Navy Working Uniform Type II and III - finally something sailors can wear....

What's up with the guy doing the Mandarin collar thing in the first pic? Looks retarded. Why is the Navy insisting on going Army-style with the cammies with things like this, and the whole sleeve roll thing?

Huh? And the sleeve rolling thing goes back a while that I've seen. The USMC style of rolling never made sense to me. You have to take the blouse off to unroll. But then again I never had the stones to ask my Gunney at OCS.

Why would you need to unroll your sleeves?

MOPP

Which was the exact reason that when the other serviced did do a sleeve roll they did it in a way that they could immediately pull them down.

Sleeves are down in the field. Sleeves are only rolled in garrison between spring and fall where MOPP isn't an issue.

Sure they are...

Look Im not saying I wouldnt love to have my sleeves rolled in the heat. Just like I wouldnt love to strip my top off while preflighting a helicopter because it helps me stay hydrated and keeps me from damaging or having a fuel spill on the uniform. But if you want to address uniform stupidity Id start with why the hell do I have to wear a reflective belt with a PT uniform that has them built into it while running in formation with 100 other assholes on a road that is closed from 0600-0700 every day for the express purpose of PT.

At least the Army has finally realized that ACU sucks. They should be in the new Multicam soon. Would be nice if we got a clue and went that route also.
Ugly/ridiculous looking uniforms - check
Not doing anything to actually make your seabag smaller - check
Uniforms that are not at all comfortable - check
Making everyone feel special by allowing junior sailor input via NavyTimes - check

Sounds like great Navy success from the uniform board

So wait...the desert cammie uniform is not going away. But our snake eaters get their own unique desert digital cammie? Even though they'll probably continue to rightfully wear whatever the hell they want. Am I the only one who fails to see the logic here?

Who the fuck thinks this stuff up? Me and the three other stooges playing foosball in the wardroom could come up with a better process than this in the time it takes to hang five goals on each other.
