One of my old friends, Herschel's shirt states my sentiments completely. A truly great American; in every war since 1962. Many of you know him, The Bull Frog!
THAT'S the criteria for posting in this thread? AOR2 pattern on some random dude overseas makes him a SEAL? These heavy hitters MUST be SEALS!!!!!! Taken outside of Jalalabad...or maybe Joliet, Illinois...I confuse the two. For you South Park fans out there, we're gonna' need a montage and SOCOM or JSOC or YOMOM made this of the resident pipe hitters in action: AOR2, because if you are wearing it you MUST be a SEAL.
to be fair, the guys in that first pic you posted all had moustaches...so between that and the AOR...I would say they are SEALs..haha
There's an EA-18G squadron/ Det at Bagram and all of them minus the aircrew wear what? Anyone? Anyone? AOR2
Functionality I would assume as opposed to any need to hide. On the carriers, the "deck apes" always wore BDUs and that was back in the late 90's. I've even seen folks up here in MD wearing it. Personally, I think it looks better than that stupid ass camo they wear nowadays. Don't get me started on that stupid Navy Working Uniform (NWU) I or the Service Uniform.
AB & BM would wear BDU on carriers? And what's so awful about our beloved NWU?? I hear so many people here say how much they like them and how comfy they are. Makes my eye twitch... You're talking about the peanut butters right, Navy Service Uniform? I like the look of them. Didn't they replace like 3-4 alternative uniforms when they were introduced?
Yes, anyone working the flight deck or even hanger deck wore BDU pants. NWU blue commo is gay as hell and not worn underway so what's the point? The PBs supposedly replaced the summer whites and winter blue uniforms but really only reduced the seabag by one uniform. The NWU I, II, and IIIs have replaced the dungs but added two more color schemes. Here in MD, the sailors wear the NSU only once a week and the NWU the rest of the time. So what was the problem with the previous uniforms? Waste of freakin' tax payer dollars in my opinion.
So you'd suggest ditching the NWU I altogether or just a different pattern? I'm not disagreeing with you, I hate them. I'd be happy walking around in coveralls all day long.
