You forgot Garrison, Gunner, or was that just for Infantry?
You want confusing? Try being a 600 series MOC Engineer when your element is Air Force. Combats or Bush in the field, Work Dress (cotton pants, long sleeved postman blue shirt...now gone), Service Dress (wool pants, short sleeved shirt, undress ribbons) or Environmental (FOD coveralls) while on an air base, Tropical Tans overseas, and DEU's or mess kit for the Dog and Pony shows and Messes. Also, try to explain to an angry R.S.M. why you're wearing blue goretex on HIS Army base or explain to a pissed off C.P.O. why you're tracking mud into a Navy mess hall!
However, never in my career did I ever call any of it "fatigues."
CHIMO!
