There goes the Navy f*cking with "tradition" again.
First it was beards *for safety*
Then it was the two beer lunch.
Then it was pretty much all facial hair.
Then sometime they started getting a ribbon for just graduating boot camp
...And got to wear special covers when they graduated...or something.
Then -at least they went *back* to traditional jumpers from that stupid `80's ice cream truck uniform.
Then they changed from the water-survivable dungarees and boon-dockers to that stupid blue cammie BDUs they have to wear today.
Now they're changing the dress uniform to the Shirley Temple mode.
-Oh wait, I was wrong.
Even Shirley Temple used the right uniform:
So where have I seen that new look before? Oh- Yeah!
H/T to Bob.
Not sure where you get the Navy boot camp ribbon from. The air force had one when I was in but there is no such Navy ribbon that I am aware of.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a new thing.
ReplyDeleteSiL got one for going through Marine boot camp two years ago.
