What do you think of the constant uniform changes in the Navy?

Idiocy, plain and simple.

What was wrong with dungarees,shirts,Boondockers,whiter and blues. Looks more like the A/F now !!!

Preferred the traditional uniform. Every part had a purpose. Remember soaking new dungarees in saltwater and laying them on the deck to bleach.

Nuts, please go back to Dungurees

I think it reflects a nontraditional mind set. There was not one damned thing wrong with the working uniform of the Navy during the 60s. People like that damned Ray Maybus, SPIT!, came along and new everything just so they could make a legacy for themselves. Example: That liberal POS wanted to take Navy corpsmen from the Marine Corps, a tradition and team that went back eons. Thankfully, he got that stuffed up his ying yang. He should have been keel hauled for being a stupid shit unfit to lead a deck swabbing, much less a Navy and Marine Corps...............

I've seen the many changes of the navys uniforms being a an army/ navy brat my dad did 4 yes army and 26 yrs in the Navy and them bell bottom dungarees deterred me from joining the Navy...lol but the the blue bdu's we're really rediculous... I don't mind the newest ones they just came out with now they look a lot better than Digi blue bdus

This tinkering with uniforms has been going on since the 1970's and the Zumwalt day's as CNO or maybe back further than that. That's over four and a half decades spanning two centuries! If I and my wife had had this much trouble figuring out how to dress our kids they'd have been retired before they were out of diapers. I wonder if the Army, Air Force, and Marines quietly snicker to themselves every time they see a sailor dressed, inappropriately, in camouflage uniforms. Camouflage is intended to make the wearer blend into his surroundings. Why don't they dress sailors in haze gray jump suits or utilities? Oh! Wait! I know! We could dress them in light blue chambray shirts and dark blue denim trousers and top it all off with an organizational blue ball cap.

They just need to buy the Coast Guard uniforms if they are two things.#1 Fire proof #2 Long lasting. As for some Marines complaining why please explain to me why the Corps is back to "Brown side out ,green side out run in circles scream and shout "! The green uniform should be issued year round and the deserts issued on a case by case basis life if they are being deployed to the middle east or a CAX.

I was issued those ugly work clothes in 1971. I could barely wait for them to get raggedy and replace them with Seafarer dungarees and chambray shirts. I mostly wore a Dixie Cup but I wore the ball cap when on a dirty job. And nothing looks as sharp as a Cracker Jack suit. I don't think I'd look as sharp today because I have put on 30 pounds.
An aside. I worked for a while for the oldest longest serving SEABEE in the Navy. He had 42 years of service and his time served stripes met his chevrons.
He decided that the SEABEES in Public Works should wear greens. I was against it because I didn't feel like ironing, starching the 8 point cap with the turnbuckle form, blousing springs and hat and color insignia. I was wearing a pair of perma-press dungarees and shirt right out of the dryer.
Plus the department had shipboard rates as well.
Anyway, I showed him a copy of the plan of the day which showed the uniform of the day for ship's company and it wasn't greens. Had we been a SEABEE unit assigned then we could be forced to wear them. I then said that the guys in greens were not in in compliance and he dropped the whole thing.
Yeah, I'm a sea lawyer. Only one of a few cases I'd won before I got out.

One of the main things that set the NAVY a part from all the other services was their uniforms not only their working uniforms, but also their dress uniforms. When I was in the NAVY (1979 to 1985) we had the blue dungaree working uniform which in my opinion was and is the best working uniform out of all the services. The NAVY needs to go back to the traditional dungaree uniform that set them apart from the other services.

When I was in the US Air Force Reserve (2004 to 2010 I reenlisted because of 911 it took me almost 3 years to convince my then wife that I was not going to be sent to a war zone and get myself killed, but all of us know we have no control over if or when they might activate a reserve squadron. I kind of did not tell my then wife about that part) I hated those dam BDU uniforms!!! They were uncomfortable , they were hot and they were heavy.
