Coveralls on board ship, USCG dickies style on shore. Unit ball caps with both.

no but since we're talking about boot camp I remember chiefs always wearing the Johnny Cashs' to gently caress with us for the last months that they could because we only knew black pants = petty officer tan = chief

"good morning pett.....AY YOU LITTLE gently caress HOW ABOUT WE TRY THAT AGAIN"

Honestly ribbons and all that junk should be relegated to dress uniform and then there should be a standard working uniform (coveralls anyone?) Like, a real working uniform. That or like the CG two piece coverall type utility whatever the gently caress. You can give all the niche units ther snowflake uniforms, who cares, just don't add dumb arbitrary wear rules to them ( lol fat chance). That or just make them pay for it out of their uniform allowance. I mean really there's no reason not to allow everyone to wear the same uniform if they so choose. I'm not saying let people do stolen valor with seal tridents and poo poo but you get my point.

Also someone needs to finally decide if coveralls are acceptable to wear everywhere or if we should just issue everyone flight suits instead. Because speaking of arbitrary....

One of my old ships went Anchor Away once, years after I'd left.

Brake failed on the open sea, lashing didn't hold (hadn't been put on in the first place), OOW noticed some sparks and by the time the watchman got up forward, there just wasn't a port anchor.

I'm always amused by these. It's great when our engine rooms have cctv and I can watch the bow drop anchor from the control console.

I went to Iraq when we invaded back in 2003. We had a Master Sergeant (E-8) who got stop lossed because of the pending war. He spent 6 months in the desert in charge of making Marines burn poo poo in 50 gallon drums we cut in half.

Thank you for listening to my totally relevant story.

At least it isn't like he was talking about joining a multilevel marketing scheme where they'd profit from him joining. BitCoin is still a ponzi scheme and all the people joining now are just blowing the bubble bigger.
