Sailors: How do you feel about your new service uniform?

Question

I experienced them last year at my Navy Junior ROTC program. It was nice only having only to worry about one uniform, but man, the johnny cash ones (black shirt with black tie) looked so badass. And whites; they look so much better! Do you like the new service uniforms? Do you prefer the previous ones? In my opinion, they should have the old ones, with the same ones as the peanut butters. And a service uniform for the winter. What do you guys think? Thanks for reading. Anchors Aweigh.

Answer 1

I didn't get any new Service Uniforms; wrong pay-grade.



The only real problem I have with the black and tans is I think they should have a rating patch. We don't have enough uniforms that still have those.



Edited to add: Rating patches would also avoid this problem (NSFW):

NWUs? Those are a monstrosity and a crime against nature. I'd be happy to burn all three types.



Edited to add again: @MRSJVB: Too true. Though, I've been told that once ignited, they stay on fire until they finish melting, as opposed to something like the old FR Dungarees, which self-extinguished once whatever you were lighting them with went away. Progress!

Answer 2

DH says the Blueberries are very comfortable/easy to work in but are ugly as sin.



Whites( Dress and working) were/are hideous( especially the damn Chokers)



ETA: Inkstick: pretty sure they wouldn't burn, only melt into a charred slag and smell terrible.....

Answer 3

The Navy is a Noble fighting force, not the SS
