I always smiled that I spent "most days underway" in my blue coveralls, while my SWO bosses spent the time in their new flight suits. Past the last sea bouy, who cared?
Oh, my.

All I see are two sets of floating heads and hands. Creepy.SWOveralls, flight suits, wash khakis...don't worry, friends, we'll all be cammo-ed up soon!

Seriously, nothing screams naval heritage and tradition more than cammies.:icon_tong

Speaking of floating, try finding them in the water now.
Blue coveralls aren't designed to break up the wearer's outline, cammies are.How is this much different that trying to find someone in the water with BLUE coveralls?

They were 'da best jacket going. Still got 3 of 'em.![]()
Bumped into a reservist a few weeks ago wearing one and after seeing it, I would love to have one. Not sure if the Active duty guys would give me shit about it though. It's a way cooler looking jacket than the CWU-45/P or CWU-36P. Too bad they don't make them in NOMEX anymore.
"That's not authorized for wear...blah, blah, blah"

They are authorized for wear. We had several of them in my last squadron (including the CO) and I've been looking to pick one up (preferably throught the supply system) for awhile. Just never got around to it.
I knew a guy who lived 2 doors down from my friend's dorm room. He was into the stargate show and while we were getting ready to go around the corner for some In-n-Out, he put on one of those, unfortunately it was all faggoted up with stargate patches... I asked him if it was a new repro and he said it was an old one he got off eBay...
I hated the guy for the rest of the day... such a cool old-school jacket that admittedly I wish I had... only to be covered in gay stargate flair....
