USN Bye Bye Blueberries!

[exNavyOffRec]

Let's just go back to Dungarees they were comfortable and that way we can match those old recruiting posters

and the cotton coveralls comfortable, cheap, easy to store.

Agreed - that is a SAILOR's uniform. Never had to wear the blue berries - thankfully - always laugh when I see this pic:

Until the Navy brings back this coolness, they are on the losing side of the equation.

There's a VAQ squadron that has their shit hots like that. Looks weird.

That would be 133, as I recall. Between that and the Grateful Dead Friday patch, they've gone full 70's.

You may be cool, but you'll never be "Willem DeFoe in a shitty '90's action movie" cool.

A level of cool I can only dream of. Especially the porn-star mustache.

That patch came to be when I was in that squadon 15 years ago.

$40 at an Olongapao tailor and I ended up with my own set of custom fitted two-piece tiger stripe flight suit.

How about "Dress for your day"

That's basically code for not hurting millennials' feelings and letting them express their creativity.

Last time I spent $40 in Olongapao I needed a corpsman and an injection, not a tailor. Man, I miss walking down Magsaysay!

Doesn't get a *ANY* cooler than this:

Nothing cooler than the real thing. Tiger stripe flight suit and the A-4 Skyhawk fresh off a strike...

 

[CommodoreMid]

Never bought a set. Don't even own a set of Type IIIs either. If I'm not wearing a flight suit then I'll just throw on khakis and be done.

More useful pockets in blueberries or type 3s, plus ability to remove blouse is nice. Khakis/other service uniforms suck for women in the holding shit department and the fact the pants go up to your boobs, but now I guess I need to go try on a pair of men's khaki pants to see if they suck less.

 

[Gatordev]

Khakis do suck for holding things.....but beyond that, you're just making excuses for wearing the abomination that is the Blueberry.
