The Byrds were on a space kick back then.

If their security force's uniforms aren't white with black accents/trim, they're doing it wrong.

Just use what they had on Star Trek, everything else seems to have followed what they did back then, just know if you are issued red shirts your career might be shorter than normal.

Yeah, they are more like the Coast Guard people who don't go on the water. Bouy minders and such.

It's not any stupider than the blue-on-blue-on-blue camo the Navy used for a while.

Yeah that was an epic fail, but some retired 4-star likely made some bank on it.

Funny how everyone thinks the Space Force actually deploys to space In the future perhaps but, first gotta develop a manned functional vehicle first. Meanwhile, business as usual at Vandenberg AFB, launching satellites, maintaining the GPS constellation and a bunch of other important things.

US Space Force is to the USAF, as the USMC is to the USN. USSF reports to the Sec of AF. Makes sense to utilize the existing OCP work uniform, no need to muddle up things with 'service unique' uniforms.

Missilemen in USAF wore white fatigues on the job.

If the Space Force needs a special uniform, I recommend solid midnight blue with little white stars scattered around.

So basically, the US Coast Guard uniform with white paint flecks....ohhhh, that is the CG uniform.

It’s already in the National Stock System....

There'd better be a "Master Chief" rank in Space Force, that's all I'm sayin'.....

Wouldn't all black with tiny white dots be best for a Space Force Camouflage Uniform? Or maybe a print of a keyboard and screen on the back and a chair on the front with a cup of coffee?

In space, no one can see you blend...

I'm pretty sure that if in Space, the uniform of the day will be a Space Suit.
