Military life is full of examples when someone’s ego overrules logic. The short time I was in the Navy, I saw it in most every department. One department (supply) may even sabotage another department (engineering) to prove some sort of point.

I saw a Sergeant make a private wear his Kevlar helmet while the Seargent was only wearing his T-shirt, no hat. It was a hot day in Saudi and we were all hanging out but this guy wanted to be an ass.

And that is why I did my 5 years and left the Navy. Too many jerks on power trips.

I worked with a man who was on ships with the navy..He said the bottom of the ocean is full of military equipment...Every time a higher up visited, all equipment they could was tossed overboard and new equipment was ordered....

there could be a legitimate reason. ( but most likely not) That nice warm polyester fleece is a nightmare in a fire situation. it lights up easy, shrinks in place and you cant pull it off when burning,

All military uniforms should be fire retardant
