I assume she did not recognize the Navy Working Uniform. I’m not a fan of it, but it is official.

She says her husband is in teh Army. Then she should know that all the military branches change uniforms from time to time.

They changed the Marine Corps uniform twice while I was in, and all have changed several times since then................

Back on the usafish, a sailor was NEVER allowed to leave the base in his “working uniform”. unless you were in your car and headed straight home, you never stopped and walked around in your working clothes. And i agree. I think the working uniforms make them all look like wannabees. Dungarees’ were better suited for work.

I almost spit when I saw the "cammo" they issued to US Navy personnel some time back. It was colored blue, dark blue, and some lighter color, IIRC.

I recall seeing it and thinking that, if you wore that and fell overboard, they would never find you. What would be the point of it? To blend in with the surface of the ocean?

I think the concept is asinine on naval vessel.

As for the subject at hand, this woman should have been arrested for assault. I give the guy kudos for not pummeling her.

It beats the hell out of the blue shirt and dungarees I wore 40 years ago.

I came to the same conclusion, I am not a fan of the uniform either. it makes no sense for a Sailor other than reducing the seabag. Afloat they wear coveralls for the most part so I guess it made sense to someone. The Navy is the only service whose mission does not change in war or peace. We forward project Naval power facilitate and support forward deployment of personnel. We do that whether it is peace time or not. We do not need a green camo (or blueberries) uniform to make us look like warfighters.

I am tired of so many military wives who think they are entitled because their husbands serve. You did not earn your husbands rank, you did not go to boot camp or OCS so truthfully you are not entitled to wear an EGA or some other crest. Until you actually deal on a daily basis with these wives you cannot imagine how SOME of them behave. They expect to be thanked for their service as a military wife, by someone other than their husband. I pissed one off one day when I told her the average law enforcement or firefighters wife deserves more respect than her. So this woman's behavior is not surprising.

Is that what the Army would call a fatigue uniform? IIRC it’s a light blue shirt with slacks of various colors. With all the carrier flight deck videos I’ve watched I should know.
