Cue The Village People!
Two stories that makes me proud to be a Navy Vet… and not be currently serving!
Our fleet will smell like fried chicken.
Domestically produced biofuels will lessen the military’s dependence on petroleum form overseas and “make us better war fighters,” Mabus said. What it won’t do – at least in the short term – is save any money in an era of constrained budgets. The $12 million purchase equates to a per-gallon cost of about $26. Mixed 50/50 with conventional fuel, as the Navy plans to use it, the cost is around $15 a gallon, Mabus said.
Our Sailors will be well dressed for the occasion. NOT!
What’s black and white and in short supply all over? The service dress blue jumper.
For the past three months, a production problem has left the Navy shorthanded in five common sizes of the SDB jumper, the top half of the winter crackerjacks. These male-only uniforms are missing from the racks of some uniform stores, and some recruits are graduating from boot camp without jumpers in their size.

And when the hell did big Navy think that aquaflage was a good idea?

Go Army, Beat Navy
I’m no hater, but a uniform item called the “service dress blue jumper” brings to mind 1980’s era teenage girls, not steely eyed killers upon the blue.
Go army.
you know I want to throw out there that there are quite a few female sailors I don’t mind seeing go without their uniforms. . .
Doc, there’s also quite a few you’d have to grease up their hips and throw in a candy bar to get them through a watertight hatch.
