Lots of foreign navies wear greens as a working uniforms on shore - it is nothing so crazy.
The type IIIs are pretty dang comfortable, especially compared to the type I.
I expect the SEALs will now roll out a different uniform, just to be, different.

And a lot of those navies don't have go to sea much either. I just wish the Navy would swallow its pride and use the USCG blues they have, simple and nice looking and 'Navy' enough.
The best part about this, I never have to buy them now!

Flight suits for all my friends!
So what you're saying is that I was trend setter when I burned mine... Sweet.
And some (Third World) armies wear blue as well (El Salvador comes to mind).

One of my peers noted that SEALs are allowed brown/desert boots, whereas the rest of us are in black boots. So, there's that.
I agree. This shit is nuts. Just go with what works. Let people wear it out in town. And stop being 'tards about this crap.
So did they melt or what?
From the uniform manual in the organizational clothing section...
g. Footwear. Authorized footwear worn with the NWU Type II/III is the Navy certified desert tan or brown brushless boots (including optional American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved safety boots). Smooth black leather boots are also authorized and must be blackened and buffed when worn in garrison. Bootlaces will be tucked in a manner to present a well-kept appearance.
Also it says "expeditionary units," not SEALs or SPECWAR types only. Can't remember where it resides, but at least for when DCUs were still a thing there was a whole list of commands authorized for them as being "expeditionary." All VP commands were on it, for example, and those commands going to the desert now are wearing type 3s.
M'kay...

"No More NKO"
"No more 'Golden Path'"
"No more blueberries"?
Just sayin'
