Geesh...no kidding. What's wrong with the traditional blue dungarees and khakis? Were the sailors getting an inferiority complex because the other services "in the field" all had cammies? What purpose do digitized blue cammy uniforms serve, onboard a grey ship?
I remember my progression in Navy boot camp in the mid-80s, especially with respect to the dungarees. The degree of "fading" announced to everyone whether you were in Week 1, or Week 9. When we were brand new recruits, the newly-issued dunagree trousers were still deep, a dark inky blue, stiff, and smelling of moth balls. They could practically stand by themselves. The shirts were scratchy and stiff, and had the smell of long-term storage.
After about 5 or 6 weeks however, the dungarees started to fade, and actually became comfortable. The lighter blue color looked good against our sun-burnt faces and necks; our white leggings and white duty belts accented the color of the now-worn dungarees.
In any case, if banning the new camoflaged uniform saves just one life...
