USUHS Uniforms - AF

Any current or recent USUHS grads,

Just kinda wondering, what are the uniform policies for AF students at USUHS? I did a search here and saw people were saying "class Bs" MTW, BDUs ThF. So do you still wear blues three days and BDUs two? Do your uniforms start to stink of formaldehyde? Is there a badge that med students wear or do you not have to worry about that until graduation? They don't enforce wear of ribbons, do they?

I'm a bit spoiled by the fact that while I own a couple sets of blues and even a mess dress uniform, I generally don't have to worry about anything other than my bags.

Thanks for any info.

They still wear blues minus the coat (Army calls this class B, I don't know what AF calls it) on MTW, and BDU's ThF.
Don't have to wear ribbons unless you're Navy.
I don't know about the badge stuff for the AF. I'm Army.
Yes, the uniforms will smell like formaldehyde if you wear or bring them into the lab, but the smell fades after a few days. Just about everyone changes into scrubs, though.

We tend to call them "blues", although in my career field we refer to them rarely So it's long sleeve blues, short sleeve blues, or service dress if you're wearing the jacket.

So you can wear scrubs to anatomy, that's cool! Is there a locker room nearby?

Are there regular uniform inspections? 😱

There is a locker room kinda nearby (down a hall), but it is way too small for 100 guys. I change in the bathroom.
Uniform inspections occur at the beginning of the semester, basically just to make sure you have what you need. Then we're left alone. I haven't had to go to a formation since the first couple weeks of classes.
