Lord, yes. 1. All military (except Marines. I hate the Marine uniform) 2. Police, Firefighters, EMT’s etc. 3. UPS 🙂 Now, a question. When I spent 4 years in ROTC, I noticed that no matter how unfit the male students were, they still looked hot in their uniforms (unless they needed a haircut or shave). On the flip side, no matter how fit and neat the female students were, the uniform looked awful. Why is that? ---

I love BDUs, but **Queen Tonya** hit the nail on the head with the workin’ man’s uniform oh my! My latest boyfriend wore BDU pants, boots, and his hat (he is retired Army) to work every day, and it took two weeks of ogling him before I realized that he was really doing it for me. I prefer the BDUs over the dress uniforms, but then, men in suits don’t really get my motor running either. ---

I spent 11 years on active duty, and I’ve worked for the Dept of the Navy since 1985 so military uniforms don’t do much for me. Come to think of it, uniforms in general don’t impress me. But a genuine, friendly smile - oh baby!! ---

> [@betenoir](#): > > And those boots are kind of sexy. Any man who can run five miles or more in those things is gauranteed to be ‘a good time’. I would think. Not saying I’d know. It’s the same thing as English football (soccer in the US) players. They run around for 90 minutes straight each game and have the best asses on earth. You can’t go wrong. Even if he’s ugly, who’s going to have time to remove their tongue from a thigh long enough to care? Seriously? ---

Surrounded by men in white coats and scrubs every day. Thought I was immune until my husband dressed up in some for a fancy dress. My husband (who works in IT) looks incredible in scrubs. Military style uniforms don’t do it for me, but give me a man in rugby kit, fresh off the field, all sweaty and muddy and hot…OK. I like rugby players. Also, show me a man who doesn’t look fabulous in a dinner jacket (tuxedo). Brings on all sorts of James Bond fantasies. So thats: 1. Scrubs 2. Rugby kit 3. Tuxedo ---

Flightsuits Firefighters in firefighting gear Naval officer fall/winter dress (that’s the dark blue/black uniform) Marine Corps officer formal, such as what is worn to the Marine Corps Ball Certain men in police uniform but they have to be the kind of men who get their uniforms custom-altered WW2 Germany Army/Air Corps/SD/other paramilitary forces - those sickos had good fashion sense Swiss Guards 😉 ---

I guess it was _partly_ in uniform…I was stuck in traffic going by a minor accident scene where the FD was called and there was my ex-bf, a paid on call firefighter getting out of his heavy gear next to the truck on the side of the road. Jacket off, just a tight t-shirt on top and firepants down around his ankles and boots, jeans underneath. Best part? He had his muscular arms outstretched and was yelling towards my car, “Call me!!” Sooo sexy…_swoon_. Too bad he was ALL kinda crazy/clingy. I’m living in a military town now, and just shopping I could start to feel giggly from all the young men around me in camo w/ their pants tucked in their work boots and yummy uniforms. Sure, I know they’re polyester, but it’s the _cut_ of them.
