Nice try, but I was asking a legitimate question, without an agenda.
No, you're right about one of the reasons we got NWUs. There was a sense of "the Navy recruiter showed me a picture of [this that or the other Navy uniform] so I went to the Army [or other service] recruiter instead." Enough people got it in their heads that we could get a bigger piece of those recruiting prospects if we had a camouflage uniform to be more rah rah we're military too. Not sure why we care about rounding out recruiting quotas with people who can't figure out how to google a few uniform pictures before they talk to a recruiter...

That was one uniform change I could get behind, much better than almost every other uniform change in the past ~18 years.
Yeah, all it would have been was just a khaki jacket/blazer/whatever they call it. You already have the other pieces- shoulder boards, SDB tie, khaki shirt, pants trousers, cover...

I think there is some truth there. On one hand, I don't think you should choose your service based on the uniforms, but I also think that an overly lame <wanted to use another word here> uniform might dissuade someone on the fence.

Look at the bright side (pun sort of intended), you could have had one of these:23157

Figured I'd just use this thread to ask the question... Watching a White House briefing and the 2-star (?) has NWU type-Guacamoles. Are NWUs now authorized within the beltway?

Yes. It's so we can be more like the Army or something. I'm not sure which NAVADMIN allowed it but it's relatively recent.
