Do we not have more important things to do then continue to mess with the uniforms.

One of my pet peeves. The uniforms that we wore through serious Naval battles served us well. Why the need for constant change. I fear for what the results will be when there is a serious fire and that man made material melts.

Uniform shenanigans have been the butt of many jokes in the Army. At least it looks like they're finally getting it right.
The Navy's blue camo is ridiculous. They definitely have us beat on that one.

I hate to say it, but it is basically an evaluation report bullet. "Developed and implemented a service wide uniform improvement" looks good on paper.
So we all grumble and go to the MCCS to get the latest fashion.

Yes, but the way I see it, Sir, is that we deal with uniforms on a daily basis and some of them are pretty expensive not only to purchase, but to make. So I'm glad to see some of the lesser used items going away, and more useful items coming into play. While I'd beg to say we don't really need four or even three sets of NWUs issued in boot camp, it's nice to see they're making cuts and adding what's necessary in place of them. I'm glad big Navy is trying to look out for us a little more.

As the major issued uniform is unsafe foe shipboard use....... Then again, to the brass, servicemember safety has always been job # 3 or so.

I think some time in the mid 1980's the army switch the color of the Green Class Uniform by 2 or three shades, that one ticked me off. The waste of money for three shades of color when the troops in the field were begging for the return of Khaki's.

The old uniforms were a lot easier to maintain (IMO).

Back in my Navy days in 1974 we were transitioning from Cracker Jacks to the coat and tie...4-years later we went back to the Cracker Jacks. Many evolutions of uniform changes have been observed by all services, to bad we cant leave well enough alone when we find a great service uniform that clearly defines each branch of service and is actually a well made and functional uniform.

When we went from dungarees to some sort of pull over shirt and dark blue pants, the Navy discovered they were indeed not flammable, they just melted to your skin. So again the Navy pulls another hair brainier with the NWUs...a different generation of leaders but the same old hair brain uniform changes that cost us the service member who is also a tax payer to correct stupidity.

Our uniforms seem to chase the next war.

peace time military... some people just want to seem important.

Obviously, no.
