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.....

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.
