My own service, the Navy, is now switching from dungarees to cammies for all sailors. Worse, cammies in a blue pattern.

WHY? To make it harder to see someone in a man-overboard situation? Blue cammies, the color of a ship's wake, is the absolute worst possible color for a Navy seaman.

You're 100% right about that. If you think about it, blaze orange makes the most sense, for obvious reasons...
