Well, I have finally assembled my oh-so-comfortable maternity uniform. All I can say is that I have NO doubt it is designed by men. First of all, a very non scientific poll of my fellow pregnant soldiers indicates that you need to buy the pants two sizes up. Hello? As if I don't feel fat enough! Second, the are built with absolutely no room in the hips and butt, because really, pregnant women only grow in the belly. Third, there is no such thing as a maternity ACU tee-shirt. Therefor we must buy progressively larger shirts with larger necks . Of course, there is a regulation about where the neck of your tee-shirt must fall. All in all, we can safely say that this uniform was designed and executed by men. Women make up almost 15% of the Army, and this uniform shows exactly what we are thought of.

I thought you weren't allowed to wear make-up with your military uniform......
You look great though, and I must sympathize if you are going to be forced to wear maternity clothes designed by men!!!
I can wear makeup in uniform. It's actually moderately encouraged. The lipstick was a little bright, but I blotted some off after I saw this picture! As you can imagine, no one looks good in that green. Though, I have heard that the color is designed to make Hispanics look good. The Army has a huge Hispanic contingent. Though, really, I think it makes all of us look equally awful. Which is probably the point!
