Is the Navy trying to look more professional by adopting a USAF look? Perhaps this is a complimentary effort to Gen. McPeak's attempt to make our service dress look more like the Navy's? For the life of me I can't figure out why the services spend so much time and money changing uniforms. The whole "unique BDU" fiasco is a prime example. I thought the smart service would be the one to hold on to the current BDU while the other 3 changed to a "unique BDU" and by default they would have a unique BDU without the time or money spent in inventing a new one. Alas, no service did..... BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |

Chief Jim, YGTBSM! What is that kind of uniform? Will this replace the Crackerjack? I know that most of the blue Jackets that were in my squadron liked the crackerjack. It set them apart, They wanted a easy to maintain working uniform but the dress uniform. You didn't have to guess what service they were in. Sad sad day No, this would not replace any of the dress uniforms -- crackerjacks and dress whites stay. The year-round uniform would replace the winter working blues and summer working whites. http://www.flagshipnews.com/current/dec092004_1.shtml -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "Our country, right or wrong.

Sad sad day Sparky I wore the crackerjacks back in the '60's and 70's. For a working, non dungaree uniform it was hard to beat the undress blues. The woolen nature meant they were nearly maintenance free. Wrinkles unheard of. Shake them out, grab a lint roller, and a minute later you were on your way. With a spare dree jumper available you were ready to go out the gate anytime. |

wrote: http://www.news.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=19493 When I first looked at the pictures and saw that they were presented at a NAVMEDCEN I thought it was for the health services folks. A very similar uniform is presently used by male corpsmen attached to Marine units. I would bet that female corpsmen have a "Woman Marine" look. Then I re-read it and saw it was a proposal for ALL Navy enlisted men. I guess I give this a Big Thumbs Down. What's wrong with Marines looking like Marines and Sailors like Sailors????? The womans version makes the model look pregnant. Or maybe just VERY "hippy." On a really thin woman (who has never had children) this might "get by." But add the natural spreading of the pelvis that comes with child birth (or the "natural spread" that comes with age) and you won't have too many happy enlisted women. In any event I can't see too many women opting for this. My wife (a retired O-6 Flight Surgeon) agrees. Maybe looking like the Good Humor Man in summer and Lash LaRue in winter is not so bad after all. Bill Kambic |
