I make it out to Camp Pendleton, CA a few times a month.
The haircuts, mustaches, sloppy uniforms, and poor fitness are indicators of reduced discipline.
They look like Sailors from the 1970s.

Actually, that started in the mid 1960's. I finished my last 3 years of Navy Reserve as a 2nd class enlisted sailor during that period of time.
We didn't wear uniforms. It was suggested to me by my CO that, I grow a mustache and only get my hair trimmed without sidewalls.
They didn't want us getting mugged or starting fights with the so called Peaceniks!
