[mike172]

So theres the flight suit, and the whites, and that blue one, and the tan one.... As you can see my knollege is lacking. Can anyone give some info on what the diferent uniforms are called, and what ocasion calls for what uniform. I can't decide who has sweeter uniforms Navy or Marines....

You can find everything you ever wanted to know (and more) in there.

Edit: I think Chapter 3 is what you are looking for.

USMC Mess Dress is a $1000+ uniform. Talking to a MAJ in my command, it is not stocked but made to order.

I'm a huge fan of Tropical Utilities, complete with shorts, knee-high black socks, and pith helmet.

By the way, these two Petty Officers look like a pair of absolute retards. Is this the best we can find for our Official Uniform Regs?

Nice... almost as good as a mailman.

Does anyone know where to get a set of aviation working greens? I couldn't find any online places that have them.

I actually liked those. Never had any, just liked the way they looked.

Enlisted Navy working uniforms are by far the worst of any service. On the plus side I could take off my ESWS and "US Navy" patches and walk right into jiffy lube and not need to buy new clothing. Of course if I decided to kill anyone on the way to the new job that wouldn't require a new wardrobe either....

They are a special order item from NEX. You have to call their customer service line. They take FOREVER to show up. They are EXPENSIVE. Better check if your command is going to allow you to wear them (not all do) and see if they'll still be authorized for wear after Task Force Uniform's changes kick in.

From http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=15565

The Navy Working Uniform is being designed to take the place of utilities, wash khaki, coveralls, woodland green, aviation green, winter working blue and tropical working uniforms. The normal wear life is designed to last up to 18 months, compared to the current wear life of six months for the working uniform.

Looks like they're on their way out. Too bad, the greens are a sharp looking uniform, though impractical. They have the same public wear requirements as wash khakis or utilities. An ATCS at my first command used to wear them a lot in the winter time, I can't say I've seen them much since.

Cheers,

Yep, you really want to find if your command authorizes these. If you are the only guy wearing these, you will be "that guy." We had a LCDR that wore them (the only guy in the squadron who owned them) and he was dubbed many a new call sign....one being "Major" as he looked like a USMC Major (yes, very clever).

What's the point of wearing shorts if you're gonna pull your socks up to your crotch?
