Finally some sanity returning to the military

#28

Quote:I spent 8 years in the Navy...The Navy has been built on tradition...It's rare to have much change happen...We wore almost the same uniform since WWII including the bell bottomed dungaree pants and shirt, and "boon dockers"  we still used the boatswain pipe for all events, reveille, sweepers,, breakfast, lunch, and, dinner for the crew, every daily event has its own tune to blow on the boatswains pipe...Then came Obama trying to change everything that means anything to sailors and it didnt go over so they changed it back...  
 

LOL.  Do you have any idea how many times the uniform has changed?  Just taking a guess, since I got out in 1998 after 9 years the "working uniform" (dungarees) has changed probably 4 or 5 times.

 

I would bet that people don't know, even current service members why dungarees had bell bottoms.  It certainly wasn't for "fashion", it actually served a purpose.

 

If sailors today were trained and had knowledge of that, it would/could possibly save lives.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
