The Navy one looks reasonably accurate, except for the part about knowing how to swim.

I always liked a nice pair of properly faded dungarees myself but they don't wear them anymore. So instead of stenciling names on the uniforms they have embroidered patches sewn on. Great deal for the Navy Exchange Uniform Shops. Other than that mostly correct.

I went back into the reserves a couple of years ago, and now they wear what are basically Dickies pants. Iron-on crows and stencils are verboten.

I still have a ton of bellbottoms somewhere. I should sell them to a trendy retro clothes shop :)
