I got maybe 4 sets of working khakis when I was a graduating/new ENS. Never wore them a single day. I do wish I had bought a life time supply of the associated garrison covers though. They are far better than what you can buy at the NEX now IMO, lightweight, etc.

One aspect of service uniforms that I always likes was you could tell the a lot by one's ribbon stacks.
I once had a meeting with a BGen who's stack said he was a HQ deck jockey,
When I spoke with his Aide, a Maj, a quiet and unassuming professional, that man's stack said he'd not only been there-done that, but got a Purple Heart and a Silver Star for his troubles.
I'd venture to say that some of the biggest braggards have the smallest stacks.

Not sure if the Navy still has the phrase "Khaki on the flightline" but on the Tripoli, the deck crew (LSEs, grapes, etc,) really tightened things up when there was khaki on the flight deck, especially if it was their section Chief.
