IF ONLY that continued to be true. Have you seen the new service dress? It's an embarrassment.. It wants to be distinctive, and ends up looking clownish.
Now, the raw utility uniform without accoutrements are borrowed, sure the crap that's put on them changes. I kid you not, uniform standards for BDU's changed THREE TIMES within 4 years. It could be said the AF had no uniform for BDU's at all since there was no uniformity!
Overall though, The AF is confused. It has an identity crises, and no sense of tradition that I was ever able to discern.
edit: I should cavet that by saying, "at least when i was in."
edit 2: There is one thing distinct about AF utility uniforms... bdu's or whatever it is they call them now. I believe their the only branch that continues to wear their rank on the sleeve. As an E4, i figured out pretty quick that when i rolled up my sleeves just right, i could make myself look like a staff sargeant. lol.
