Dungarees are good with me.

I think the big thing against dungarees is that prisons had not discovered
orange back in my day.

Went to my line shack today, and nearly all of the sailors there LIKED the
new uniforms deeming them more practical and consolidated. I tried to
poker-face and remain neutral, but frankly, I'm not impressed with them.

Anybody was has had to wear them as a uniform item would never ask that
question. : )


If nothing is wrong with them why can't they be worn off base?

Because the folks that get them filthy dirty during work don't have
enough sense not to wear them off base. That was a problem during the
short times when it was allowed when I was in. Also, some folks,
frequently from the above group, wore them in inappropriate places, like
local bars, and screwed it up for the rest of us who could follow the
rules.

Will the maternity top be limited to female enlisted types? ;-)

Only until the male completes his CPO initiation. 8-)
Oh, I also think the surgically-attached coffee cup goes with it. 8-)

Sorry, couldn't help it.

While I did like the look of the crackerjacks, I did HATE those
13-buttons! Had to have been an Officer above the rank of LT who
invented THAT one! (please not Humor-mode selected to the ON position)

Ditto flight suits, both O's and E's.

Ahhh, chicks in the military, now THAT'S a good idea(NOT!). We see the USAF
Academy follies all the time here in CO...guess they still don't get it.

Make the military all women or all men, not Co-Ed.

With the gray uniforms seen in this and other pictures, does anyone else
wonder if someone was channeling Ernest J. King; who loved the WWII officer
grays and hated khaki?

The sailor on the left looks like he's afraid a Marine might come by and
beat him up for wearing his uniform.
