Hang on, I'll tell my dad (former aircraft tech) what you think about the Navy's uniforms. He'll be over shortly to kick your ass. ;)

I do, but can't post why...some people might be offended.


But in the Army, we wore our name on our chest....

they can make their pants into a floating um, object so if they fall overboard they can stay afloat, same with their hats and whatnot, they are made that way for a reason

I will admit that they do look a bit silly.

But; I will help and defend my brothers in arms. The uniform represents tradition which is something that all military
branches do not let go of so easily. They are working on a newer version of the blue uniform which I think you are
reffering to.

I am a Marine and though our uniforms are somewhat different, each uniform suits a different function.

The winter blues are pretty sharp. They are also called the Johnny Cash uniform.
