What do you think? Underwater camo? Make the sheets in the bunks the same color and no one will be able to find you:O:

:timeout:Maybe so they won't be spotted in their camo life-rafts in case they have to abandon ship?:D Looks like someone who owned a uniform company needed an infusion of cash and talked Navy procurement into the "necessity" of underwater camo. I wonder if these are being manufactured in Chicago?:hmmm:

Who cares about the uniforms? What the hell is going on in that formation!?
Talking in the ranks!? Eyeballing the whole damn area!? Who is that fatbody in the second rank!? Why isn't he doing pushups and sweating Crisco!? Why do I see people hanging their heads!? Are they not familiar with the position of attention!?
Why do I see sideburns in my formation!? Is this a U.S. Navy ship or American Bandstand!?
Sweet God Almighty, I've never seen such a sorry collection of malingering misanthropes! Someone pull those men's heads out of their asses so I have a place to put my boot! :DL :salute:

Looks ridiculous to me. Spent two hitches on two fast attacks and never once did we have a uniform inspection. Jesus! The COB looks like a schoolboy....:arrgh!:

I completely agree but what'd you expect? They are after all only swabbies. :D

Am I the only one that finds those uniforms hard to look at?
Seriously, I get the feeling that if I squint hard enough, it'll pop out "GO NAVY!" in 3D or something.

The Air Force one is even worse. Teal Cammies
Teal?? What the :censored: is Teal? In my over 20 years in the Air Force I never found myself in front of, or behind, a Teal. What is Teal? Do you eat it or shoot it?
Is Teal something I would like to blend in with when in combat?
Teal cammies. Carry me home to die! :nope:
Funny navy story
There I was, no $h!t
About a hundred years ago I was in EOD school. We had a mixed class (Army, AF, and a few Navy). For some ungodly reason it was decided that we needed to form up one morning (mistake 1). I don't know, every once in the while the base commander seemed to want to remind us that we were EOD AND in the military. Sheeesh. Pick one ok? Anyway, ours is not to reason why, ours is just to get our sorry butts out of the racks and form up...Such is the military way (from what I hear)
The NCOIC was trying to get our motley crew into some form of military formation and we complied, more or less.
Then the NCOIC gave the command
Cover!
All the Army and Air Force guys made subtle adjustments to their body position to get a good alignment.
The Navy guys fixed their hats on their heads!!
Honest truth. All of us were laughing. God the NCOIC was pissed. :nope:
The Navy guys were suitably embarrassed. :oops:

All the best stories start that way and this one was no exception:rotfl:

By teal are you talking about the tiger stripes? I so they seemed to be quite popular in the jungles of Vietnam and look a lot less lame than the Navys new working uniform...

Nope. The new Air Force cammies look just like the Army and the Navy (Digital pattern) but the dominant colour is Teal.
Tiger stripe would be COOL!
I once saw a set of night Tiger stripe cammies. Black with mid-night blue stripes. They were too cool for school! :yeah:

I wasn't thinking of you doing it, I was thinking of you giving the orders.

Teal was the color of my last car. Also the color of hospital scrubs. But you knew that already.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be teal.:sunny:
