have just sewn pockets and velcro on BDUs and been done with it. We went from greens + blues to just blues. Great, one less uniform. But then we added the browns (unnecessary) and kept the blues.
AND WE DID ALL OF THIS WHILE WE WERE FIGHTING LIKE FOUR WARS, AND LOSING AT LEAST TWO OF THEM.
WTF.
