Not really considering they're wearing multicams.
- Oh right, I forgot that if you are in the Air Force, that is the only possible way you can dress at all times. Never does anyone in the Air Force ever wear anything other than that.
  
  Why else would I be making so many comments?
  
  Then you would know that not everyone on the plane would be wearing multicam.
  It's a bit too blurry to be sure, but I'm pretty sure the guy standing to the right in the back next to the console with what looks like a patrol cap is more than likely the loadmaster and would be wearing a flight suit and over jacket.

  Still a bit hard to tell, but the guy is wearing a headset unlike any other of the border patrol guys, so he very well may be part of the flight crew. The point is that there's going to be at least 3 flight crew not in multicam.
  
  Your question doesn’t even follow what I said. I wasn’t even talking about you. Not everything is about you.

  "Not everything is about you bro!"
  Ok
  
  I think you need to read this conversation, because you are making less and less sense.
  Me:

  You:

  Your question does not follow what I said, and you literally made it about you making comments as if that had any relevance to the suggestion that Air Force personnel can only wear one type of outfit.
  Or are you saying you're one of the people in that photo and that's why you think this is something about you?
