Someone sent this to me and asked what the gently caress is wrong with SWOs. I had never seen it before nor heard of it.  What the gently caress is wrong with SWOs?

Seems unnatural, merchant bridge officers will stand even the nastiest of watch in gym shorts and flip flops

If you could stand bridge watch in flip flops and gym shorts, SWO retention might go up.

One time I took the watch from a first mate in yoga pants with “JUICY” in sparkly glitter on the butt. One time, I sent an AB down to change because I could see his balls down the left leg of his Grateful Dead daisy dukes. In conclusion, the merchant marine is a land of contrast.

I had a chief engineer force all the mates to wear coveralls and steel toes on the bridge per company policy and it owned. The captain thought it was funny to go along with because he already wore boots and jeans and his captain shirt anyway.

My understanding is that they're the same coat just black and with a non-furred collar. Haven't seen it in person so I can't confirm though.

It’s just gold colored gaudy buttons. They look terrible, like a nautical pimp designed them. Good ol’ plastic anchor disks are just fine.

I've gotten to see the jacket first hand (ADM Brown's staff was wearing them when he came to visit) and they look a hell of a lot better than the Ikes. I can't say that they're any thicker than an aviator jacket, but leather tends to be a bit more wind resistant at least. Anything to say that we're cool and are part of a cool club I suppose. Retention rates are apparently terrible for SWOs right now, so I'm curious what the next bonus will be. It was 105k two years ago.

When you guys say Ike jackets, what are you referring to exactly? I don't think the Navy has or has ever has what I understand an Ike jacket to be.
