They couldn’t handle all the seamen. (I am sorry)
- Your username claims that you are a cat, but I've never met a cat who would consider apologizing for anything.
  
  My parents were Canadian.
- You should never have to apologize for greatness, such as this.
  
  Thank you, friend. Thank you for understanding.
- Isn't that why they wear the white uniforms, since it blends in better?
Go into any surplus shop and you'll see at least 4 different "every day wear" uniforms from the 90s to now.
I'm okay with (and generally supportive of) my taxes going toward military spending. Requiring servicemembers to wear a different style of clothing every 10 years or so is just a waste, though. Changing the uniform because some crusty old fuck decides they want to does not help the country win wars at sea.
- ~~These have been in for over a decade...~~
  I remember when ~~they~~ the first NWUs first came out the heavy coat wasn't available, the only way was if some "fell off a truck" but at least that meant the were half price.
  Real nice Gortex jackets, but half price was still 100s of dollars.
  Ironically they went to these because they hide stains better, but because you can wear them off base, they can't be stained....
  Which sounds like what led to this shortage.
  
  I've seen the dungarees, the utility uniform, the blue camo pattern, and now whatever this is. I just don't see what the point is in changing it over and over again.
Thank you for bringing The Onion back to Not The Onion. :)
Now you're cleaning toilets in your dress blues.
Please make the venn diagram of the supporters of this so we can understand it better
- Please include these major subgroups of the military:
  (Group1) Harambe apologists
  (Group2) Never nude
  (Group3) Catholic chaplains
WTFF?
Who is losing their job for such a massive cock up?
Does this signal a return to calling Navy personnel "seamen"?
Dicks out for master chief.
Pics pls.
